It's very confusing because there's so much of it that's out of date and inconsistent. It doesn't need to be completely rewritten but if you put some up-to-date instructions in a file called INSTALL then people who are used to doing ./configure make make install will be more much comfortable. The build scripts seem to be very fragile, I changed the directories in the compiletime-options and although everything was supposed to be in my home directory the make install failed with permission problems unless I was root. It asked me if it was OK to use /home/ged/dosemu and I said no, use /home/ged/src/dosemu and it said OK, then I'll use /home/ged/src/dosemu/dosemu so I tried to stop that. The script then had trouble because it had created ~/.dosemu but hadn't done other stuff that was needed. When finally I got it figured out it failed again because the symlinks in /usr/local/share/dosemu/freedos/dosemu already existed. I had to keep doing rm -rf on a few directories to get a build I was happy with. It grumbled about not having freedos even though I'd set 'fdtarball none' in the compiletime-settings. Having said that once it did compile (2.4.19) it started and ran quite a few things fine, but the attached pager (LIST.COM) crashes dosemu very reliably under X on my system. HTH 73, Ged.
