Hi,

New builds of SheepShaver and BasiliskII for Linux are now available as appimage packages from https://github.com/Korkman/macemu-appim ... r/releases

Use them with our new guide (in progress) here: https://www.emaculation.com/doku.php/sh ... skii_linux

Best,

But now for the 1 million dollar question: does it work?
(btw: I also did some work on the wiki)

It is working, but your build is crashing quite a lot. The older packages I used were stable, but I'm not getting that here. Crashes are very, very frequent.

For example, clicking the "Special" menu in my the mac os menu bar brings down the emulator every time.

Perhaps you should leave the mouse along while Mac OS is starting. I believe that might be an SDL problem. I will try to build some version with the latest SDL later. The version I used now is the standard Ubuntu version.
I also have a version for X, but that doesn't do full-screen and starts at a preset low resolution like all old X versions do. But it is more stable.

Have you had any luck with the sheep_net driver? Can you get it installed following the wiki?

I get this message:

chown: changing ownership of `/dev/sheep_net': Operation not permitted

An update: Cat, your build is only crashy when I run in a window. In fullscreen mode it seems just fine!

It should be "sudo chown username /dev/sheep_net"

Notes:

1. I have to enter "sudo sysctl -w vm.mmap_min_addr=0" upon every reboot of my system. This is the case with either build. Is there anything i can do to make this permanent?

2. On your new build, I don't get the "“Cannot map Low Memory Globals: Operation not permitted.” error message. it just fails to launch.

3. The full-screen mode is more stable than windowed, but the mouse is unresponsive enough to be almost un-useable. It is still smooth in the windowed mode.

1. Edit your /etc/sysctl.conf file and add "vm.mmap_min_addr=0" inside

Does nothing

Hello Cat7,
lots of thanks for your Linux version.
As for me, your release does just nothing on my Suse_Linux64 and EeeBuntu3.0 host systems.
Your old version works fine, but no fullscreen.
What a pity!

Hi,

Have you got the SDL libraries installed? The older versions don't use these, and (to me) it looks like the libraries were not statically linked even though I set that at compile-time.

SDL 1.2

Hi Cat7,
libSDL-1.2 is installed. Is this the correct package?
The file is libSDL-1.2.so.0.11.2, at usr/lib64.
Bye!

Yes, that should be OK.

I guess somehow the build process is a bit broken.

Cat_7... I'll replace the builds in the guide with links only to your builds. I think that with both of the builds you provide, and the tip to fix the refresh rate, the old 2006 packages are not necessary anymore.

Sheepshaver successfully running on Fedora 12 or Fedora 13?

Has anyone been able to run sheepshaver successfully under either of these Fedora Core versions?

I have tried all of the fixes suggested (changing sysctl.conf, etc) and it still gets the low memory error. I try to run Sheepshaver from the root-level command line and it also fails.

Good to see SheepShaver is alive on Linux. Still running the patched SheepShaver V2.3-Pre (Dec 15 2009) by Christian Bauer and Mar"c" Hellwig which seems a lot more stable on Ubuntu Maverick than Lucid. Fired it up tonight to open some old mac format data files and it works like a charm, but I'm sure it will probably crash if I try to run anything more than basic software like MS Word.

Just a question, is this new code, or is the 2006 code simply being repackaged?

Any changelogs or code available via Git?

Hi,

There is a cvs. You can view it through these links:
http://www.cebix.net/viewcvs/cebix/BasiliskII/src/
http://www.cebix.net/viewcvs/cebix/SheepShaver/src/

And a developer mailing list over here:
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/lis ... lisk-devel

I added a note about how to edit the sysctl.conf file that was sent in to me. Might make the guide easier to follow for new users.

Meanwhile, please let me know if there is any value to including a reference to the new linux package that was just posted to the forum.

Is there any way you could compile this for CentOS 5.5 x86_64? Even a SRPM would be cool to have. I've had trouble in the past compiling SS on Linux.

Hi,

Building for yet another specific Linux version is a bit troublesome for me, as I already run 5 different 32 linux flavours in VMWare on my Windows machine.

EDIT: a version for CentOS x64 without JIT functionality is available in the top posting.

There are packages for CentOS (also 64 bit) but from the older official source. Perhaps you can see if you can get by with one of them:

Here's a build from CVS, built on May 09, 2011. It is a 32-bit Debian package for Ubuntu and Debian. Sometimes I find the CVS builds break a lot, but I do know this build works, and surprisingly good!

http://ompldr.org/vOG1sdg/sheepshaver_2 ... 5_i386.deb (please mirror this!)

I'm using Lubuntu 11.10 x86_64

"SheepShaver_03_09_2010_SDL_static" doesn't launch when executed.

"SheepShaver_03-09_2010_NOSDL" does work.

The "vm.mmap_min_addr =" line is found in "/etc/sysctl.d/10-zeropage.conf".

Hi! How do we run/install the "SheepShaver_03_09_2010_SDL_static" file? Its not a .deb or installer file.

It is an executable, so it should just run.

If it doesn't run try the second one linked above:

http://www.open.ou.nl/hsp/downloads/She ... SDL.tar.gz

On my system (Ubuntu 10.10) the build you linked to doesn't launch (not sure why), but the above does.
