Which is still available via Apple (search for "xcode 2.5" at, requires login),Īgain, I had to burn this to a physical DVD in order to use it with QEMU.īoot the G4 and install the Xcode Tools: qemu-system-ppc \įor PowerPC Macs running Tiger or Leopard. The latest version of Xcode Tools for Tiger/PPC is 2.5, In this step we will set up a development environment for building modern Unix software.Ĭreate a snapshot of the disk: qemu-img create -f qcow2 -b 3-browser.qcow2 4-tigerbrew.qcow2 Shutdown the G4 and mark the disk read-only: chmod ugo-w 3-browser.qcow2 qemu-system-ppc \ĭrag the applications into /Applications. Note: even burning to a physical CD-ROM didn't work - it had to be a DVD. I resorted to burning TenFourFox, VLC, and TextWrangler to a physical DVD and passing it through to QEMU. Note: in retrospect, perhaps this was an APFS vs. cdr images of TenFourFox.app seemed to work with Tiger: Strangely, no combination of using Disk Utility and hdiutil to create. Which is still available from their downloads page. Their website links to the latest version, TenFourFox is a fork of the Firefox web browser which is currently supported on Tiger/PPC. In this step we will install TenFourFox, VLC and TextWrangler.Ĭreate a snapshot of the disk: qemu-img create -f qcow2 -b 2-updates.qcow2 3-browser.qcow2 Step 3: Web browser, video player, text editor Mark the snapshot read-only to prevent accidental writes to it: chmod ugo-w 2-updates.qcow2

If you go with the updates DVD route, make sure you run Software Update at the end just to be sure you've covered everything. If you did not use Software Update, open up the Tiger_Updates "DVD" and install all of the updates:

This install was set up with user macuser and password macuser: Note: this boot may take several minutes to get started. Note: if you plan on using Software Update rather than tiger-updates.cdr, you man omit the -cdrom tiger-updates.cdr line from the above command. We can now use tiger-updates.cdr as a virtual DVD with QEMU.īoot the G4 and create a user account: qemu-system-ppc \

Unzip that file and convert the dmg to a DVD image: hdiutil convert Tiger_Updates.dmg -format UDTO -o tiger-updates.cdr

The manual route is quicker because some of the updates are bundled, and you don't have to wait on Software Update to detect which updates have / haven't been installed yet.ĭownload (on your host Mac) item #29 (Tiger_Updates.dmg_.zip) Or you can download and install them manually. The system updates can either be installed using the Software Update utility (iteratively repeated across many reboots), In this step we will create a user account and install all of the system updates.Ĭreate a snapshot of the disk (think of this as forking the hard drive): qemu-img create -f qcow2 -b 1-fresh.qcow2 2-updates.qcow2 Step 2: User account creation, system updates Mark the disk as read-only to prevent any accidental writes to it (which would cause any snapshots based on this disk to become corrupt): chmod ugo-w 1-fresh.qcow2 When it completes, it will reboot, which will cause QEMU to exit (due to the -no-reboot flag).Īt this point you may (physically) eject the installation DVD (from your host Mac). The install will take quite some time (over an hour). Quit Disk Utility and the installer should now see the newly formatted partition: "Erase" the disk to partition and format it: When the installer reaches the disk selection screen, there will be no disks to choose from, because the disk has not been partitioned yet: QEMU will exit when the installer reboots. Quit QEMU and create a 127GB QEMU disk: qemu-img create -f qcow2 1-fresh.qcow2 127Gīoot the install DVD with the disk attached and being the installation. If you see the grey Apple logo, the DVD is working correctly with QEMU:

iso to a physical DVD and then use -cdrom /dev/disk2, it works.īoot the DVD to verify it works: qemu-system-ppc -L pc-bios -M mac99,via=pmu -m 512 -cdrom /dev/disk2 -boot d iso files of the OS X installation DVD (using -cdrom tiger.iso),īut if you burn that. Note: for some reason qemu does not seem to be able to boot. In this step we will format the disk and perform the initial OS X installation. Note: at some point during this process -cdrom /dev/cdrom seems to have stopped working, but -cdrom /dev/disk2 works. This setup was performed using QEMU 5.0.0 (obtained via brew install qemu). Here are some notes on how I set up an installation of OS X Tiger (10.4)
