The requirements for all platforms

You can install SheepShaver in Linux either using the RPM-package, SOURCE-files or directly from CVS.

RPM

The easiest way to install SheepShaver is through the RPM-File. SheepShaver will be installed in /usr/bin. Run SheepShaver by typing:

/usr/bin/SheepShaver

SOURCE

Download the SOURCE and unpack the SheepShaver archive. You can then try to compile the program under Linux with:

cd src/Unix
./autogen.sh
make

Run the program by typing:

./SheepShaver

CVS

Situate yourself in a directory of your liking and download the sources using the following commands in a terminal/console window:

cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.cebix.net:/home/cvs/cebix login

the password is “anoncvs”.

Then:

cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.cebix.net:/home/cvs/cebix checkout BasiliskII
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.cebix.net:/home/cvs/cebix checkout SheepShaver
cd SheepShaver
make links

You can then try to compile the program under Linux with:

cd src/Unix 
./autogen.sh 
make \\ 

Run the program by typing:

./SheepShaver 

The SheepShaver Settings GUI will be started. Through the GUI, you can configure SheepShaver.

To install SheepShaver for Windows, download the ZIP-file and unpack it.

You will also need to download:

• a Windows version of SDL.dll from libsdl.org and
• the GTK+2 2.6 Runtime environment from gladewin32
  

Place SDL.dll in the same directory SheepShaver.exe is in and install the GTK+2 environment.

Then run SheepShaverGUI to set up SheepShaver.

Please note: To use a CD-ROM with SheepShaver you have to copy the file “cdenable.sys” from the folder “CD-ROM drivers” in your download to your /windows/system32/drivers folder.

The installation of the ethernet driver is described here: ethernet

You can download a pre-build application from here and use the GUI to set up SheepShaver

If the disk image you are going to use is blank, SheepShaver will boot from CD

To create a disk image use the following command in a terminal window:

dd if=/dev/zero of=name_of_your_hard_disk_image bs=1048576 count=size_in_megabytes

Or use Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities) and create a new image file.

For the CD-ROM drive to be detected and used within SheepShaver, you first have to insert a medium prior to starting up the application.
