SheepShaver for Linux

[Cat_7]

I just compiled on Fedora 29:

git clone https://www.github.com/macemu macemu-master
cd macemu-master/SheepShaver
make links
cd src/Unix
NO_CONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh
./configure (OR, if you want SDL video/audio)
./configure --enable-sdl-video --enable-sdl-audio
make
strip SheepShaver

Run SheepShaver as root.

OK, so I just did:

Code: Select all

git clone https://github.com/cebix/macemu
cd macemu/SheepShaver
make links
cd src/Unix
NO_CONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-sdl-video --enable-sdl-audio
make
strip SheepShaver

Upon emulator startup I get a segfault:

If I do the same build procedure as above, but without SDL (just ./configure), I get an X error:

Code: Select all

$ sudo ./SheepShaver

WARNING: Cannot open /dev/cdrom (Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden)
WARNING: Cannot open /dev/mixer (Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden)
WARNING: Cannot open /dev/dsp (Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden)
The program 'SheepShaver' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'XF86DGANoDirectVideoMode'.
  (Details: serial 43 error_code 180 request_code 154 minor_code 1)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

This is under 64-bit Kubuntu 18.10.

I've compiled some new Linux builds of both SheepShaver and BasiliskII: https://github.com/vasi/macemu/releases/tag/2019-07-13 . Feel free to test them out, and maybe link them in the top post.

[Cat_7]

Thanks Vasi !

I linked to the builds in the first post.

I'm at my wit's end with trying to get networking to work in SheepShaver on Linux Mint. I have the latest build of everything and it works great, except for networking. I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to Linux, so I followed these instructions to the letter:

Download the sheep_net.ko file from the same forum entry and place it in your home folder. Then open a terminal window and execute:

sudo modprobe sheep_net.ko

But all I get is this:

modprobe: FATAL: Module sheep_net.ko not found in directory /lib/modules/5.4.0-58-generic

I tried copying sheep_net.ko to the aforementioned directory but I get a permissions error.

Can anyone help?

[Ryk Groff]

Update: I was able to copy sheep_net.ko to the correct directory, but still can't get modprobe to see it:

rykgroff@LinuxMint:~$ sudo cp sheep_net.ko /lib/modules/5.4.0-58-generic
rykgroff@LinuxMint:~$ sudo modprobe sheep_net.ko
modprobe: FATAL: Module sheep_net.ko not found in directory /lib/modules/5.4.0-58-generic

Huh?

[Cat_7]

Hi,

Is the slirp networking option not working or sufficient for you?
If you downloaded the sheep_net.ko file from our forum, then please be advised it is very old and not compiled on Mint.
Perhaps you should compile your own if you need it.

Best,
Cat_7

[Ryk Groff]

Thanks for the quick reply, Cat_7!

Yes, I'm using slirp but am unable to connect to ethernet. I thought that .ko file would help, but I guess I need to learn to compile one specifically for my version of Linux Mint, eh? Now to learn how to compile! This is turning out to be quite the involved hobby, but fun!

Hi I'm running linux mint on my Inspiron 3650, can i install please?
