Compilation problems with dosemu 1.2.2

Compilation problems with dosemu 1.2.2

[Bernhard Bialas]

Hello,
when I try to compile the dosemu 1.2.2 I get the following error message:
*********************************************************************************
bernhard@linux:/usr/local/dosemu-1.2.2> make
autoreconf
Can't exec "aclocal": Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden 
at /usr/bin/autoreconf line 174.

174.

at /usr/share/autoco             nf/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm line 288, <GEN0> 
line 832.
autoreconf: failed to run aclocal: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
make: *** [configure] Fehler 1
bernhard@linux:/usr/local/dosemu-1.2.2>
************************************************************************************
The translation for "Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden" in the a.m. 
message is: "File or directory not found"

My system is: 
- distribution: SuSE Linux 9.1
- Kernel 2.6.4 (patched by SuSE)
- gcc 3.3.3

The strange thing is, that I can compile the Dosemu 1.3.1.


Best regards

there's a timestamp problem. Please do
touch configure
and run make again.
I'll fix it in dosemu-1.2.2.tgz

You probably don't have automake installed.
If you insist on not installing automake, I
think doing:

touch ./configure

before executing "make" will solve the problem.

thank you for the help.
After installation of automake and then directly make: it works !
But like I did before, at first ./configure and then make: it does not work 
and brings only the reported error mesage.
Anyway: in the time between I have discovered that I have a wrong kernel 
(2.6.4) and dpmi programs do not work. And under root account nothing goes.
I see, I have to upgrade :(

Thanks again and best regards
