Problems while compiling dosemu-1.1.4-3

Problems while compiling dosemu-1.1.4-3

[Peter Forst]

Hi there,

I`ve got an problem, while compiling the dosemu 1.1.4 with patchset1.1.4-3
under my linux SuSE 7.3/Kernel 2.4.16.
The clean 1.1.4 without the patchset makes no problems while compiling.

Here is the message, hope someone can help me to fix the problem :-):

mouse.c: In function `mouse_post_boot':
mouse.c:1924: parse error before `unsigned'
mouse.c:1931: `ptr' undeclared (first use in this function)
mouse.c:1931: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
mouse.c:1931: for each function it appears in.)
make[2]: *** [mouse.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/dos/dosemu-1.1.4/src/base/mouse'
make[1]: *** [base/mouse] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/dos/dosemu-1.1.4/src'
make: *** [default] Error 2

It's a known problem. Move "*us ptr;* above the preceding statement.
The construct using a declaration after an executable statement is
a C99 construct. If you don't use a C99 compliant compiler, you get this
error.

hm, thanxx now it works fine. But dosemu crashes without any error-message,
while running dos. The startscreen appears but after that, I'm back on console
and nothing happens.
