Re: Problem with dosemu

Hi Frantisek,

Thanks for your help.

(1) I'm almost there. Your rpm 1.2.2-1 did install, and it did go through initial steps, got to a black screen, but no prompt and the CPU is system loaded 100%. I had to kill xterm to stop it. But this may be due to lingering dosemu installations from my compiled 1.4 version, so I'll do some cleanup later.

(2) Do I understand correctly that you say compiled 1.4 on i386 (or for that matter i586, i.e. any 32 bit PC processors) does not work? It did not work for me, as indicated in the original posting: compile OK, but dosemu command starts nothing. At least I could stop it with Ctr-C.

One step at the time...

Thank you both for your interest in helping me.

This is an old Fedora-3 installation that I have mangled up and use it as
a sandbox to learn the inner workings of linux. I have managed to compile
the programs I need and while doing so I learned a lot. Now the specifics:

2.6.20 kernel on i686, AMD machine with nvidia graphics.

When I did ./configure it went OK, no warnings or errors. Compiled also
without problem. It is a challange for me to figure out, with some help,
why it is not booting up into the virtual dos window.

By the way, "dos" is also and old thing, but I still have some favorite
applications (not games) that I would like to use from within my linux.

I do have a modern installation as well, xubuntu 12.04, kept current.
There I use dosbox installed the easy way, directly from distro.

This is my story...
Hello Janos, I tried (after years :) run again my FC3/i386 distro and
found there dosemu-1.2.2 RPM package, which I build at that time.
You can download if at:
http://www.hanzlici.cz/packages/fedora/dosemu/fc3/dosemu-1.2.2-1.i386.rpm

Unfortunately I have no dosemu-1.2.2 source RPM.

I further tried to build under FC3 some newer dosemu version, and
successfuly compile dosemu-1.3.2 (from ~ Fedora 5 times) and
dosemu-1.4.0.1 (from ~ Fedora 11 times). Compiling newer versions
fails on dosemu commands (in i86 assembler) build, and as I'm bad
programmer, no know how solve this.
Both these versions You can download from my web at
http://www.hanzlici.cz/packages/fedora/dosemu/fc3/
(along with their source RPMs)

HTH, Franta Hanzlík
