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. On a PowerPC system you also need the
20 "sheep" driver that comes with SheepShaver. To use Ethernet, you need
21 the "sheep_net" add-on that also comes with SheepShaver (both items
22 are included in the SheepShaver Trial Versions). The PowerPC version of
23 Basilisk II cannot do Mac Classic emulation.
24
25 Unix:
26 You need X11R6, pthreads support and GNU make. To use the GUI preferences
27 editor, you also need GTK+ version 1.2 or better. On Linux, you need
28 glibc 2.0 or better.
29
30 AmigaOS:
31 You need at least a 68020 and AmigaOS 3.0 or better. To get the GUI
32 preferences editor, you need gtlayout.library V39 or later. To get sound
33 output, you need AHI V2 or later. Both items can be found on Aminet. You
34 also need the "PrepareEmul" utility that somes with ShapeShifter (or any
35 equivalent PrepareEmul substitute). The AmigaOS version of Basilisk II
36 cannot do Mac Classic emulation.
37
38 Windows:
39 You need at least Windows NT 4.0. Windows 95 and 98 can be used too, with a
40 somewhat reduced set of features. Basilisk II supports DirectX version 5 or
41 later, but version 3 may also work, depending on your graphics card.
42
43
44 Installation
45 ------------
46
47 BeOS:
48 If you have a binary distribution of Basilisk II for BeOS, there are
49 executables for BeOS/PPC and/or BeOS/x86 included. If you have the source
50 distribution, do the following:
51
52 cd src/BeOS
53 make
54
55 Basilisk II cannot run concurrently with SheepShaver. Trying to do so will
56 crash Basilisk II, or SheepShaver, or both. On a PowerPC system you must
57 have installed the "sheep" driver that comes with SheepShaver. To use
58 Ethernet, you must have installed the "sheep_net" add-on that also comes
59 with SheepShaver
60
61 Unix:
62 To compile Basilisk II, do the following:
63
64 cd src/Unix
65 ./configure
66 make
67 make install [optionally]
68
69 To use Ethernet networking under Linux, you either have to configure your
70 kernel for ethertap support or make and install the "sheep_net" driver:
71
72 make modules
73
74 This should produce a kernel module "sheep_net.o" in the "Linux/NetDriver"
75 directory. Now su root and say
76
77 cd Linux/NetDriver
78 make dev
79 /sbin/insmod sheep_net.o
80
81 This will install the device node "/dev/sheep_net" and load the driver.
82 You should give appropriate access rights to /dev/sheep_net if you don't
83 want to have to run Basilisk II as root.
84
85 This is what Brian J. Johnson says about compiling for IRIX:
86 "I recommend compiling with "-Ofast". This requires changing "-g"
87 to "-Ofast" in the Makefile, and adding "-ipa" to LDFLAGS. This
88 turns on massive interprocedural optimization, and makes for much
89 better performance."
90
91 AmigaOS:
92 If you have a binary distribution of Basilisk II for AmigaOS, there is an
93 executable included. You must also have the "PrepareEmul" utility installed
94 that comes with ShapeShifter (or any equivalent PrepareEmul substitute,
95 see the ShapeShifter docs). If you have the source distribution, do the
96 following:
97
98 cd src/AmigaOS
99 smake
100
101 To recompile Basilisk II, you need SAS/C 6.58. Earlier versions may not work.
102
103 Windows NT:
104 If you have a binary distribution of Basilisk II for Windows, there is a
105 Windows NT binary included. To access CD-ROMs under Windows NT, the driver
106 "cdenable.sys" must be copied to your "\WinNT\System32\drivers" directory.
107 To access CD-ROMs under Windows 9x, the driver "cdenable.vxd" must be copied
108 to the "\Windows\System" directory. To recompile Basilisk II, you need
109 MS Visual V++ 5.0 or later. Symantec C++ should work, too, with some
110 modifications. See the "sysdeps.h" file in the "Windows" directory.
111
112 The ROM file has to be named "ROM" and put in the same directory as the
113 Basilisk II executable but you can specify a different location for the ROM
114 file with the "rom" option in the preferences file (or with the preferences
115 GUI).
