I used the homebrew Big Sur arm64 bottle for that as first I thought precompiled VDE would get used, similar to gmp and mpfr for arm64 builds. Okay, forget what I wrote … It dawns to me that I got it even wronger than I thought. The way gmp and mpfr were integrated when compiling got me on the wron...

Yes, that’s similar to what I did here: For arm64, I downloaded the Big Sur bottle from brew which is already compiled (instructions found at https://stackoverflow.com/a/69858397/11521718 ) and then linked it to /opt/homebrew: pkgname=vde_2.3.2_arm64_big_sur curl -L -H "Authorization: Bearer QQ...

I just tried different things. I am only able to compile the vde_test branch if I first delete the softlink at /opt/homebrew, open BasiliskII.xcodeproj in Xcode and select “Product –> Scheme –> Basilisk II” and “Product –> Destination –> My Mac”. I don’t edit the scheme which means its setting stays...

Thanks a lot @kanjitalk755! When trying to compile according to your instructions I get: /Users/mabam/Documents/macemu-test_vde/BasiliskII/src/Unix/ether_unix.cpp:90:10: fatal error: 'libvdeplug.h' file not found #include <libvdeplug.h> ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1 error generated.

Thank you, that makes things more clear!

Compiling with VDE should be a solution. Discussed here: viewtopic.php?p=72797#p72797 and here: viewtopic.php?p=72403#p72403.

How would I compile with VDE (discussed here: https://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10076 )? It seems I have to add “--with-vdeplug” but xcodebuild build -project BasiliskII.xcodeproj -configuration Release --with-vdeplug doesn’t work. I guess this switch is to be use with the configure ...

I was mistaken regarding the menu bar height, see here: https://github.com/zydeco/macemu/commit/93797ff488c794bf58dbb720b0db3de89fd8c924#commitcomment-61463795 . My intention was to use rootless Basilisk II as print server (though my banana pi based A2SERVER is still running fine). AppleTalk works b...

That is, I could print from the host via LPR using QEMU as a print server for my AppleTalk printer. I don't have such an elaborate setup, what would do to test access from the host into Basilisk? Best, Cat_7 Hmm, good question. You could actually setup the print server without a printer. It’s very ...

Best,

Now if I wouldn’t still be on Catalina, I’d definitely try it.

Thanks for testing! With your QEMU experimental build from 16-02-2021 (Qemu 6.0pre with vmnet support), I could connect to the emulated Mac OS from my host. That is, I could print from the host via LPR using QEMU as a print server for my AppleTalk printer. Running Basilisk II with etherhelper, Apple...

I’ve merged zydeco’s rootless code into present kanjitalk755 code: https://github.com/mabam/macemu/tree/rootless_updated . There’s also a binary: https://c.web.de/@337526389169198226/YiqlWrk6RTOdXaxP0sxWmw . (Also see this thread: https://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=72763#p72763 .) Onl...

etherhelper is working in my universal Catalina build, compiled from present kanjitalk755 code: viewtopic.php?p=72763#p72763

Thanks for following up on this! It's one of the myriad of things I haven't had time to look into. You’re welcome, but your initial post was mainly about using multiple network interfaces in SheepShaver: Lately I've been using VirtualBox with two network interfaces, and it got me to wondering: what...

Your build runs fine natively on my M1 iMac.

Thank you, that’s good to hear!

So as a work-around I renamed /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/ MacOSX10.15.sdk to MacOSX10.15.sdk.old in Finder and used its original name for a softlink to MacOSX11.1.sdk : Older versions of CommandLineTools are source of trouble. It's a good idea to select Xcode unless you really need ot...

I can’t test the arm64 part of the compilation as I don’t have access to an Apple Silicon Mac.

If you send a link in a PM, I can test it on my M1 iMac.

I just succeeded with a universal build. Googling the “could not find a working compiler …” error brought up https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/issues/3288 . This doesn’t seem to apply for gmp 6.2.1 or mpfr 4.1.0 and I wouldn’t know how to implement this anyway. But it made me realise t...

I’m trying again in a clean Catalina VM. I’ve installed Xcode 12.4 and its Command Line Tools. I’ve also installed homebrew. When I follow the instructions to install gmp-6.2.1 on https://github.com/kanjitalk755/macemu , after entering “CFLAGS="-arch arm64" CXXFLAGS="$CFLAGS" ./c...

I tried to build Basilisk II according to the section “Building BasiliskII and SheepShaver in OSX/macOS” at https://www.emaculation.com/doku.php/compiling_sheepshaver_basilisk . I didn’t succeed in creating a universal build using Xcode 12.4 and I don’t know whether that’s possible on Catalina at al...

I know that the tap device is the advised way to do it. But chances are that, with new versions of macOS, Apple completely disallowes kexts soon. And though etherhelper not being stable, if it does the job for AppleTalk (which is slow anyway) I’m completely fine. And its’s easy to use, too. For ever...

After downloading, I moved the zip file to the application folder, unzipped it there and moved the app into a new folder I created within the application folder. There I added the remaining files required to run Basilisk II from an older setup. Then I launched the May 2020 build just fine. I repeate...

This looks very interesting! I didn’t have time any sooner so I just tested this today. To begin with: My host machine runs Catalina. I first tried the 16 May 2020 built from https://www.emaculation.com/basilisk/BasiliskII_notarized_20200516.zip as that was reported working by @KnuddlMac. I entered ...

That’s good news – thank you and well done!

Are there also plans to add it to homebrew as a formula?

If performance is an issue, you might try Big Menu . We used it on a Quadra 950 with a 21" Radius CRT screen back then. From Mac User February 1988 (see p. 264 for screenshots): There is a shareware product called Big Menu that enlarges the menu bar (and its pull-down menus) to either 14- or 16...

That's an interesting idea, but wouldn't it mount automatically the partition at /Volumes/Documents when I plug the external SSD in? No, in step 4 of the link I provided it says: “Mount the volume, the mount point should show the path you specified.” And exactly that is the idea of the whole fstab ...
