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
19 >  You need BeOS R4 or later versions.
20    Basilisk II cannot do Mac Classic emulation.
21  
22   Unix:
23 <  You need X11R6, pthreads support and GNU make. To use the GUI preferences
24 <  editor, you also need GTK+ version 1.2 or better. On Linux, you need
25 <  glibc 2.0 or better.
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
# Line 40 | Line 38 | Windows:
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 + Mac OS X:
42 +  Versions 10.0 thru 10.2 can be used, and 10.3 will probably be no problem.
43 +  (OS X public beta is not supported by the current executable or source code,
44 +   but if you really need to use it, I can provide versions that will work)

46   Installation
47   ------------
48  
49   BeOS:
50    If you have a binary distribution of Basilisk II for BeOS, there are
51 <  executables for BeOS/PPC and/or BeOS/x86 included. If you have the source
52 <  distribution, do the following:
51 >  executables for BeOS/PPC and/or BeOS/x86 included. Basilisk II cannot run
52 >  concurrently with SheepShaver. Trying to do so will crash Basilisk II, or
53 >  SheepShaver, or both.
54 >
55 >  If you have the source distribution, do the following:
56  
57      cd src/BeOS
58      make
59  
60 <  Basilisk II cannot run concurrently with SheepShaver. Trying to do so will
61 <  crash Basilisk II, or SheepShaver, or both. On a PowerPC system you must
62 <  have installed the "sheep" driver that comes with SheepShaver. To use
63 <  Ethernet, you must have installed the "sheep_net" add-on that also comes
64 <  with SheepShaver
60 >  This will produce an executable "BasiliskII" in the "obj.ppc" or "obj.x86"
61 >  directory. To use Ethernet, you also have to do:
62 >
63 >    cd SheepNet
64 >    make install
65 >
66 >  On a PowerPC system, you also have to do:
67 >
68 >    cd SheepDriver
69 >    make install
70  
71   Unix:
72    To compile Basilisk II, do the following:
73  
74      cd src/Unix
75      ./configure
76 <    make
76 >    make            [or "gmake" if you have GNU make and "make" fails]
77      make install    [optionally]
78  
79    To use Ethernet networking under Linux, you either have to configure your
80 <  kernel for ethertap support or make and install the "sheep_net" driver:
81 <
82 <    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.
80 >  kernel for ethertap support or make and install the "sheep_net" driver
81 >  (this is explained in the README file, at the description of the "ether"
82 >  preferences item).
83  
84    This is what Brian J. Johnson says about compiling for IRIX:
85     "I recommend compiling with "-Ofast".  This requires changing "-g"
# Line 88 | Line 87 | Unix:
87      turns on massive interprocedural optimization, and makes for much
88      better performance."
89  
90 +  ATTENTION NetBSD/m68k USERS:
91 +  If you want to run Basilisk II natively (i.e. without CPU emulation), you
92 +  must NOT use a pthreads library. User-level threads libraries such as PTL
93 +  interfere with the signal handlers installed by Basilisk II and kernel-
94 +  level threads are not supported by NetBSD, so you will have to live without
95 +  pthreads, and thus without serial/ethernet/audio support (but the "UDP
96 +  tunnelling" network should work).
97 +
98 +  ATTENTION NetBSD/mac68k USERS:
99 +  Current (as of July 2000) versions of the NetBSD/mac68k kernel have a bug
100 +  that not only prevents Basilisk II from running properly but seems to even
101 +  cause kernel panics under certain conditions! Apply the following patch to
102 +  /sys/arch/mac68k/mac68k/macromasm.s, recompile and re-install the kernel
103 +  and reboot before using Basilisk II:

129   AmigaOS:
130    If you have a binary distribution of Basilisk II for AmigaOS, there is an
131    executable included. You must also have the "PrepareEmul" utility installed

155 +
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
