A note:

For comcom64, /dev/shm has to be mounted with exec/ without noexec (mount -o remount,exec /dev/shm), otherwise DOSEMU will fail on this:
In the terminal where dosemu is launched: 

cannot dlopen /dev/shm/dosemu_COMMAND.COM: /dev/shm/dosemu_COMMAND.COM: failed to map segment from shared object

And in the DOSEMU window: 

Shell E:\command.com exited, press any key...

So for now only comcom32 seems to be compatible with dosemu2 out of the box, where comcom64 needs tweaking of mount parameters for /dev/shm.

Getting the following error when trying to compile:

==> Starting prepare()...
sed: can't read 32/makefile: No such file or directory

Seems there are two occurrences of 32 that need to be replaced with src/32.

After doing that, there's one more issue: comcom64-git ends up packaging the 32-bit comcom too, and therefore conflicting with comcom32-git, so the PKGBUILD definitely needs some more changes.

Edit: To fix the file conflict, it seems it's sufficient to change the make -j1 PREFIX=/usr DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install in package_64() to make -j1 PREFIX=/usr DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install_64

A new build of dj64-git should provide go64.h.

Compilation is failing when including a file that does not appear to be in the repo:

Problem building:

./link.sh: line 24: djlink: command not found.

/usr/bin/djlink is part of the package djstub.

If was only a makdependency for x86_64 architecture, now it is for i686 as well.

Does this solve your issue, @patlefort?
(Please install all make dependencies before building.)

Regards!

comcom64-git running fine here.

I got all the packages built.

Wow. Great. Thanks.

So I now have enabled to build comcom64-git, too.

I got all the packages built. makedepends+=('dj64'). Edit: nope! makedepends+=('dj64' 'thunk_gen' 'djstub')

Note that build of 64bit-variant currently is disabled (to enable, set _build_64=true at the top of the PKGBUILD) due to unknown source of the required dj64-gcc to build it; see also ↗ here.

If anyone knows where to obtain it or how to build the 64bit variant otherwise, please leave a comment.
