• EleBBS/Linux and dosemu2...

    From Shurato@1337:3/185 to All on Tue Jul 23 00:44:00 2024
    Has anyone been able to get the 2012 Build of Ele/Linux to run dosemu2? I
    get a screen full of errors on my terminal that points to Ele source code. I could post a link to a screen capture if anyone thinks that would help.
    I'm mostly wondering if anyone has had any luck with this abomination... I'm trying to switch from Windows to Linux and it's not going very smoothly so
    far. I've got all of the built-in features working like questionaires and txtfiles, but not the one executable I've tried so far. I'm using fully qualified pathnames and dosemu2 starts up, but when the dos program is
    supposed to run I get the errors, which probably wouldn't help anyone who wasn't willing to look at the EleBBS source.

    Sure post a link that's fine, I will offer one in exchange =)

    The link I just gave, although aimed at enigma1/2 BBSes, you can pick out useful info there, which is how I managed to get Gutterbowl running in Mystic a















    few years ago. I don't know if DOSEMU would be better than DOSEMU2 in this scenario, YMMV.

    $_com1 = "virtual"

    Breaks dosemu2 for me. I think I need it, but if that line is included in .dosemurc it locks up. Any alternatives? Is anyone using the latest build
    of dosemu2?

    I don't need a link, icy_term showed the error much better than any other
    term program:

    An unhandled exception occurred at $08159CF6 :
    ERangeError : Range check error

    Ok, even trying to run linux executables gets this error. I need to find a
    way to compile the source... I get tons of errors when using the supplied script to compile with free pascal and never end up with any executables.
