Re: Compiling elks-emu!

[Robert de Bath <http://www.mayday.compulink.co.uk/~robert>]

To fix this you have to either get a more recent version of libc or change
line 5 of /usr/include/sys/vm86.h to read:

#include <asm/vm86.h>

The problem is caused by a mismatch between the version of linux C library
and the version of the linux kernel that you have on your system.

There is a work around in that you can cd into the elksemu directory and
type make there. This uses a different set of 'CFLAGS=' that includes a
nasty little hack to bypass the problem.
