The way that `make install` tries to explain (at least that's how I understood it from Hans Lermen) is that you first download a binary dosemu (1.0.2.1, that is) and freedos, unpack it into your home directory and get that running. Then if you want to compile dosemu from source, after compilation you just copy your dosemu.bin and dosdebug to ~/dosemu/bin and your global.conf to ~/dosemu/conf. I would like to get 'make install' working again, but I'll need to be careful where to put files. Another strategy now is to use the install_systemwide script, which was really aimed at distributors, but then some major distro's don't ship dosemu anymore. You might want to check out http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=5955 for a strategy that uses install_systemwide.
