Re: [fuse-emulator-devel] cannot format single side TRDOS disk

[Cygnus <cy...@po...>]

I tried latest release in combination:

fuse-utils-1.4.3
fuse-1.6.0
libspectrum-1.5.0

But it was total fail. I compiled and installed libspectrum first as 
usual and then i tried configure fuse emulator, but configure script was 
never able found libspectrum, i ended with

checking for LIBSPECTRUM... no
configure: error: Package requirements (libspectrum >= 1.5.0) were not met:

No package 'libspectrum' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Parameter --prefix=/opt/fuse instead default path /usr/local did not 
help. (Of course i used same path for all packages, especially 
libspectrum and emulator).

So for now i am back to version 1.5.7.

Maybe later i will try it again on another computer with different 
Linux. I am sorry, but i am not able diagnose it better.

Yes after the '90 (i think mainly the russian clones) uses "normal" PC-AT 3.5" floppy drives (2 headed) with "double sided" disks. But "douple sided" disks (or even "flippies") can be used in "single headed" drives too (as Alan wrote).
