SS on Xubuntu 12.04 Segmentation fault (core dump)

Post by thehyperone »

I had to reinstall Xubuntu 12.04 on my HP Compaq 6910p after I hosed the previous install beyond repair. Now, I can't seem to get SheepShaver to run. I can get to the config screen but when I hit Start, SS exits with the message Segmentation fault (core dump) in the Terminal. I've tried all the precompiled binaries online for Xubuntu and none of them will run, either. Here's what I've done to get it to this point.

$ sudo apt-get install git
$ git clone https://github.com/cebix/macemu.git
$ cd macemu/SheepShaver
$ make links
$ cd /src/Unix
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf
$ sudo apt-get install checkinstall
$ sudo apt-get install libx11-dev libesd0-dev libgtk2.0-dev
$ ./autogen.sh
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo pico /etc/sysctl.conf Add line vm.mmap_min_addr = 0
$ sudo sysctl -w vm.mmap_min_addr=0

I'm a linux noob, so I'll need fairly specific instructions. Thanks.

There's a known bug with SheepShaver and recent versions of GCC. Try compiling with GCC 4.5:

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt-get install g++-4.5
$ CC=gcc-4.5 CXX=g++-4.5 ./configure ...
$ make
etc
