Contrary to what Geeks on Hugs is telling you, Mac OS X does indeed have a basic malware scanner. It is not a feature that is directly accessible to the user, and works a bit differently than every other malware scanner out there. Aug 18, 2020 Macintosh OS Server 1.0- 1.2v3 based on Rhapsody which is half and half of OPENSTEP from NeXT Computer and Mac OS 8.5.1. The GUI looks like the blend of MAC OS 8’s Platinum appearance with OPENSTEP’s NeXT based interface. This Blue box is for running inheritance MAC OS based applications which have a different window. There was a discussion.

The package was written in Objective-C, an Object Oriented superset of C which is the base language for the NeXTStep environment.

It has a relative direct compatibility with the Mac OS X systems, but for a wide compatibility of the package on widespread Unices, Linux and Microsoft-Windows OSes, the only way to use it is to have a look on the GNUstep project, portage of the NeXTStep Objective-C API. For more informations on this topic see the next part : GNUstep. Without installing this environment, you will not be able to configure the simulator via the Graphical User Interface.

The Simulator was compiled and tested under the following platforms :

  • NeXTStep/OpenStep
  • Sun sparc Solaris (2.7)
  • Linux (SuSEv7.0, RedHatv7.0, Mandrakev8.0, Debian)

The main compatibility problems come from the use of the compiler.

The following sections give system-specific informations:

SUN solaris

The installation was made with the stable GCC v2.95.2 obtained from ftp://ftp.gnu.org compiled with its GCC-ObjC module.

The compilation of the sources should fail, you have to replace the libobjc.a v2.95.2 (find it in /usr/local/lib if you have not configured GCC with particular path (without --prefix)) with the older version

Mac

Mac Os Versions

libobjc.a (v2.81) (lien brisé)

Then the compilation should work, if not, make sure you have the latest version of (GNU) make.

Hugs mac os update

GNU Linux

Mac Os Catalina

The compilation does not run with the native version of GCC (installed by default on user friendly distributions like Red-Hat or SuSE). You will have to download GCC v2.95.2 and (GCC + Core) with the corresponding Gcc-ObjC module.

Mac Os Mojave

Actually the GCC rpm-package is configured for a standard processor (i386), and maybe the via-rpm installed GCC can work on i386 systems.

Tips

a) to display the machine GCC is configured for, type: $ gcc -dumpmachine

Hugs Mac Os Update

b) which version of GCC do you use: $ gcc --version

b) have a look at the gcc-installation notes, the installation procedure is different from a standard install.

c) if you want to revert to the libobjc.a v2.95.2 you can get it here (Solaris 2.7) : libobjc.a (v2.95.2) (lien brisé)
