[HECnet] Sunlink DNA

I was going to mention that site. I went through some fun to get Research Unix 9 running, and there was great tips + patches. https://virtuallyfun.com/wordpress/2017/04/01/research-unix-v9/ I had ued Debian 4 to build it, as I found an ?era correct? build environment less of a fight. I think I have a pre-compiled x86 binary in there. https://sourceforge.net/projects/bsd42/files/4BSD%20under%20Windows/v0/SUN3… Sent from my Windows 10 device From: Ray Jewhurst Sent: Friday, 21 September 2018 9:32 AM To: hecnet at update.uu.se Subject: Re: [HECnet] Sunlink DNA Hi, I found this page dedicated to Sun2 emulation using TME.? It has some tips for SunOS. http://www.heeltoe.com/index.php?n=Retro.Sun2 Ray On Thu, Sep 20, 2018 at 5:02 PM, Mark Abene <phiber at phiber.com> wrote: I posted this message yesterday, but for some reason people are telling me it never went to the list.

It's working very nicely, minus networking; bear in mind that TME was originally written to run on a NetBSD host (it's in the pkg collection), and makes use of BPF to implement networking (I seem to remember it also working on FreeBSD). Linux does have a bpf compatibility interface, so I'll see if it can be made to work and follow up with you all. That said, grab TME here:?https://people.csail.mit.edu/fredette/tme/tme-0.8.tar.gz That's the home site, there's lots of info on the emulator?https://people.csail.mit.edu/fredette/tme/ There's also this site, specifically about installing SunOS 4.1.1:?http://www.abiyo.net/retrocomputing/installingsunos411tosun3emulated… DON'T follow those build instructions, they're incredibly old and will get you nowhere fast.? :) Here are my steps: Make sure you have the gtk-2.0 and glib2.0 dev packages installed. Then... mkdir $HOME/tme cd $HOME/tme tar -zxvf your_download_dir/tme-0.8.tar.gz cd tme-0.8 vi libtme/module.c (comment out line 93 "LTDL_SET_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS();", it's no longer needed) and save. ./configure --prefix=$HOME/tme --disable-warnings 'LIBS=-lglib-2.0 -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lX11' export LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/tme/lib (or "setenv LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH $HOME/tme/lib" for csh/tcsh) make make install If everything built and installed without errors, you'll have the install tree in $HOME/tme. From here you can follow the various instructions on the original site above for installing NetBSD, etc. If you ran into any errors either building, installing, or running, just drop me a note, I'd be happy to help! P.S.: I've attached some photos of it booting up! P.P.S: You'll notice it seg fault when you exit tmesh. The original does this too. The author even comments about how there's no "quit" command.
