Compilation options used in the binary distribution

Compilation options used in the binary distribution

[Javier Tarifa]

I'd like to know exactly how was compiled the binary distribution that 
you get when you download dosemu-1.4.0-bin.tgz.
I've done a little change to the terminal code and when I a run a 
program with my own compiled version, the program dies saying something 
about too many users when I have more than one dosemu running it. But 
when I use the binary distribution this doesn't happen, I can have 
multiple dosemus using it without problems.
Can someone help me?

You want run multiple dosemus under one user account? Then maybe will
be usefull start individual instances with unique "-o logfile" log file
specification (instead of default "~/.dosemu/boot.log"). Or You can
specify log/debug filespec in individual .dosemurc files with option
"$_debugout = "filespec".

Although I use and have dosemu 1.4 compiled for several Fedora distributions,
and it works fine when simultaneously run couple of them from one user,
even without specifying different boot.log file - they all use implicit
one (lsof says)(it's smut way, but dosemus curiously works)

You can too look for my build options in RPM .spec files at:

Ok, I finally got it. For some strange reason, changing target_bits from 
auto to 32 in the file compiletime-settings solved the problem (this was 
on a 64 bits fedora)
