Hi,


All 0.9.7x version run macos9 here.

Atm I am using

which runs macos9 very fine 

using Debian, but I compiled my mol myself using

Hi,

As I recall, the Debian packages have several patches
included by the
Debian maintainer.  I had some success applying those
patches to the
(broken) YDL4.0 MOL package. Check this list for a more
complete set of
patches (there was a recent thread discussing them).

Do you have patches that need to be added to
http://dev.gentoo.org/~josejx/mol-0.9.71_pre8.tar.bz2 ?
 If so, please
CC them to the list so they're added to the next version.

Thanks!

It's been a while since I've done this, an this was only
because the MOL
that shipped with Yellow Dog Linux was broken for MacOS 9.x,
and I have
a G4 machine. I need to sort through my install to see
*exactly* what I
did, but I can give you a rough idea of what I did to get my
installation working.

What I have right now is YDL 4.0 installed on a G4/466
desktop running a
2.6.12 kernel.  I grabbed the mol-0.9.70 sources from the
Debian site
and applied (I think) up to patch-17 (there's alot of
Debian-specific
stuff in those patches, so I think I edited out some of it
to get it to
install on my YDL box).  There was also another patch out
there that
addresses a performance with newer kernels, as well as
another one to
address scheduling priority (I think -- MacOS 9 was *slow*
unless I
disabled MOL Audio). 

As I said before, I think most of these patches have been
discussed in
this list, but I'll try to collect what I have.  You
certainly should
try Greg's gentoo link first, though (I know I will when I
upgrade to
Fedora Core 5).

Regards,
Henry

Let me give you a bit more background:

I have tried for a few weeks now to get mol 0.70-0.71pre to
run on several
distributions of Linux (I spent the most time with Suse
10.1, Fedora 4, and
Yellow Dog 4.1 because I am most familiar with RPM-based
distros).

I have been able to compile your package
"mol-0.9.71_pre8.tar.bz2" using
"make / make install" successfully on most all
of them, but after I'm done
and have completed molvconfig the same thing always happens:

I type  "startmol -cdboot" with an OS9 cdrom in
the drive or just "startmol"
with a mac partition on the machine, I consistently get a
white window with
nothing in it..  No error messages in the console window
either -- he
machine just sits idle.  If I do "startmol -X"
the window turns black or
white then gray, checks the cd-drive for media, then quits,
because I don't
have OS X here, not even a boot CD... and even so, I want to
run 9, not X.

Mol 0.68/0.69 works fine with OS9 on all Kernel 2.4-based
linux
distributions I've tried (best luck was with Mandrake
9.1/Yellowdog 3.0.1),
but these older distributions lack a lot of other features I
want, like ALSA
sound support, newer GLIBC libraries, and other components.

The hardware we have here is an iMac/350 with 320 MB RAM, 7
GB HD, CD-ROM.
We have 100's of these machines here and they run Linux
very quickly, but to
move them to linux, I need to keep the old OS 9 applications
available.

I've been using Finnix 0.87 to image the machines and to
create a bootable
CD-ROM to duplicate my images on other iMacs, and that
process works
great...  Just need the magic touch now to turn that white
screen into a
"happy mac"

I would like to try that:

What is the URL for the debian site you used to get these
patches?  Did you
ever get alsa sound support working?
