1 cebix 1.1 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 cebix 1.6 You need BeOS R4 or better.
20 cebix 1.1 Basilisk II cannot do Mac Classic emulation.
21    
22     Unix:
23 cebix 1.5 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 cebix 1.1
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 cebix 1.6 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 cebix 1.1
53     cd src/BeOS
54     make
55    
56 cebix 1.3 This will produce an executable "BasiliskII" in the "obj.ppc" or "obj.x86"
57 cebix 1.6 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 cebix 1.1
67     Unix:
68     To compile Basilisk II, do the following:
69    
70     cd src/Unix
71     ./configure
72 cebix 1.4 make [or "gmake" if you have GNU make and "make" fails]
73 cebix 1.1 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 cebix 1.2 cd Linux/NetDriver
84     make dev
85 cebix 1.1 /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 cebix 1.5
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 cebix 1.6 make
144 cebix 1.1
145 cebix 1.6 To recompile Basilisk II, you need the GeekGadgets development suite and
146     PhxAss (which can be found on Aminet).
147 cebix 1.1
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).
