I also have problems running the demos, both in Win95 and in DOS 6.22.
Most of them most of the times exits with a stack trace consisting of
only one level backtrace. But sometimes some of them runs. This means
that if I start some of them 20 times in succession then in one try they
run without any errors, but most of the time they just quit with a
segmentation error.
I was able to compile them with DJGPP 2 without any problem, simply
running make.
I have tried the following combinations so far:
Pentium 100 Mhz system, w. 40 Mbytes RAM, 2 GBytes Quantum IDE drive
(free space about 300 Mbytes),
2 Mbytes Trio64 video card
- Under Win95 in a DOS window
- under plain DOS 6.22 with Himem only and with QEMM (but no qdpmi)
A DX266 system with 16 Mbytes memory, 340 Mbytes HD, Trident 8900 CL
video card
- Under Win95 in a DOS window
- under plain DOS 6.22 with Himem only and with QEMM (but no qdpmi)
I found that the programs stop in 'allegro_init'.
Oh, I just see, that perhaps the problem is not with Allegro itself, but
with the 'palantir' event library of Dim Zegebart, as I have
incorporated it in allegro before the make. I will re-make Allegro again
without it, and come back with he results.
