I have been in this position for many years; a Dos Cadd program I depend on will not run properly on Dosemu under 64-bit linux, but runs fine on 32-bit systems. So I just use a 32-bit virtual Ubuntu machine (I use VMware player). Works fine. I would be happy to send you a copy of the VM if you would like. thanks --jim gunn On Fri, 30 Dec 2016, Richard White wrote:
I'm moving to a 64-bit system (Debian stable). The Dosemu website speaks about 64-bit ports since at least V 1.4.X, I have downloaded those binaries (with instructions that make no mention of any special 64-bit considerations or issues), but have been unable to get them to work and I wonder if they are 64-bit aware, It is also notable that debian currently does not seem to offer a dosemu package. Am I on the wrong track? There was talk of a V2 in about 2013. Was that a fork, and should I be using it perhaps? Yet the original dosemu site persists, still with 2007 information, and no indication that it is not still relevant. All of this makes me wonder if this (sadly) is a dead end. To cut to the chase: what do I need to do to run dosemu on a 64 bit OS, as promised? where is the software, and where is it documented? Any help or pointers (or critiques) would be much appreciated.
