 Hello world!
 
3. metacheck.at:38: 3. dosemu (metacheck.at:38): FAILED (metacheck.at:41)

Good logging! :)

Configure doesn't seem to understand your new options
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-fdpp-lib-dir, --with-fdpp-include-dir, --with-fdpp-pkgconf-dir

[andrewbird]

So it's probably falling back to default locations. On your local system, if you have fdpp-dev package installed, it's probably using that instead.

[stsp]

No, that's just a warning.
It doesn't understand them indeed,
but they are consumed by the sub-configures
in a plugin dirs.
I still don't know why all the hell broke,
but I think the remaining tests are now
recovered too. Though its quite annoying
to suddenly have to recover every test
one-by-one.

E.g. coopth started to crash: 3427ffa
Hell knows why, I haven't touched it
for ages.
Alternative kernel locations have never
actually being probed:
dosemu2/dosemu2@f3dd2fe
And so on.
Very strange.

[stsp]

OK, tests finally passed.
After 4 patches to dosemu2 and
4 to fdpp...
🔢

And one more interesting thing:
in dosemu2 repo, nothing ever failed!
All failures started to happen only here.

It looks like dosemu2/dosemu2@60898a8 changed it to use a standard FDPP installation directory.
