Very Computer

 I am having a problem compiling DOSEMU 0.60.3.  Everything is fine until it
tries to compile libdosemu.  Here's the error message I get:

gcc      -Ttext 0x20000000 -o libdosemu-0.60.3 \
   -nostdlib emu.o data.o -Llib -L.  \
    -lvideo -ldosemu -lpic -ldpmi -lmfs -linit -lserial -lkeyboard
-lmouse -lnet
 -ldrivers bios/bios.o -L/lib -lX11 -u _XOpenDisplay -lslang -lc
gcc: 0x20000000: No such file or directory              

 It appears that gcc is mistaking the hex address of the text segment as
an input file name.  I have tried removing the -Ttext option, but then I
get errors about undefined symbols  
 From what I can tell, all this is doing is creating a library by calling
ld and letting it do the work.  So, I tried the following, it didn't work
either:

ld -Ttext 0x20000000 -o libdosemu-0.60.3 -nostdlib emu.o
data.o -Llib -L. -lvideo -ldosemu -lpic -ldpmi -lmfs -linit -lserial
-lkeyboard
-lmouse -lnet -ldrivers bios/bios.o -L/lib -lX11 -u _XOpendDisplay
-lslang -lc

ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 20000000
stdlib: Not enough room for program headers (allocated 5, need 6)
ld: final link failed: Bad value    

 I have tried both gcc 2.7.0 and 2.7.2.  
 Can anyone suggest a solution to my problem?  I would greatly appreiciate it...

At the time 0.60.3 was actual, a.out was standard. You probably use ELF (why
don't you tell us?) Get 0.64.0. It should compile out of the box.

Hi,

I very much suffered the same problem, and it took me quite some trials
to get any further. Meanwhile I think this is a configure related problem.
I inserted the statement "ELF=yes" into the toplevel makefile, and this
was a beginning.
Now the compilation went past linkage of libdosemu, but complained about
some missing symbols for keyboard.o and something else (I forgot).
A bit of searching revealed these symbols in lib/libarch_linux_slang.a
(with leading underscores) and (without the underscores :=O ) in
lib/libarch_linux_slang-elf.a .
So I grepped all my Makefiles to replace references to this a.out lib
....slang.a with references to its ELF counterpart ....slang-elf.a .

                        BINGO!

Of course, I uttered "make clean"'s between compilations, but certainly
no "./configure"'s . With this present status, I am further than I was,
but my binary still is flakey: As soon as I try running it from the
console, I get a fatal misbehaviour, connected to the following messages:

ERROR: cpu exception in dosemu code outside of VM86()!
trapno: 0x0d  errorcode: 0x00000000  cr2: 0x00000000
eip: 0x08062f01  esp: 0xbffffb1c  eflags: 0x00010202
cs: 0x0023  ds: 0x002b  es: 0x002b  ss: 0x002b
General protection exception
GDT selector: 0x0000
Exception was caused by DOSEMU

I don't get this if I run dosemu over a serial terminal or through Xfree,
so this may very well be connected to a modified compliance with my
Mach32 graphics card. (The same dosemu.conf used to work perfectly well
with dosemu-0.60.3 under linux-1.2.13.)

I still hope this might help somebody

Hopefully

dosemu 0.64.0.x handles at least this ELF thing for you.

Get something recent from tsx-11.mit.edu:oub/linux/ALPHA/dosemu/Development
or a mirror.
