After a discussion in a Synchronet support echo, I decided to give dosemu2 a look for my DOS-based BBS.
After using git to obtain the code for it and a couple of dependencies,
and apt installing a bunch of other dependencies, I have come to realize that dosemu2 maybe only works on 64-bit machines?
Since I am trying to run 16 and 32 bit programs, as are most folks running bbses and tryng to use dosemu2 to spawn doors, I am not real sure why a "64-bit Freedos kernel" should be necessary or even beneficial.

Git? Is there no pre-built dosemu2 package for your Linux distro?

You want to run a DOS BBS on a Linux box using dosemu2? That'd be an interesti
challenge.

WHich Linux Distro are you using?
Missing dependencies might also explain my issues with compiling it from git. The instructions say to check the dependency list file used for the packages but, if those lists are missing dependencies, using them can lead to compiles that don't work.

Unfortunately a lot of developers assume what packages they have, you also hav
It can be difficult to track down the correct dependencies. It's not impossib
, however. Just takes a bit of searching with apt-file to figure the package y
need for missing library or header files.
