Your adaptions look reasonable. I've tested compilation for several Linux distributions, so I'm not surprised that minor changes are needed. The intention was to change the original OS-9 files only on a minimum level.
The error message looks like the "shell" can't be found in a dd/CMDS directory. dd must be at the same directory as the os9linux application.

Hello Jurg,
thanks for attaching the log screenshots with -d 3 option. As far as I can see, these applications try to make unknown getstat/setstatt calls on /term. The unknown and not implemented getstat call is 0x7D02, for setstat it is 0x0080. I assume the original system has a specific /term driver implementation which supports these calls. They are non-standard, I don't know what they try...

OS9exec does not have descriptors, drivers or file managers. These structures are built in. So a specific call seems to be missing. To get more information about the problem, os9exec can be run with "-d 3" which will give additional debug information about what's going wrong.

Hi Rich,
thanks for your very detailed feedback about the FPU problem.
OS9exec is using the UAE 68k (which is open source under GPL as well) as 68k processor emulator including the FPU emulation for x86 and PPC platforms. So this is just used code, not specifically written for os9exec. So the code must be inspected at this part of the project. There might be updates of UAE concerning FPU...

Hi Bob,
os9exec is emulating the real time operating system OS-9 of Microware. Unfortunately this has nothing to do with MacOS9 (even if it sounds very similar), so os9exec is probably not the solution for your problem.
There are programs like SheepShaver which emulate MacOS9, maybe this can help to run your software on Intel Macs.
Best Regards,
Beat.

Hello Allan,
os9exec does not need a kernel or an RBF file manager: this functionality is emulated. As my own real OS-9 reference system is a V2.9, I think most program files should immediately work, as well as OS-9 V3.X programs. The kernel functionality is emulated, it is not realtime and it might behave slightly different compared to the original kernel for several reasons.
For the wise...
