BasiliskII for Linux

[Dagobertus]

i figure that something isn't working with the segmentation fault switch. Because many of those crashes I am experiencing don't happen once I reduce the RAM size drastically (even so I got 6GB of RAM to spare on the host).

This is what I put in the the prefs file:

ignoresegv true

Either the syntax is wrong or the compiled binary won't adhere to that setting. How can I verify that?

[adespoton]

What ROM, OS and RAM configuration are you using? Is it possible that you were attempting to provide more RAM than the ROM and OS can address?

[Ronald P. Regensburg]

What RAM size do you use and what do you consider a drastic reduction of that size? I wouldn't use more than 512MB RAM for BasiliskII.

[Dagobertus]

512MB is exatly the size I am using, on a machine with 3GB of RAM (Arm Debian 64).

[adespoton]

What happens if you try with 64MB?

Hello,

I just discovered in the Readme the notice that the option "ignoresegv false" is only implemented on Linux/x86, Linux/ppc and Darwin/ppc.

But I am running B-II on Debian on Arm64, so is there any way that I can compile a binary that honors that option?

[Dagobertus]

Bump … I would truly *love* to be able to compile on ARM64 with the SIGSEV Ignore option enabled.

Any suggestion how to accomplish that?

[adespoton]

I'm not sure it's needed on ARM? I think ARM64 does this by default, or doesn't allow such a thing... my brain is foggy on which it is.

[Dagobertus]

Well, it obviously doesn't allow it by default as SIGSEV causes B-II program termination on my system despite the setting in the prefs file.

My fork now supports Linux/arm64.
