daysim on osx

hi

Is there any experience out there to share regarding installing Daysim (Linux version) on a Mac PPC running OS 10.4 ?

Questions:
- Can it be done i.e will a Linux app run on OS 10.4 ?
- If yes to above, which directory is best to install Daysim in (/usr/local/bin?)?
- How great is Daysim ?

It is not possible like that. You can either install an emulator, which will emulate a x86-machine with linux, on your Mac and run it in there, or you have to convince the Daysim-folks to compile a universal binary for OS X. The problem is that Daysim is compiled for an entirely different platform (x86) then yours (ppc).

Hi

I run Dayim on a Macbook Pro (OSX 10.5 and on the earlier 10.4). Current
configuration is to use Parallels Desktop for Mac to run XP 95, then
installed the windows version of Daysim on this. I've also used Apple
Bootcamp / XP / Daysim combination as well.

You run x86 software on x86 hardware. Tom has a ppc machine, so a virtual machine such as Parallels does not work.

Hi Tom,

It's been a while since your original post, I'm behind on reading the
radiance general emails.

A while back I was able to download the linux source code and compile it on
Mac OSX with some minor changes to the makefile. I don't remember what
modifications were, but I think if you try to compile daysim and look at the
errors the necessary modifications can be deciphered.

I used Daysim version 2.2P2 (Linux) to do this.
