49  ------------  -----------------------------

51  To use Basilisk II, you need either a 512K Mac Classic ROM image or a  Please consult the file "INSTALL" for a list of system requirements and
52  512K or 1MB 32-bit clean Macintosh ROM image. You also need a copy of MacOS  installation instructions.
 (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."  
   
 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.
