another problem: compiling with X11-support

another problem: compiling with X11-support

[Dr.Claudia Neumann]

Hi Bart,

thanks for updating tip. I updated to:
gcc 2.96-0.62mdk
glibc-devel 2.2.4-6mdk
binutils 2.11.90.0.8-5mdk
XFree86-devel 4.1.0-17mdk

Now it compiles, but only without X11-support. 

I run a Clipper program, which crashes, if you try to proceed past EOF or 
BOF. The last I saw in this mailing list about this problem was, that you 
should use dosemu with X11, so only dosemu will crash and not linux. Or is 
there another way around. If it is possible, I would prefer running the 
Clipper program without X11.

Thanks for your help

Claudia

DOSEMU should never crash linux if you run it unprivileged as a normal
user. This is independent of running it in a terminal or using xdosemu.

I have no experience with Clipper so cannot comment on that.

Hi, Bart!

There was no link /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.a. Now it has compiled with 
X11-Support. Thanks.

No, I run it as user. With the new compiled program 1.1.3 in X-Windows now it 
makes a beep and stops, but I can shut the window and start the program again.

In console mode there is now not even a beep and the program stops, but I can 
change to another console and kill the program. I don't have to restart 
linux. 

In the attachment you can find a boot.log running dosemu in X11 loading the 
Clipper program and then trying to pass over EOF. 

Thanks for your help
