[Slackbuilds-users] dosemu.SlackBuild trouble - widening the audience

[Yalla One]

All,

In trying to build a viable SlackBuild for dosemu, I've run into a few
problems. The latest developer version which dosemu.org encourages is 1.3.4
and compiles well. The latest stable version (which is ancient) is 1.2.2 and

doesn't even compile.

The problem is post-installation, and probably has more to do with the
dosemu
install system than with my slackbuild, but the net result is anyway that
the
final dosemu installation is useless.

Before anyone with a helping hand points towards dosbox, my impression is
that
dosbox is geared towards gaming, while dosemu is more for ancient dos
applications for production use, and also comes with good printing support
(which is required by most non-gaming DOS applications).

In order for the slackbuild to work you need both dosemu v1.3.4 which is
located here:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/dosemu/dosemu-1.3.4.tgz?download

and the dosemu-freedos package which is located here:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/dosemu/dosemu-freedos-b9r5a-bin.tgz?download
(needs to be renamed dosemu-freedos-bin.tgz)

The script I've done follows:
