[B2-devel] Re: SheepShaver 2.2 snapshot 2004/07/07

[Eric H. <eah...@lo...>]

Hi, I'm new to SheepShaver but I thought I'd give this a shot.

Running Linux/PPC with a 2.4.22 kernel, I got it to compile and run with a 
small problem, namely, the config script apparently didn't detect that my 
system has dirent.h and sys/dir.h, so I had to add "-DHAVE_DIRENT_H 
-DHAVE_SYS_DIR_H" to the CXXFLAGS line in the Makefile or else it errors out.

When running, it doesn't detect my 750CXe processor and assumes it's a 604, 
which (after doing a quick search on the web) can be fixed, possibly (keeping 
in mind that I don't really know what I'm doing here), by adding these lines 
to the appropriate spot in main_unix.cpp:

else if (strcmp(value, "750CX") == 0)
	PVR = 0x00083214;

However, the show-stopper happens after starting the paranoia check, which 
causes the program to hang.  A bit of investigation shows that it never gets 
past the line "set_r2(0xaffebad5);" in Linux/paranoia.cpp.  This happens 
whether or not I've added those two 750CXe lines to main_unix.cpp.

Any ideas?  I've done some poking around in the source but I'm afraid I'm 
rather clueless as to what's supposed to happen there....
