Hello all,
I think before releasing 1.4.1 I should bump up this:
-> REQUIREMENTS for DOSEMU:
- egcs >= 2.91.66 (1.1.2) / gcc >= 2.95.2
- glibc >= 2.1.3
- Linux >= 2.0.30, 2.x.y >= 2.1.27 (>= 2.4.20 recommended)
2.6 kernels <= 2.6.5 can be problematic
this was last changed in 2003 to correspond to RHEL 6.2 (released
March 2000, with kernel 2.2.14). This combination certainly doesn't
work anymore, with clock_gettime() instead of gettimeofday() and some
C99 code.
I can bump to kernel 2.6.9/glibc 2.3.4/gcc 3.4 (RHEL4). RHEL4,
released February 2005 is on "Extended Life Cycle Support (ELS)", for
customers that pay RH extra. I'm not sure why anyone would want to run
a new dosemu on an old RHEL4 server but it just happens to be the
oldest one still receiving some support (until Feb 2015).
The next enterprise distro still in use is SLES10 (Jul 2006), kernel
2.6.16.xx, gcc 4.1, glibc 2.4. There is no code in dosemu that (via
configure or runtime checks) depends on anything newer than kernel
2.6.15, or gcc 3.4.
