dosemu-1.4.0-11.2053svn on Fedora 15 x86 won't start

[Lars Bjørndal]

If I run dosemu.bin, nothing happens, until I press ctrl-c to abort.
This happened after upgrading to Fedora 15. How to fix?

Thanks,
Lars

Can You supply some details? E.g.:
- Your distro is Fedora for Aplha? Sparc? Arm? i386? x86_64?
- Which dosemu version You use?
- You take dosemu from some internet sources or compile it himself?
- You run dosemu in console or under X?
- With which switches You run dosemu.bin?
- For which reason You not run dosemu wrapper?
- Which is Your global and user dosemu configurafions file(s)?

It's not created. Nor is there any output in the .dosemu/run directory.

Just to add: I run the kernel 2.6.40.4-5.fc15.i686.PAE, and the GCC, if
that does matter, is gcc-4.6.1-9.fc15.i686.

I think I fixed the problem in SVN 2058. It's up to Justin Zygmont now
to produce new RPMFusion binaries.

SVN 2058 works for me. But, maybe it is curious, as I wrote before,
self-compiled svn 2055 and 2053 are working for me too. And when I
was now installed dosemu-1.4.0-11.2053svn.fc15.i686.rpm from rpmfusion,
it hangs as Lars was describing.

This is normal: dosemu uses some attribute((constructor)) functions
that get called before main. The order isn't known (for newer GCCs you
can set priorities but they are not used). Somehow the RPMFusion build
ended up with an order that triggered the bug (that has, in principle
been present in dosemu for many years), a linked-list where an element
referenced itself, and so walking it caused the hang.

Now, after running 'yum update dosemu', I have
dosemu-1.4.0-12.2058svn.fc15.i686, and it works nicely. Thanks a lot!

i386.

> - Which dosemu version You use?

A precompiled version: 'rpm -q dosemu' gives:
dosemu-1.4.0-11.2053svn.fc15.i686

'rpm -qi dosemu', some output:

Source RPM  : dosemu-1.4.0-11.2053svn.fc15.src.rpm

The package is installed from the rpmfusion repository.

> - You run dosemu in console or under X?

Under console.

> - With which switches You run dosemu.bin?

--help (just to try)

> - For which reason You not run dosemu wrapper?

Just to isolate the problem.

> - Which is Your global and user dosemu configurafions file(s)?

I think that's irrelevant, since the program won't startup at all.

Hope this helps.
