1 BASILISK II INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2 =====================================
3
4 System Requirements
5 -------------------
6
7 To use Basilisk II, you need either a 512K Mac Classic ROM image or a
8 512K or 1MB 32-bit clean Macintosh ROM image. You also need a copy of MacOS
9 (0.x thru 7.5 for Classic emulation, 7.x or 8.0/8.1 for Mac II emulation).
10 For copyright reasons, none of these items are included with Basilisk II.
11 MacOS 7.5.3 and earlier versions can be downloaded from Apple and various
12 other Internet sites. Mac ROM files are not freely available. You have to
13 own a real Mac and read out its ROM. No, I don't know where you can download
14 ROM files. No, I won't send you one.
15
16 Depending on the platform you use, Basilisk II has additional requirements:
17
18 BeOS:
19 You need BeOS R4 or better.
20 Basilisk II cannot do Mac Classic emulation.
21
22 Unix:
23 You need X11R6 and a "make" utility with the VPATH feature (e.g. GNU make).
24 For serial, ethernet and audio support, you need pthreads. To use the GUI
25 preferences editor, you also need GTK+ version 1.2 or better. On Linux, you
26 need glibc 2.0 or better.
27
28 AmigaOS:
29 You need at least a 68020 and AmigaOS 3.0 or better. To get the GUI
30 preferences editor, you need gtlayout.library V39 or later. To get sound
31 output, you need AHI V2 or later. Both items can be found on Aminet. You
32 also need the "PrepareEmul" utility that somes with ShapeShifter (or any
33 equivalent PrepareEmul substitute). The AmigaOS version of Basilisk II
34 cannot do Mac Classic emulation.
35
36 Windows:
37 You need at least Windows NT 4.0. Windows 95 and 98 can be used too, with a
38 somewhat reduced set of features. Basilisk II supports DirectX version 5 or
39 later, but version 3 may also work, depending on your graphics card.
40
41
42 Installation
43 ------------
44
45 BeOS:
46 If you have a binary distribution of Basilisk II for BeOS, there are
47 executables for BeOS/PPC and/or BeOS/x86 included. Basilisk II cannot run
48 concurrently with SheepShaver. Trying to do so will crash Basilisk II, or
49 SheepShaver, or both.
50
51 If you have the source distribution, do the following:
52
53 cd src/BeOS
54 make
55
56 This will produce an executable "BasiliskII" in the "obj.ppc" or "obj.x86"
57 directory. To use Ethernet, you also have to do:
58
59 cd SheepNet
60 make install
61
62 On a PowerPC system, you also have to do:
63
64 cd SheepDriver
65 make install
66
67 Unix:
68 To compile Basilisk II, do the following:
69
70 cd src/Unix
71 ./configure
72 make [or "gmake" if you have GNU make and "make" fails]
73 make install [optionally]
74
75 To use Ethernet networking under Linux, you either have to configure your
76 kernel for ethertap support or make and install the "sheep_net" driver:
77
78 make modules
79
80 This should produce a kernel module "sheep_net.o" in the "Linux/NetDriver"
81 directory. Now su root and say
82
83 cd Linux/NetDriver
84 make dev
85 /sbin/insmod sheep_net.o
86
87 This will install the device node "/dev/sheep_net" and load the driver.
88 You should give appropriate access rights to /dev/sheep_net if you don't
89 want to have to run Basilisk II as root.
90
91 This is what Brian J. Johnson says about compiling for IRIX:
92 "I recommend compiling with "-Ofast". This requires changing "-g"
93 to "-Ofast" in the Makefile, and adding "-ipa" to LDFLAGS. This
94 turns on massive interprocedural optimization, and makes for much
95 better performance."
96
97 ATTENTION NetBSD/m68k USERS:
98 If you want to run Basilisk II natively (i.e. without CPU emulation), you
99 must NOT use a pthreads library. User-level threads libraries such as PTL
100 interfere with the signal handlers installed by Basilisk II and kernel-
101 level threads are not supported by NetBSD, so you will have to live without
102 pthreads (and thus, without serial/ethernet/audio support).
103
104 ATTENTION NetBSD/mac68k USERS:
105 Current (as of July 2000) versions of the NetBSD/mac68k kernel have a bug
106 that not only prevents Basilisk II from running properly but seems to even
107 cause kernel panics under certain conditions! Apply the following patch to
108 /sys/arch/mac68k/mac68k/macromasm.s, recompile and re-install the kernel
109 and reboot before using Basilisk II:

135 AmigaOS:
136 If you have a binary distribution of Basilisk II for AmigaOS, there is an
137 executable included. You must also have the "PrepareEmul" utility installed
138 that comes with ShapeShifter (or any equivalent PrepareEmul substitute,
139 see the ShapeShifter docs). If you have the source distribution, do the
140 following:
141
142 cd src/AmigaOS
143 make
144
145 To recompile Basilisk II, you need the GeekGadgets development suite and
146 PhxAss (which can be found on Aminet).
147
148 Windows NT:
149 If you have a binary distribution of Basilisk II for Windows, there is a
150 Windows NT binary included. To access CD-ROMs under Windows NT, the driver
151 "cdenable.sys" must be copied to your "\WinNT\System32\drivers" directory.
152 To access CD-ROMs under Windows 9x, the driver "cdenable.vxd" must be copied
153 to the "\Windows\System" directory. To recompile Basilisk II, you need
154 MS Visual V++ 5.0 or later. Symantec C++ should work, too, with some
155 modifications. See the "sysdeps.h" file in the "Windows" directory.
156
157 The ROM file has to be named "ROM" and put in the same directory as the
158 Basilisk II executable but you can specify a different location for the ROM
159 file with the "rom" option in the preferences file (or with the preferences
160 GUI).
