Okay, my previous dosemu issues gone (thank you, list and IRC
helpers!), I tried to move things to a new machine. When trying to
build dosemu, I got a failure. The most obvious symptom (ie, what was
visible at the end of the build) was trouble compiling int.c:
gcc -c -MP -MMD -I../../../src/include -I../../../src/plugin/include -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Wno-unused-result
-fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -o int.o int.c
int.c: In function 'dos_helper':
"int.c", line 211:26: error: invalid type argument of unary '*' (have 'int')
LWORD(ebx) = VERSION * 0x100 + SUBLEVEL; /* major version 0.49 -> 0049 */
^
(plus some more cascading error messages).
This made it look to me as though VERSION was defined as an empty
string (I don't see how that * is unary otherwise). It also created a
directory named ... whereas the working one created a similar directory
named 1.4.0.8, which looks to me as though all four parts of the
version number came out zero-length somehow - which matches well with
VERSION being an empty string.
So I did a build capturing the output and diffed it against a log of a
successful build on the other machine. A few not-entirely-surprising
differences, but then it went wonky. Here's the beginning of the diff:

...followed by the rest of "set" output in some sh-derivative shell,
presumably bash. It went downhill from there. I have the full
logfiles, of course, and can make them available if that would help.
This was with a fresh checkout from the same git commit that worked
fine on the other machine, so I have little doubt that the starting
source trees are the same. (It's commit
400b188991411f34e8df5d7eff3d184b4e358d8c in the tree I mentioned last
time around. git://git.rodents-montreal.org/Mouse/dosemu/.)
Both machines are running Linux - I'm told the working machine is
Ubuntu 12 and the failing one is Mint 18, though I don't know either
enough to be sure what that means (I'm not familiar with the
differences among the various flavours of Linux).
I'm wondering if this is something I've done wrong, something wrong in
dosemu, something wrong in the failing system, or what. I'd welcome
any thoughts anyone would care to share.
