This renders the application unusable until the user untars it or uses a different version of DOS. To manually fix, as root do 1) cd /usr/share/dosemu 2) tar --strip-path 1 -xzvf dosemu-freedos-bintgz then dosemu will load correctly. In the Ebuild file, the configure option specifically inhibits automatic installation of the freedos tarball. src_compile() { local myflags="--with-fdtarball=none --sysconfdir=/etc/dosemu/ \ --with-mandir=/usr/share/man/" Having --with-fdtarball=none is the culprit here! This option can be removed. JM2C Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge app-emulation/dosemu-1.2.2-r1 2. try dosemu or xdosemu Actual Results: program abends -- "unable to find /usr/share/freedos/dosemu/kernel.sys" which is packaged in the freedos tarball. Expected Results: DOS terminal or xwindow appears Seems this configure option was added to the r1 release. I'm labelling this as an enhancement since --with-fdtarball is a valid configure option and there could be a reason for using it. However, for many users, they would expect freedos to be installed. hanno@gentoo.org 2005-02-13 11:37:23 0000 Fixed, thanks. Didn't bump the revision (not really important for ALL people to recompile and it's still ~x86).
