Hi,

who has experience running mac programs WITHIN linux ? Is it worth
considering using this setup instead of running mac OR linux ? Is the
compatibillity good enough ? Can one use ppp from linux and mac app at
te same time ?

thanks,
Ronald

I run Mac-On-Linux on my LinuxPPC_2000 installation and it works just
fine, except for a few limitations. You can read about them at
http://www.ibrium.se/linux/mac_on_linux.html. It does need some  memory
though, but for being an emulator I find the performance more than
acceptable.

There's also a commercial alternative, mostly interesting from a technical
stance, or if one has _much_ older Mac programs to run, ARDI's Executor,
<www.ardi.com>

There's also vMac, which is similarly useful in a 9" b/w display sort of way.

MOL isn't really an emulator, since the Mac apps run directly on the
hardware. Think of it more as a Mac-in-a-Window.

Thanks for the reactions, I will install MOL to give it a try.

I tried downloading the demoversion of Executor but when I try to
install it I get a "not an RPM" error. What should I do about it? I
downloaded it using Netscape 4.72 from MacOS so I belive that it has
been downloaded as Binary file because I have downloaded RPMs using NS
4.72 from MacOS that worked....

Any suggestions?

I'd wish I could use it but I haven't got any Mac Plus ROM :(

the download link that I found is a .rpm.tar.gz file

Have you tried gunzip and then tar -xvf on the file in sequence?

Since I downloaded it from MacOS the .tar.gz part must have been cut
off.

Yeah, now I have. Thanks! It installed succesfully. I can't install the
SDL package though because it conflicts with some files.
If I try to run Executor without it I get the following error:
<error>
executor-demo-sdl:error in loading shared libraries:
executor-demo-sdl:undefined symbol:SDL_AudioInit
</error>

Any suggestions on how to install the SDL package?

Btw.: isn't there an easy way of saving the text from the console in a
text file so I don't have to write down the error messages manually?

Try using the "-U" for update option.

In theory the stable SDL tree is supposed to be backwardly compatible,
so by installing a newer version of SDL you shouldn't break any
existing SDL-based applications you're using.

Yes, re-direct "stderr".  If you use bash (or other shell that uses
the redirection conventions of the Bourne shell) then:

$ command 2> /tmp/errlog

will run "command" and send "stderr" to the file "/tmp/erflog".

One way is to hi-light the text using the cursor.  Then put the cursor
in a new document and hit the middle mouse key.    It's cut and paste
without issuing a cut or copy command.

The Mac apps don't run directly on any of your Mac's hardware except for
the processor.
So MOL emulates the Mac hardware but doesn't need to translate
instructions which would kill performance.

FWIW, renders OK in iCab pre2.0, which just hit the streets and claims a
number of rendering work-arounds and bug fixes.

I tried to install arrow-1.0.8-2 on LPPC2k.  I got an error for the following dependancies:

libace-56_02_2.so
libjcore-1_5_3.so
libjsearch-0_5_6.so
libjtoolbar-0_5_4.so
libjtree-1_1_7.so
libjx-1_5_3.so

I have no idea what package these are from.  I'd appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks

 
 
 

1. Linuxppc.com ftp site & Mac FTP programs

        I have had problems with ftp.linuxppc.com too. It is causing
Netscape on both my iMac and my office's Solaris versions to complain
of a lack of memory (even when I give Netscape on my Mac 100Mb to play
with).

        Has anyone else experienced any similar (or otherwise)
problems with the ftp site? I've not encountered any such problems
using Netscape to access other ftp sites.

Best Regards,
Chee Wai
