Hi, the binary tgz distribution http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/dosemu/dosemu-1.4.0-bin.tgz?download is an example of something that is relocatable, and is created using the dist/mkbindist script (see in there for instructions). > set the DOSEMU_LIB_DIR, DOSEMU_CONF_DIR, and DOSEMU_HDIMAGE_DIR envvars, > in addition to PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I also have had to redirect the > etc/dosemu/drives/c and d symlinks. DOSEMU looks in $HOME/.dosemu before /etc/dosemu, and see also below. > ERROR: X support not compiled in or not found: > ERROR: /usr/lib/dosemu/libplugin_X.so: cannot open shared object file: No > such file or directory You can avoid this error by putting libplugin_*.so into the same directory as dosemu.bin. (it ignores LD_LIBRARY_PATH -- that is something that could be changed though, of course) > Error in built-in global.conf: (line 671) Disk-device/file > /var/lib/dosemu/drives/c doesn't exist. > > Since I have explicitly set DOSEMU_HDIMAGE_DIR, I don't know why I still > see this. DOSEMU_HDIMAGE_DIR is ignored (but it is set as environment variable by DOSEMU itself). You'd need to give dosemu.bin the --Fimagedir option (see the man page) to make it work; also --Flibdir should give the directory corresponding to ../../share/dosemu (DOSEMU_LIB_DIR), -n completely ignores dosemu.users and dosemu.conf, and -f lets you override ~/.dosemurc. Also, the patch below makes the script a bit more robust, and the 1.4.0.1 patch update makes dosemu a bit smarter about finding fonts. --- dist/dosemu.bindist (revision 1844) +++ dist/dosemu.bindist (working copy) @@ -28,12 +28,17 @@ " exit 1 fi - mkdir -p $HOME/.dosemu/drive_c $HOME/.dosemu/drives + mkdir -p $HOME/.dosemu/drive_c/tmp $HOME/.dosemu/drives rm -f $HOME/.dosemu/drives/c $HOME/.dosemu/drives/d ln -sf $HOME/.dosemu/drive_c $HOME/.dosemu/drives/c ln -sf $BOOT_DIR_PATH/drive_z $HOME/.dosemu/drives/d cp -fp $BOOT_DIR_PATH/conf/autoexec.bat $BOOT_DIR_PATH/freedos/autoexec.bat cp -fp $BOOT_DIR_PATH/conf/config.sys $BOOT_DIR_PATH/freedos/config.sys + # the below two cp's are usually also done by dosemu.bin but are done here + # in case DOSEMU terminates leaving a disclaimer file behind, or + # if ~/.dosemu/disclaimer exists but ~/.dosemu/drives/c does not. + cp -fp $BOOT_DIR_PATH/conf/autoexec.bat $HOME/.dosemu/drive_c + cp -fp $BOOT_DIR_PATH/conf/config.sys $HOME/.dosemu/drive_c fi unset INSTALL } Hope that helps Bart -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-msdos" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
