[vulture]

yup! starts ok now! Many thx Luigi!

[tlosm]

Finnally ;-)

[vulture]

Luigi, I've seen a youtube vid with fs-uae for linux ppc, is that a compile for debian 7? Could you share that build please?

[tlosm]

Yes it was on debian wheezy 7.8 and run much much better and faster compared OsX .... (if one day kvm... ehmmm will be much better)
It need to be totally build on your machine if you know of the make it i will share the patched isi file .

[vulture]

Ah I see, it needs a specific build. I've never used "make" before. Do you think it's a very complicated task to attempt?

Nope is not complicated ... but you need to install all the library and the devs pack for build the fs-uae.

aptitude install libsdl2-dev libopenal-dev zip libtool autoconf automake make gcc g++ git

and freetype dev

after mkdir fsuae
cd fsuae

git clone (url of fsuae git)
git clone (url of qemu uae)

overwrite the isi file in qemuvga in fsuae/src directory

./bootstrap
and at last ./configure and make. (for fsuae)

./bootstrap
./configure and make (for qemu uae)

[vulture]

hmm.... sounds like I could do that! Could you send me the patched file you were talking about? Dropbox or in the zone? Many thx!

[tlosm]

here is https://www.dropbox.com/s/zgu5kl3sxk...c895a.cpp?dl=0

[vulture]

I'll try it during the weekend! Thx man!

@tlsom

I've tried to start building it on debian per your instructions, but I stopped at the very first step "aptitude install libsdl2-dev" as it can't find the package for installation. Is there something I need to configure before doing that? Thx!

nano /etc/apt/source.list

and add

deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy-backports main

after

apt-get update

and try again to download the needed library ;-)

more questions Luigi:

I've done everything ok up to installing git

then you say "and freetype dev"

I've tried "aptitude install freetype" and "aptitude install freetype-dev" but no such packages were found. The only relevant package I've found is "libfreetype6-dev". Am I doing something very wrong here? Also, could you please give me the urls for fs-uae git and qemu uae git? I mean, I can get to the respective git pages, but I'm not sure what is the exact url i should be using in each case. Many many thx once again for your time and help!

[tlosm]

you need exactly this

libfreetype6-dev

Just a quick note for FS-UAE 2.5.32dev config file on OSX PPC build.

If you wish to open the emulation in fullscreen now you MUST declare the following lines:

fullscreen = 1
fullscreen_mode = fullscreen

If you simply declare as before only "fullscreen = 1" line then the screen will become white and the application crash.
The very same error occour if you declare "fullscreen_mode = desktop"

[tlosm]

Snakecoils good to see you again

Well, since the latest FS-UAE releases are become too much demanding for my poor PowerMac G4 I started to make PPC builds only for bug-hunting purpose while for all my real Amiga emulation needs I am running usually the 2.5.20dev version, so far the best compromise between accuracy and speed for low spec PPC systems.
Big compliments for your PPC emulation progress on Big Endian systems :-)

here is the Dev 30 for G5 ppc enabled
