Macintosh Software for Macintosh Plus and Mini vMac.

Contentsįollowing are links from the Mini vMac project at The Gryphel Project: Following are links to various resources you can use to emulate a vintage Macintosh. It’s still possible to run HyperCard on a vintage Macintosh emulator, like Mini vMac or Basilisk. HyperCard was one of the most ground-breaking software applications on the early Macintosh. This page will be updated as new resources are found and/or included in blog articles. If you find Mini vMac useful, please consider helping the Gryphel Project,of which it is a part.This is a reference page for a series of articles on emulating the vintage Macintosh computers of the late 1980s, and in particular, HyperCard. All of these options have been removed and replaced with developer optionsto the configuration tool. The Setup Tool Configurationpage lists such choices. setup.sh”, and then Mini vMac can becompiled with “make”.īesides “-t”, the configuration toolaccepts many more options, listed onthe Mini vMac Options page.The Develop page hasmore options useful to developers and maintainers.īefore compiling the configuration tool, youcan insert definitions into “setup/CONFIGUR.i”,such as to specify what development environment youare using.

In a unix like system,such as Linux on x86-64,it can be compiled using something like“gcc setup/tool.c -o setup_t”, then run with somethinglike “./setup_t -t l圆4 > setup.sh”, and the outputrun with “. The source for the configurationtool is in “setup”folder.

#Mini vmac variations archive

Forlack of time, and that I’m no expert in all developmentenvironments either.įirst download the source code archive from the downloadpage, a file with the name like“minivmac-3x.xx.src.tgz”.Extract from this file to get a folder.(Whose contents are described in the Contents of the source distribution page.) Third, if you are not familiar with your chosendevelopment environment, I can not teach everyone in that position. If you want goodperformance, you will need to try out various compiler options, seewhat is fastest, and then thoroughly test to make sure that itworks correctly.

Second, for alldevelopment environments besides the set of GCC cross compilers thatI use, the build system just tries to configure it for maximum chance ofworking correctly, and not for performance. So, when you compileyour own copy of Mini vMac, you will need to test it thoroughly,and find a fix for any problems yourself. Further, new versions of development environmentsreleased later may cause further problems, which won’t becorrected before the next branch of Mini vMac. I tryensure that Mini vMac can compile with other development environments atthe time of final release of a branch, but the results are not testedtoo thoroughly.

Compiling with other development environments may encountercompiler bugs and Mini vMac bugs that only some compilers trigger. Warning : This is not recommended unless you are a programmerfamiliar with the C language and your chosen development environment.First, the versions I provide (the standard Variations and the Variations Service),which are compiled using a specific version of GCC, are much bettertested.
