I had compiled it for OS X, and usethat extensively, but only for my own private use. Itwas previously written in a platform independent fashion, but Ionly provided a binary for MPW.
The SigChkTlcommand line tool now supports multiple platforms. Unfortunately, as mentioned on the Mini vMac Localizationpage, displaying Chinese characters is not currently feasible forMini vMac.I used Google Translate to convert the characters into Pinyin, andadded a Chinese Pinyin page.This translation can be included in the next branch of Mini vMac.But I gather, from people who have previously considered doing theChinese translation( 1 2 3),that it would not be very useful.(Elsewhere I have seen it compared to an English speaker tryingto read English written in the International Phonetic Alphabet.Even without previous practice it is doable, but slow and awkward.)
Sheepshaver m1 how to#
To finish being able to compilefor all supported platform with one command, I next should figureout how to automate compiling command line tools for m68k.Perhaps by using, for now, the technique used for compilingMini vMac 3.5 for m68k, which is slower than current methods,but fast enough when not for the Variations Service.Ī Chinese translationfor the Mini vMac user interface has beenanonymously contributed.
While doing this, I worked out how to automate compiling commandline tools using a networked virtual machine (in this case tocompile for Apple Silicon), like is done for theMini vMac Variations Service. The SigWrtTlcommand line tool now supports multiple platforms, as was donefor SigChkTl. So today’s Mini vMac 37.03beta no longer looks at the boot blocks, but only checks themaster directory block. (The -ndp option,which defaults to on.) The boot blocks of these System Softwareimages are garbage. I noticed that some Apple System Software disk images I havefail the new test in Mini vMac 37 that is designed to protect filesthat aren’t actually Macintosh disk images by refusing to mountthem.

Another approach would be to have to my tool forcreating a “.sit” archive file clear this area in itsoutput. It does not seem to be possible to clearjunk out of the “Reserved for system use” area of aresource fork without the operating system immediately puttingjunk back in. Except that they arenot reproducible builds yet. The MkKeysTlcommand line tool now supports multiple platforms, as was donefor SigChkTl and SigWrtTl.Ĭompiling command line tools for m68k and mppc targets is now automatedlike all the other supported platforms.
