1.1.5 compile and xdosemu

1.1.5 compile and xdosemu

[Ralph Alvy]

I compiled and installed 1.1.5 and find that this process fails to 
produce an xdosemu executable. Tried it twice and only got the dosemu 
exectuable. Is that normal behaviour, even though I am using the default 
config settings files (which has X on)? Should I just copy my copy of 
xdosemu from my 1.0.2.1 installation into the /usr/local/bin?

of course not, they're different versions.  Didn;t you see the xdosemu 
file?  it's a symbolic link to dosemu.bin

no it's a symbolic link to "dosemu". Make install should produce
something like the following:
ls -l  /usr/local/bin/dos* /usr/local/bin/xdos*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        27698 Jun 29 11:41 /usr/local/bin/dosdebug
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        10339 Jun 29 11:41 /usr/local/bin/dosemu
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root      3827798 Jun 29 11:41 /usr/local/bin/dosemu.bin
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            6 Jun 29 11:41 /usr/local/bin/xdosemu -> dosemu

xdosemu is an alias for "dosemu -X".

right, you probably didn't install the X development libraries -- your
distribution should have them, look for the xlibs-dev or xlibs-devel
package or similar. You can see that if you run
./configure
and look at the warnings it tell you about at the end.

Thanks for taking the time on all this, Bart. I'm obviously not a 
sophisticated Linux or dosemu user. That said, I now have 1.1.5 working 
with xdosemu. But I find that a certain setting that allows one of my 
apps to work under 1.0.2.1 is missing from dosemu.conf. That's the 
$_kbint setting. I had to set that to off in 1.0.2.1 to allow a 
particular app to work properly. I think I can work around this, but was 
wondering if this setting is going to return in a future version of 
dosemu.conf.

DOSEMU always had a bit of a reputation that it was difficult to set up
and I'm trying to make that a little easier -- so this kind of feedback
always helps (to see where the rough edges are).

keybint is always "on" now. It should be, because it is also always on in
a real mode PC too.
