Error compiling DOSEMU

Error compiling DOSEMU

[Gerassimo Tselentis]

Hi

I've been trying to compile DOSEMU on Mandrake 9.1 with no success. I've
already resolved two error, one regarding yacc where the output file was
not named properly and the second where I did not have flex (lex)
installed. Now I'm getting the following error:

lib/libarch_linux_mapping.a(mapself.o)(.text+0x64d): In function
`realloc_mapping_self':
: `sys_errlist' is deprecated; use `strerror' or `strerror_r' instead
lib/libarch_linux_slang-elf.a(sldisply.o)(.text+0x72): In function

make[1]: ***

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tselentg/Documents/dosemu-1.1.4/src'
make: *** [default] Error 2

I'm not an apt programmer and so I wouldn't know what to do. I'd
appreciate if anyone can help.

Thanks

P.S. I'm looking to play old MS-DOS games under Linux, which is why I'm
trying to get this to work. If there's a better solution, would someone
let me know? Also pls cc me a reply since I'm not subscribed to the
list.

Depending how "old" they are, you could have a look at DosBox or the
MESS PC emulation.  However, DOSEMU is your only way to run any DPMI
software and likely is more precise of an emulator than the others which
are focused toward games only.
