I updated the MOL release with fixes compiling with GCC 4 and better Tiger support

I've just rolled a 0.9.71_pre3 release of MOL to make it easier for users from other distros. This contains all of the Gentoo patches and should work for you in place of the actual release.

You can get the release here:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~josejx/mol-0.9.71_pre3.tar.bz2

Hope that helps, feel free to ask if you have questions. (Unless it's about building on other distros, I can't really help you there.)

I've never tried building it with gcc-4, but if you have some error messages I'll take a look. Email me at my dev email address with the errors.

I am using debian unstable.
Your mol-0.9.71_pre1-r3.ebuild works on my ibook g4 1.2 Ghz (I'll try your mol-0.9.71_pre2.tar.bz, thanks), but I must using gcc-3.4 and build it under root.

I'll try gcc-4 (the default debian unstable gcc) and email you the errors message, thanks again.

Hi.

I have followed instruction and mol work fine, patch ok, but osx don't find my airport card.
No airport hardware found.

There is no other solution than reinstall Osx ?

- Giving mol 256MB of memory helped in my configuration
- is the pci-address 0001:10:12.0 the right one (lspci)?
- in make menuconfig: did you enable pci proxying?

I think it is in /etc/mol/molrc.osx. Do a fgrep 96 /etc/mol/* to find it.

no, I mean "make menuconfig" in the mol directory. It has an own menuconfig dialog. Or didn't you compile it yourself?

btw. I had to compile a Kernel with gcc-3.4 and mol with gcc-3.4 also.

I think you forgot "make install-modules" after compiling mol.

kohzak,
I am not sure if we should discuss debian problem here in a gentoo forum.
For your problem, check if your kernel and mol are built using the same gcc version.
PS: email me or go to http://forum.macbidouille.com/index.php?showtopic=141571

Il seems we don't need "make install-modules".

I've uploaded another tarball here: http://dev.gentoo.org/~josejx/mol-0.9.71_pre4.tar.bz2

It contains a few more fixes from bz31 and other minor things for other distro users. I'll keep updating this tarball as I fix things untill there's a Gentoo release with the same version.

If you have other patches you'd like to see included, please let me know via my gentoo email address. Thanks.

Changelog for all of the MOL versions up to now:
mol-0.9.71_pre4:
* Big filesystem fix is applied in build system instead of the ebuild
* Tiger nvram fix is applied in the build system instead of the ebuild
* Fix for improper binutils handling of some ASM (thanks Bin Zhang)
* Fixed versions and a few minor typos
mol-0.9.71_pre3:
* Tiger Acceleration fix by adding NW compatible NVRAM image
* GCC4 compile fixes
mol-0.9.71_pre2:
* Based on MOL BK development pull
* Build fix for 2.6.9
* Build fix for 2.6.10
* Build fix for 2.6.12
* Scheduler Fixes (fixes lag in newer kernels)
* .tmp_offset patch fixes sandbox issues on Gentoo
* Tiger support (Mattias Nissler's patch)
* PCI Proxy support
* MOL module loading name fix
* Tiger 8GB Disk install patch
* 96MB BootX fix
* XSHM fix
* Sheep building typo fixed
* Probably other minor things

Known Issues:
* Jaguar support is broken (Doesn't boot, probably a driver issue, use pre1-r3 if you need it)
* Installing Panther/Jaguar is broken with the included nvram file (need to make it generic).

when i start mac osx via mol it doesnt find the airport-card !!
i have extracted the driver from the install-cd and patched it (the patch said it was successfull).
The newest mol is installed with the pci-use-flag and pci-proxying is enabled in the mol-config.
I dont know whats wrong ...
Ethernet is working via the tun-device ....


maybee someone has a solution ??

PostPosted: Thu Oct 20, 2005 8:35 pm    Post subject: Linux applications --> AirportExtreme --> Internet Reply with quote

Some OSX config information for linux_applications --> AirportExtreme --> Internet:

In OSX/MOL, go to SystemPreferences:Sharing. Under Internet : “Share your connection from: AirPort”, choose “Ethernet Adaptor (en3)” (It's en3 for me, but maybe en2 for you).

* If you don't use the built-in firewall. OK. It works.
Code:
$ sudo ipfw list
00010 divert 8668 ip from any to any via en1
65535 allow ip from any to any
(no firewall, only natd listens to the port 8668)

* If you start the built-in firewall.
Code:
$ sudo ipfw list
00010 divert 8668 ip from any to any via en1
02000 allow ip from any to any via lo*
02010 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any in
02020 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8 in
02030 deny ip from 224.0.0.0/3 to any in
02040 deny tcp from any to 224.0.0.0/3 in
02050 allow tcp from any to any out
02060 allow tcp from any to any established
12190 deny tcp from any to any
65535 allow ip from any to any
(line 2 to last line is the built-in firewall's default setting).
You should reconfigure the OSX firewall. For example
Code:
$ sudo ipfw add 00020 allow ip from any to any via en3
Note : This disable the built-in firewall's GUI config, if you want use it again, you must first do a "sudo ipfw -f flush", or reboot OS X.
