Revision as of 02:55, 17 February 2009

Please note that Im not going to build an 'accelerated' version of qemu, im trying to keep this build as 'stable' as possible. I'm going to assume you know how to use vi. I would recommend trying the 0.8.0 before you try a snapshot. The snapshot may not work, or it may behave eradicaly. It is worth nothing that my pentium 3 cannot start the GUI portion. I really dont know why. (I did try -O1 for CFLAGS)

Also with regard to the nextstep part I'm using ISO images. I have just had too many problems with the physical media.

Required Downloads

Download the following to c:\install\qemu-build

MinGW

from http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml

  • MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe
  • MSYS-1.0.9.exe
  • msysDTK-1.0.1.exe
  • gcc-core-3.4.5-20060117-1.tar.gz
  • gcc-g++-3.4.5-20060117-1.tar.gz
  • w32api-3.6.tar.gz
  • mingw-runtime-3.9.tar.gz

Aditional Dependancies

Qemu

Boot diskette image for NeXTSTEP

Installation of MinGW

  • Install MinGW - default options
  • install msys - defualt options
Do you wish to continue with the post install? [yn ] y

Do you have MinGW installed? [yn ] y

Please answer the following in the form of c:/foo/bar.
Where is your MinGW installation? c:/mingw
  • install msysDTK - default options


Start -> run -> mingw -> msys -> msys

cd /mingw
tar -zxvf /c/install/qemu-build/gcc-core-3.4.5-20060117-1.tar.gz
tar -zxvf /c/install/qemu-build/gcc-g++-3.4.5-20060117-1.tar.gz
tar -zxvf /c/install/qemu-build/w32api-3.6.tar.gz
tar -zxvf /c/install/qemu-build/mingw-runtime-3.9.tar.gz

gcc -v should return:

Thread model: win32
gcc version 3.4.5 (mingw special)

Compilation

With the c compiler looking good, it's time to extract the dependancies for Qemu.

cd /
mkdir -p /usr/src
cd /usr/src

SDL

Extract and build SDL.

tar -zxvf /c/install/qemu-build/SDL-1.2.9.tar.gz
cd SDL-1.2.9
./configure
make
make install

zlib

Extract and build zlib

cd /usr/src
tar -zxvf /c/install/qemu-build/zlib-1.2.3.tar.gz
./configure
make
make install

Configuring Qemu

Then to compensate for qemu's configure

cd /mingw/include
ln -s /usr/local/include/zconf.h .
ln -s /usr/local/include/zlib.h .
ln -s /usr/local/include/SDL .
cd /mingw/lib
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libSDL.a .
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libz.a .
cd /bin
ln -s true.exe texi2html.exe
ln -s true.exe pod2man.exe

SNAPSHOT NOTES

Remember the qemu qemu-snapshot-2006-04-15_23.tar.bz2 will be whatever todays date is...!

cd /usr/src
bzip2 -dc /c/install/qemu-build/qemu-snapshot-2006-04-15_23.tar.bz2 | tar -xvf -
cd qemu-snapshot-2006-04-15_23

Ok now we are going to 'hack' a bunch of stuff here. 1st we want the easy one, which is the SoundBlaster 16. We want it to use irq 7.

vi hw/sb16.c 
/0x220

now we want to chagne the line from

} conf = {5, 4, 5, 1, 5, 0x220};
to
} conf = {5, 4, 7, 1, 5, 0x220};

Ok now time to run the patch, I know it'll fail, but dont worry, its not that hard to fix.

gzip -dc /c/install/qemu-build/qemu-0.8.0-openstep-busmouse-2.diff.gz | patch -p1

vi hw/ps2.c 
<pre>

comment out the qemu_add_mouse_event_handler line.
<pre>
vi hw/busmouse.c
qemu_add_mouse_event_handler(busmouse_event,s);
change that line to:
qemu_add_mouse_event_handler(busmouse_event,s,0);

Now let's start the build.

./configure --target-list=i386-softmmu
make


qemu-0.8.0 NOTES

Extract Qemu and integrate patch.

cd /usr/src
tar -zxvf /c/install/qemu-build/qemu-0.8.0.tar.gz
cd qemu-0.8.0
gzip -dc /c/install/qemu-build/qemu-0.8.0-openstep-busmouse-2.diff.gz | patch -p1

Ok now we are going to 'hack' the sound card here. 1st we want the easy one, which is the SoundBlaster 16. We want it to use irq 7.

vi hw/sb16.c 
/0x220

now we want to change the line from

} conf = {5, 4, 5, 1, 5, 0x220};
to
} conf = {5, 4, 7, 1, 5, 0x220};

Now configure Qemu

./configure --target-list=i386-softmmu
make
<pre>


== Installing NeXTSETP ==


Ok now lets start with nextstep. Im going to populate a standalone copy of qemu

<pre>
mkdir /c/install/nextstep
cp i386-softmmu/qemu /c/install/nextstep
cp /usr/local/bin/SDL.dll /c/install/nextstep
cp pc-bios/bios.bin /c/install/nextstep
cp pc-bios/vgabios-cirrus.bin /c/install/nextstep
<pre>

Lets create the 2 gig disk image..

<pre>
qemu-img create -f qcow /c/install/nextstep/ns33.qcow 2G

Ok now here is the iso's that Im going to use in my c:\install directory:

04/15/2006  09:10 PM       373,764,096 NeXTSTEP 3.3 User (m68k, i386).iso
04/15/2006  10:04 PM         1,474,560 3.3_Beta_Drivers.floppyimage
04/15/2006  10:04 PM         1,474,560 3.3_Boot_Disk.floppyimage
04/15/2006  10:04 PM         1,474,560 3.3_Core_Drivers.floppyimage

Ok lets get started! Im using the cmd.exe so I can paste stuff in & out. Also I copy the disk images ontop of 'disk' because some qemu hosts dont have the ctrl-alt-2 function...

cd \install\nextstep
copy ..\3.3_Beta_Drivers.floppyimage beta
copy ..\3.3_Boot_Disk.floppyimage boot
copy ..\3.3_Core_Drivers.floppyimage core
copy boot disk

Now let's run Qemu like this:

C:\install\nextstep>qemu.exe -L . -m 32 -hda ns33.qcow -cdrom "..\NeXTSTEP 3.3 User (m68k, i386).iso" -fda disk -boot a

43bsd.png

-v (enter)

I like the verbose booting so I can see what is going on.

43bsd.png

1 (enter)

43bsd.png

1 (enter)

time to copy the core disk onto 'disk' and press enter to continue. From a 2nd cmd.exe do a : copy core disk (enter)

time to copy the beta disk onto the 'disk' and press enter to continue. From the 2nd cmd.exe do a: copy beta disk (enter)

Now this part of the disk is corrupt (its on all the beta 3.3 disks) so we have to select some scsi driver in order to get to the ATAPI. I choose #2 2 (enter)

Now we can procede to the ATAPI 7 (enter)

2 (enter)

1 (enter)


I like the advanced install. So lets go with #2 2 (enter)

We are going to install on the #1 (and only) disk 1 (enter)

Since the ne2000 currently doesnt work, I want a small partition to copy files on & off the vm. 2 (enter)

Lets go with 32 megabytes 32 (enter)

Ok looks good! 3 (enter)

1 (enter)

Now the disk is being partitioned & formatted. This could take a minute.

files are being copied.

Ok we are done here. Press enter (enter)


Now at this point you can kill the emulator. For the sake of being 'easy' lets copy the core file back ontop of the 'disk' Now we re-launch qemu as follows:

C:\install\nextstep>qemu.exe -L . -m 32 -soundhw sb16 -hda ns33.qcow -cdrom "..\NeXTSTEP 3.3 User (m68k, i386).iso" -fda disk -boot c


Again lets boot verbose -v (enter)

1 (enter)

copy the beta onto disk 1 (enter)


(enter)

copy core onto disk (enter)

Click on the monitor (from the top). We are going to install the VGA driver for now.

Select the Default VGA Adapter (v3.30) and press the 'Add' button

Now sleect the mouse button (from the top), then select the "PS/2-Style Mouse (v3.30)". Click the remove button.

Select the system icon from the top (the box with the question mark on it), and then choose the "On-Board Parallel Port (v3.30)" and press the remove button.

Now select the audio icon (the speaker icon from the top) and lets add the "Sound Blaster 16 (v3.30)" driver.

You will get a warning about an irq conflict, you can close it. (this is why we changed the sb16.c file from irq 5 (the busmouse) to irq7.

Select IRQ 7.

Now press the Done button.

press enter. (enter)

At this point NeXTSTEP 3.3 is installed. Pressing enter will sync the disk & reboot the VM. Next you select your keyboard, and you are good to go.

Hopefully this has helped someone out there!
