Re: [Freedos-user] Ré : djgpp bash and autoconf for dos, new gcc
The file format used by packages is described at: http://wiki.freedos.org/wiki/index.php/Package The packages are mostly developed at: https://gitlab.com/FreeDOS But when you download them as zip from Gitlab, they are not in a format described in the Package link given. That's where the perl script I am writing is supposed to help translate the zip downloaded from Gitlab to a package understood by FreeDOS. I did not publish it yet... but expect to publish something in next 24h. I am not sure... but I would guess fdimples... use the command line fdnpkg: http://fdnpkg.sourceforge.net/ I think when launched without parameters, it give help... or then with /? ... I don't clearly remember.___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
Re: [Freedos-user] Ré : djgpp bash and autoconf for dos, new gcc
Hello Paul, I'd like to know more about the packaging system. It seems very interesting, and useful. What paths does it use? Does it create bat files? Does it have online repositories? Something like apt, pacman, yum to install/remove packages would be very handy, combined with online repos. I know about fdimples and I like it very much but it's GUI only AFAIK and only works with a small set of packages from the livecd iso.

[Freedos-user] djgpp bash and autoconf for dos, new gcc
Hi! As Paul has asked for a DOS version of BASH, http://www.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/ has version 4.2 of that. The zip unfortunately is called BSH... because the website unnecessarily limits itself to 8.3 names. Note that ACNF... in the same directory is autoconf :-) In related news, as Rugxulo mentioned two weeks ago on BTTR, there now is GCC 12.2 for DJGPP: You can find it in the same directory :-) Regards, Eric PS: Japheth mentioned on BTTR that QEMU 6.2.0 has better sound and keyboard for him, with -global i8042.kbd-throttle=on as mentioned on https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1897568 the fix only took 15 years :-p ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

Hmmm, I just re-verified PGME version 8/21/22 under VirtualBox, running MS-DOS 6.22 with its MS-MOUSE Driver v8.2. Please verify, you are running the latest version of PGME. Under the default theme, the Version is displayed in the upper right of the main window. Depending on how you installed the latest version, it is possible there are two copies (old and new) of PGME on your drive. If this does not remedy the issue you are experiencing, there are a couple other things to look at to find out what may be going on. ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
