You can install Basilisk II 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. BasiliskII will be installed in /usr/bin. Run BasiliskII by typing:

/usr/bin/BasiliskII

SOURCE

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

cd src/Unix
./autogen.sh
make

Run the program by typing:

./BasiliskII

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

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

cd src/Unix 
./autogen.sh 
make 

Run the program by typing:

./BasiliskII 

The Settings GUI gets started, where you can configure BasiliskII

To install BasiliskII 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
• a GTK+2 2.6 Runtime environment from gladewin32
  

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

Then run BasiliskIIGUI to set up BasiliskII

If you have the prebuilt application from Nigel Pearson' Page, there is nothing to do. Start the program and use the PreferencesGUI to configure BasiliskII.
If you have the developer tools installed, and want to built it yourself, look in the file src/MacOSX/0_HOW_TO_BUILD.txt
