Installing SheepShaver and BasiliskII on Debian

I've tested SheepShaver with Mac OS 7.6.1 and Mac OS 8.1 with a 4MB OldWorld ROM. Sound works (even though ESD isn't used), video works, haven't tried ethernet. (all done on my current Debian unstable Intel Atom netbook.) The same instructions work for BasiliskII.

1. Install the following packages: build-essential autoconf2.59 automake1.4 libxt-dev libxext-dev libxxf86dga-dev libxxf86vm-dev
2. Follow the instructions here to download and the source from CVS, and make links as directed.
3. Patch autogen.sh in src/Unix thusly:

   -    autoconf; \
   +    autoconf2.59; \
     echo "done.") 
    
    rm -f config.cache

4. The output should look something like this:

   SheepShaver configuration summary:
   
   SDL support ...................... : none
   FBDev DGA support ................ : yes
   XFree86 DGA support .............. : yes
   XFree86 VidMode support .......... : yes
   Using PowerPC emulator ........... : yes
   Enable JIT compiler .............. : yes
   Enable video on SEGV signals ..... : yes
   ESD sound support ................ : no
   GTK user interface ............... : no
   mon debugger support ............. : no
   Addressing mode .................. : real
   Bad memory access recovery type .. : siginfo
   
   Configuration done. Now type "make".

5. Patch sys_unix.cpp in src/Unix thusly:

6. Make.
7. If SheepShaver gets angry about ERROR: Cannot map Low Memory Globals: Permission denied. try: sudo sysctl -w vm.mmap_min_addr=0
