Posted this on the E-maculation forum, but maybe could be of some interest here too :
Hi, I’m trying to build MiniVMac for MacOSX 1.2 Server aka Rhapsody 5.6.
I have it installed on a Powerbook G3 PDQ, with an X11 server and managed to run a MiniVMac hosted on a Raspberry-Pi in a X-Session. Here a screenshot :
Work very well, so though it would be nice to have MiniVMac run natively on rhapsody.
Note it could run in the blueBox MacOS 8.6 but that would be just running it on a Classic MacOS, when the fun would be to see it run natively on the Rhapsody system…
I contacted the MiniVMac author, he gave some leads. Like that the Free/Open/Net BSD ports of MiniVMac use the X Window system. so I think this is the way to go.
here is what I’ve tried so far :
I’ve installed GCC 2.7.2.1 on the MacOS Server. then grabbed minivmac160109-3.4.src sources.
Prepared some few builds with differents options for try compiling on Rhapsody.
I’ve did a FreeBSD for PPC (-t fbpc option in MnvM_b34).
did a generic X11 for PPC and Gnu Tools development env (-t xgen -cpu ppc -e bgc)
did also a openbsd for PPC (-t obsd -cpu ppc )
And tried building these in Rhapsody. No success.
FreeBSD for PPC version gives me this error after spitting lots of code lines :
my_code_end
cpp: /var/tmp/cc000659.s: No such file or directory
make: *** [bld/MINEM68K.o] Error 1
The Generic X11 for PPC version gives me the same with a variation (« cc000604.s » instead of « cc000659.s ») :
my_code_end
cpp: /var/tmp/cc000604.s: No such file or directory
make: *** [bld/MINEM68K.o] Error 1
and the openbsd for PPC gives me the same again with a small change :
my_code_end
cpp: /var/tmp/cc000714.s: No such file or directory
make: *** [bld/MINEM68K.o] Error 1
I don’t know whats going wrong here being no coder at all.
Any help would be very appreciated
Would be fun to have MiniVMac running (dancing ?) on that old Rhapsody.
