Below is the dosemu I'm using. If you want to use WP 5.1, don't miss

INSTALL
-------

An easy way to get DOSEMU working on your machine is to use
the ready-to-use DOSEMU binary distribution. This one comes in 2
packages
from www.dosemu.org:

- dosemu-freedos-<version>-bin.tgz

A tarball containing a collection of suitable FreeDos binaries,
eventually patched to fit DOSEMU needs, together with some GNU
tools you may find useful.

- dosemu-<version>-bin.tgz

A tarball containing the recent DOSEMU binaries together with a
user local configuration setup.

This installation fits into any user HOME directory and can be used
and installed without root permissions.
You have to unpack _both_ tarballs (as a normal user, NOT as root) into
the same directory (regardless what ever) within your HOME, such as:

This message is harmless, AFAIK it does not mean anything.

Now we are getting somewhere. It seems that you do not have some
development libraries installed (necessary for compiling dosemu
from source).

Please do

apt-get install xorg-dev
apt-get install libslang2-dev

and try to compile again. If there are any other errors, please
tell about it on the list (in other words, don't say "it does not
work", but tell what the error messages are). You sent a personal
email to me twice; this is of course OK, but please, use a valid
return address next time if you want an answer.

Regards, Jan

I still don't see why he just can't/won't/shouldn't install the
Debian packages from contrib...

I don't either. It must be more convenient than compiling from source.
If you don't have any ethical objection to using the dosemu source, why
would you have any ethical objection to using "contrib" in Debian?

Hmm. I'm running 2.6.18 now (self-compiled) and dosemu works, as far as
I can tell. I don't use it much, but it is versino 1.2.2 and apart from
the vga font thing it doesn't seem to have any trouble (not that I have
done any extensive testing) but I managed to get 4dos to run, if that's
anything.
