Executor is a Macintosh emulator that is able to run many ancient Mac
|
|
OS 680x0 binaries (System 6 era, early System 7) without using any
|
|
intellectual property from Apple Computer.
|
|
|
|
Executor has not been actively worked on for many years. It is more
|
|
of a curiousity than anything practical; it does not run PowerPC
|
|
binaries, nor did it even run most System 7 applications. Unless you
|
|
have a particular application that you know works with Executor, or
|
|
just like emulation a lot, you probably don't want to spend any time
|
|
with Executor.
|
|
|
|
Included are a bunch of auxiliarly files and miscellaneous front-ends.
|
|
|
|
The DOS port required various other libraries that we had permission
|
|
to use, but that we did not necessarily have the permission to publish
|
|
the source for, so the source to some of the packages that the DOS
|
|
port requires is not present in the github repository.
|
|
|
|
Don't be mislead by configure.ac, Executor currently builds using an
|
|
ancient configuration script. If you want to try to build a version
|
|
of Executor for Linux, try doing this (*After you've done a make
|
|
install of syn68k):
|
|
|
|
mkdir -p build/debug-linux
|
|
cd build/debug-linux
|
|
../../util/configure.sh '--target=i486-linux' '--host=i486-linux' '--front-end=x' '--target-gcc=gcc' '--cflags=-fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/X11R6/include -O0 -finline-functions -g -Wall' '--root=../..' '--target-file-format=glibc' '--sound=linux' '--syn68k-target=i486-linux-glibc'
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
That should leave you with a binary called executor. Unfortunately, without
|
|
a System Folder, Executor won't even come close to running. If you're using
|
|
a system that can install RPMs and you can dig up and install a copy of
|
|
executor-aux-2.1pr16-1.i386.rpm, then you should be able to run.
|
|
|
|
I'll fiddle around a bit and figure out the easiest way to build a
|
|
System Folder for Executor from the git repository and add that info
|
|
next. In the meantime, if anyone is reading this and wants a copy of
|
|
executor-aux-2.1pr16-1.i386.rpm, try messaging me (ctm) at github.
|
|
|
|
If you're on an x86_64 based machine and you have the ability to compile
|
|
32-bit binaries, you should be able to build a copy of Executor by doing
|
|
something like
|
|
|
|
mkdir -p build/debug-linux
|
|
cd build/debug-linux
|
|
../../util/configure.sh '--target=i486-linux' '--host=i486-linux' '--front-end=x' '--target-gcc=gcc -m32' '--cflags=-fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/X11R6/include -O0 -finline-functions -g -Wall' '--root=../..' '--target-file-format=glibc' '--sound=linux' '--syn68k-target=i486-linux-glibc'
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
However, you may find that you need to hand-edit Makefile and change the line
|
|
|
|
HOST_GCC = gcc
|
|
|
|
to
|
|
|
|
HOST_GCC = gcc -m32
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have SDL <http://libsdl.org/> installed and would like to use
|
|
the SDL-based version of Executor on Linux, you can try:
|
|
|
|
mkdir -p build/debug-linux-sdl
|
|
cd build/debug-linux-sdl
|
|
../../util/configure.sh '--target=i486-linux' '--host=i486-linux' '--front-end=sdl' '--cflags=-fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/X11R6/include -O0 -finline-functions -g -Wall' '--root=../..' '--target-file-format=glibc' '--sound=sdl' '--syn68k-target=i486-linux-glibc'
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
If you have SDL <http://libsdl.org/> installed and would like to play with
|
|
the SDL-based version of Executor on Mac OS X Intel, you can try:
|
|
|
|
mkdir -p build/debug-macosx-sdl
|
|
cd build/debug-macosx-sdl
|
|
../../util/configure.sh '--target=i486-macosx' '--host=i486-macosx' '--front-end=sdl' '--cflags=-fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/X11R6/include -O0 -finline-functions -g -Wall' '--root=../..' '--target-file-format=glibc' '--sound=sdl' '--syn68k-target=i486-macosx-glibc'
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
In the past it was possible to cross-compile a version of Executor for
|
|
Windows using mingw32. So far that port hasn't been tried since
|
|
putting the code on Github. It probably doesn't work, but probably
|
|
could be made to work without much effort.
|
|
|
|
My email address is still <ctm@ardi.com>, although ARDI itself is
|
|
defunct. I get a ridiculous amount of spam and will quite possibly
|
|
not see email addressed to me. I'm ctm on github (http://github.com)
|
|
and typically check my email there once a day.
