Building Basikisk II for Raspberry Pi

[bfranske]

Are there any tips for building Basilisk II for the Raspberry Pi? I'm going to run the Pi booting straight into Basilisk II so my preference is to run without X if possible. It seems, from what I have gathered, this was possible at least at some point in the past but I have been unsuccessful in building and running it thus far. In particular when trying to run it after compiling I get two SDL errors about "SDL_SetWindowGammaRamp returned -1, SDL error: That operation is not supported" followed by a "WARNING: RmvTime(000f11d6): Descriptor not found" and then nothing.

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=SDL2+without+X11 returns a couple of semi-useful links; looks like you need to use SDL2 targeting the frame buffer instead of X. Should be possible, but may require a bit of tweaking.

To build Basilisk II (and SheepShaver; see on the corresponding thread) on Raspberry PI OS lite, follow these steps:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install git libsdl2* automake samba samba-common smbclient libmpc-dev -y
git clone https://github.com/kanjitalk755/macemu.git

cd ./macemu

cd BasiliskII/
cd src/Unix/
sudo nano ether_unix.cpp

skip to line 324 and kill the following lines (to use slirp without sudo)

Code: Select all

}

        // Don't raise SIGPIPE, let errno be set to EPIPE
        struct sigaction sigpipe_sa;
        if (sigaction(SIGPIPE, NULL, &sigpipe_sa) == 0) {
                assert(sigpipe_sa.sa_handler == SIG_DFL || sigpipe_sa.sa_handler == SIG_IGN);
                sigfillset(&sigpipe_sa.sa_mask);
                sigpipe_sa.sa_flags = 0;
                sigpipe_sa.sa_handler = SIG_IGN;
                sigaction(SIGPIPE, &sigpipe_sa, NULL);

Code: Select all

NO_CONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-sdl-video --enable-sdl-audio --disable-vosf --disable-jit-compiler
sudo make install

I've raised a GitHub issue for this https://github.com/kanjitalk755/macemu/issues/232. Anyone able to join the discussion about a more suitable long term fix?
