Re: [ES40-developers] OSX command-line port without X-Code

[Martin B. <mar...@oo...>]

Hi Timothy,

If all you want to is to study OpenVMS there are several other options.
First of all there is simh. It basically works on any unix system and it
works quite well. The downside is that you're stuck with OpenVMS VAX 7.3.
Then there is Personal Alpha from SRI which is free, but requires
Windows and the .Net framework. This should work just fine using
bootcamp, or any VM. out there VirtualBox from SUN is a free option.
As for our ES40 emulator it still requires a lot of work, but if you are
willing to take the leap:
- What sources did you use?
- I've built various versions of es40 om my mac without using Xcode, the
unix standard tools work just fine
- I never encountered te problem you mention, but I use CVS tho get the
sources.

Kind Regards,
