Ahoj,

namcap shows me some missing dependencies: 

dosemu2-git E: Dependency libseccomp detected and not included (libraries ['usr/lib/libseccomp.so.2'] needed in files ['usr/lib/dosemu/libplugin_dremote.so'])
dosemu2-git E: Dependency sdl2_ttf detected and not included (libraries ['usr/lib/libSDL2_ttf-2.0.so.0'] needed in files ['usr/lib/dosemu/libplugin_sdl.so'])

Regards!

Upstream source files seem to have changed; validation with md5sums fails on gnu_tut111ax.zip:

<h1>error wrong djdev64 version</h1>

Build the latest version of djstub-git and dj64-git. Read comcom PKGBUILD for full build order.

Package now requires make dependency libsearpc

I now get the following error:

==> Entering fakeroot environment...
==> ERROR: pkgver in provides is not allowed to be empty.
==> ERROR: pkgver in provides is not allowed to be empty.

Turns out that _pkgver="${pkgver%%[a-z]*}" is empty, since pkgver() returns 

dosemu2.2.0pre9.2.r44.g278d1c7dc

Maybe you need to add a sed -E 's|^dosemu[0-9]*\.||' to pkgver() to strip off the leading dosemu2..

Regards!

I now also think that the COMMAND.COM/ comcom32/ comcom64/ freecom etc. should be a dependency of dosemu2, not of fdpp:

When I launch dosemu without any command.com automatically found, it says 

ERROR: Neither freecom nor comcom32 installation found.
Use DOSEMU2_EXTRAS_DIR env var to specify location of freedos
or DOSEMU2_COMCOM_DIR env var for alternative location of comcom32

And when I manually set DOSEMU2_COMCOM_DIR=/usr/share/comcom64 it fails with ERROR: comcom64 support not compiled in.

When I recompile dosemu2-git after having installed comcom64 this issue goes away (another, unrelated, issue pops up).

For me it clearly is a DOSEMU2 thing relevant here for the interpreter, not a fdpp thing.

Hm.?

Regards!

I fixed the mirrors. ftp.sun.ac.za is too slow for me so I set mirror.math.princeton.edu for most of them.

return 1 does not show the line number and that's what I need to diagnose errors. I could use ${LINENO} but that would turn a single line into a multi line statement, larger and less readable. echo "${}" is a single statement that does everything I want.

Do the dosemu2 install routines sometimes install stuff into $DESTDIR/usr/local/

I put those tests in at the beginning so I know if an option is wrong. No reason to take them out. I haven't seen a /usr/local error in a long time but it happened to you so it must be possible.

Regarding this issue:

Using
https://mirror.math.princeton.edu/pub/freeDOS/gnuish instead of
https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/gnuish
solves it for gnu_diff23x.zip and gnu_fut312bx.zip, but gnu_tut111ax.zip then gives me a HTTP error 403.

https://ftp.sun.ac.za/ftp/pub/mirrors/freedos/gnuish seems to work.
