Hi all:

I'm trying to compile dosemu 1.1.5, and I keep having problems with
getting the X support in. I'm running redhat 9 and have installed all
the packages for X development. Anyway, dosemu did compile on my first
try, but when I started it by typing 'xdosemu', it only opened in a
terminal with no mouse support. In the terminal I started it in, it said
that X support is not compiled in. I checked my compile-settings file,
and it said that x was on.

When I try to './configure', I get that the following output just before
configuring finishes:

configure: WARNING:
configure: WARNING: Rejecting system S-Lang with UTF-8 support. It is
incompatible with DOSEMU. Forcing use of the supplied S-Lang plugin.
configure: WARNING:
configure: WARNING: Compiling without X support.
configure: WARNING: Install the X development libraries if you want
support for X.

I don't get this. If I have ALL the Redhat 9 X development packages
installed, shouldn't the necessary libraries be in place? If not, what
do I need to install that isn't already there?

BTW - I've had no problem using the 1.0.2 binaries, but I was hoping to
get 1.1.5 running for the sound support.

Thanks for any help

look at the configure output; it should say something like:
checking for X... libraries /usr/X11R6/lib, headers /usr/X11R6/include
also look in config.log for clues.

the relevant RPM is something like XFree86-devel
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/X.h and /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.a should exist

isn't it that by default now?

apparently with linkstatic some more libraries need to be linked in. But I
don't know which ones; this seems to be RH specific. config.log should
have the details in the lines following
"checking for XCloseDisplay in -lX11"

I don't know what do with "that IPC error" either.

Thanks,

I did get dosemu to compile by setting linkstatic off.

Now I'm getting that IPC error that I don't know what to do with.

BTW - the X.h and libX11.a files you mention below do exist in the
proper directories on my system. What I don't get is why I'm told X
won't be compiled in when I use linkstatic on.

In Mandrake 8.1 I could compile linkstatic on and X on either. I could compile 
with linkstatic off and X on oder linkstatic on and X off. Now I have 
compiled dosemu in Debian 3.0r1 and linkstatic on and X on worked out fine. 
If it is of interest I can compare the files in the distributions.

Regards

Claudia

Yes - I would be interested in anything you find out. I was hoping if I
could compile with linkstatic and x on, then I might be able to run
dosemu-1.1.5 without getting the IPC errors I mentioned earlier. I
understand that the last available dosemu binaries (1.0.2) were compiled
with linkstatic on, and these binaries actually work fine.
