Dosemu error ` Charles Crawford @ ` Janina Sajka 0 siblings, 0 replies; 38+ messages in thread From: Janina Sajka @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup We weren't looking at the same conf file he's talking about. Check more closely. He's talking about a config file under $HOME/dosemu, which on your system would be /home/ccrawford/dosemu. I suspect it's worth putting the rpm back in to take a look in there. Easiest path and all that. Charles Crawford writes: > From: Charles Crawford <ccrawford@acb.org> > > Hi Greg, > > I wonder.

* Re: Help! Dosemu error ` Janina Sajka @ ` jude dashiell ` Janina Sajka 0 siblings, 1 reply; 38+ messages in thread From: jude dashiell @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup Before compiling did you run the do_patch script while in the dosemu directory? If you unpack the patchset file in your dosemu directory it builds the proper directory tree structure, then in the dosemu directory type tmp/do_patch and wait a couple seconds. Then you have a choice. edit compiletime-setings or edit compiletime-settings.devel and copy it over compiletime-settings. The .devel extension means if you use what's in that file you'll be running with experimental stuff turned on. Then ./configure; make; make install. if you copy dosemu-freedos-bin.tgz to /usr/share/dosemu before running dosemu from a user directory you should get a few messages then the c: prompt.On Sat, 3 May 2003, Janina Sajka wrote: > Date: Sat, 3 May 2003 14:16:53 -0400 > From: Janina Sajka <janina@rednote.net> > Reply-To: speakup@braille.uwo.ca > To: speakup@braille.uwo.ca > Subject: Re: Help!

I put the patch tar ball in the dosemu source tree and uncompressed it. It created the tmp/, and I ran the do-patch file that's in there. It gave no errors, but it also did not come back with anything about devel. That seems to be different. The ./configure went fine.

The advantage would be the special, application specific "set" files prepared for that venerable old DOS app. Of course, we might just be able to duplicate that kind of functionality with Speakup 2.x. As for the DOS setup ... I doubt it. If your host system doesn't know how to talk to the hardware device, how is it supposed to map calls from the guest OS?

Try writing a little program file and put the line: @ 5,5 say "Hello World!" in the program and then run the program?
