You also need a copy of MacOS -(0.x thru 7.5 for Classic emulation, 7.x or 8.0/8.1 for Mac II emulation). -For copyright reasons, none of these items are included with Basilisk II. -MacOS 7.5.3 and earlier versions can be downloaded from Apple and various -other Internet sites. Mac ROM files are not freely available. You have to -own a real Mac and read out its ROM. No, I don't know where you can download -ROM files. No, I won't send you one. - -Depending on the platform you use, Basilisk II has additional requirements: - -BeOS: - You need BeOS R4 or better. On a PowerPC system you also need the - "sheep" driver that comes with SheepShaver. To use Ethernet, you need - the "sheep_net" add-on that also comes with SheepShaver (both items - are included in the SheepShaver Trial Versions). The PowerPC version of - Basilisk II cannot do Mac Classic emulation. - -Unix: - You need X11R4, pthreads support and GNU make. To use the GUI preferences - editor, you also need GTK+ version 1.2 or better. On Linux, you need - glibc 2.0 or better. - -AmigaOS: - You need at least a 68020 and AmigaOS 3.0 or better. To get the GUI - preferences editor, you need gtlayout.library V39 or later. To get sound - output, you need AHI V2 or later. Both items can be found on Aminet. You - also need the "PrepareEmul" utility that somes with ShapeShifter (or any - equivalent PrepareEmul substitute). The AmigaOS version of Basilisk II - cannot do Mac Classic emulation. - -Windows: - You need at least Windows NT 4.0. Windows 95 and 98 can be used too, with a - somewhat reduced set of features. Basilisk II supports DirectX version 5 or - later, but version 3 may also work, depending on your graphics card. - - -Installation ------------- - -BeOS: - If you have a binary distribution of Basilisk II for BeOS, there are - executables for BeOS/PPC and BeOS/x86 included. If you have the source - distribution, cd to "src/BeOS", and type "make". Basilisk II cannot run - concurrently with SheepShaver. Trying to do so will crash Basilisk II, - or SheepShaver, or both. On a PowerPC system you must have installed the - "sheep" driver that comes with SheepShaver. To use Ethernet, you must have - installed the "sheep_net" add-on that also comes with SheepShaver - -Unix: - To compile Basilisk II, cd to "src/Unix", and type "./configure" followed - by "make" and (optionally) "make install". To use Ethernet networking under - Linux, you either have to configure your kernel for ethertap support or make - and install the "sheep_net" driver: cd to "src/Unix/Linux/NetDriver" and - type "make". This should produce a kernel module "sheep_net.o". Now su root - and type "./MAKEDEV" which will install the device node "/dev/sheep_net". - Then say "/sbin/insmod sheep_net.o" and the driver should be ready for use. - You should give appropriate access rights to /dev/sheep_net if you don't - want to run Basilisk II as root. - - This is what Brian J. Johnson says about compiling for IRIX: - "I recommend compiling with "-Ofast". This requires changing "-g" - to "-Ofast" in the Makefile, and adding "-ipa" to LDFLAGS. This - turns on massive interprocedural optimization, and makes for much - better performance." +Requirements and Installation +----------------------------- -AmigaOS: - If you have a binary distribution of Basilisk II for AmigaOS, there is an - executable included. You must also have the "PrepareEmul" utility installed - that comes with ShapeShifter (or any equivalent PrepareEmul substitute, - see the ShapeShifter docs). If you have the source distribution, cd to - "src/AmigaOS" and type "smake". To recompile Basilisk II, you need SAS/C - 6.58. Earlier versions may not work. - -Windows NT: - If you have a binary distribution of Basilisk II for Windows, there is a - Windows NT binary included. To access CD-ROMs under Windows NT, the driver - "cdenable.sys" must be copied to your "\WinNT\System32\drivers" directory. - To access CD-ROMs under Windows 9x, the driver "cdenable.vxd" must be copied - to the "\Windows\System" directory. To recompile Basilisk II, you need - MS Visual V++ 5.0 or later. Symantec C++ should work, too, with some - modifications. See the "sysdeps.h" file in the "Windows" directory. - -The ROM file has to be named "ROM" and put in the same directory as the -Basilisk II executable but you can specify a different location for the ROM -file with the "rom" option in the preferences file. +Please consult the file "INSTALL" for a list of system requirements and +installation instructions.
