[gentoo-user] [OT] AppleMac in a Virtual Machine?

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 324 bytes --]

Hi All,

I have no experience with vmware and was wondering if there is an equivalent 
application to allow a MS Windows or Linux machine to run OSX.  I need this 
to be able to check what websites look like in Safari (Konqueror comes close, 
but there are differences).

Is there such a thing?

VMware Server can help you. It worked for me some time ago.
Also looks like you can use Virtual PC 2007.

Yes, there is pearpc (http://pearpc.sf.net), but since one of the 
developers died, development seems to have stalled. Anyway, last time I 
checked the current version was able to run OS X 10.3 (don't know about 
later versions).
Since newer OS X versions can run on intel hardware, you might be able to 
run them in vmware, but I also could be completely wrong on this!

Also, you might be able to use qemu. Look here:

http://qemu-forum.ipi.fi

Remember that, according to apple eula, installing OSX inside a virtual 
machine might violate the license.

That implies the opposite of what I am trying to do, which is to run AppleMac 
OS & apps in a virtual machine on my Gentoo or on a MS Windows PC.  The 
pearpc that Etaoin is suggesting seems to be what I am after.  Thanks!

You have several alternatives, one of which is to google for Mac OS X on
a x86 - it is possible to install Mac OS X to a PC (and run it natively
as on operating system in itself), though illegal. One of my fellow
students did it and got most of his laptop's hardware to actually work.
Pretty much everything you do to run Mac OS X on anything else than a Mac
could violate the EULA...

You can also try to download Safari's Windows Version and emulate it
with WINE. I didn't try it so far but it could work and you also don't
need to "purchase" a Mac OS X license.

	Aleks

Why? vmware server runs under linux too, and if Sergey is right you can 
install vmware server under gentoo and then install OSX (x86 version) 
inside it. IIUC, that would be what you're looking for.

I did it :).

One note - you need find ISO with Mac OS X installation in torrent.
Not all images can be started in VMware. Mac OS has strong
requirements to the hardware.

BTW - we are out of mailing list subj :)

I had a look but couldn't find OSX under the OS that run within vmware . . .

Of course! (slaps forehead)  As long as the MS Windows Safari behaves like the 
AppleMac Safari, WINE will probably do the trick (assuming it installs and 
runs).  Will give it a go.  Thanks!

Of course, they can't neither officially support it nor mention it, since 
installing OSX inside anything different from apple hardware violates 
the EULA. But a quick google search for "osx vmware" yelds many results.

It's not supported, but it runs. Just pick FreeBSD and you're done.

I don't really know - back then when M$ still supported their IE for
Mac, IE for Mac would behave differently than IE for Win at least in
some situations.
That said, I _do_ believe Apple programmers still do their job a lot better 
than Microsoft so you should at least get a very good impression of what
your page would look like on a Mac.
