cringemaster Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I happened accross a Stuffit archive (on an infamous torrent site) with the source code to System 7.1 yesterday, and after checking it out it all seems very legit. There are numerous references to "Super Mario", and a few other recognizable code words. Unzipped, everything is about 30 mb, zipped, its a little more than 2 . It appears to be written in C or some form of it, and everything is there to compile it (Xcode, anyone?) including makefiles and a few "important notes" dating back to 1992. The reason this is really intruiging to me is that not only is the OS code there, all the drivers and everything are there as source as well. I dont know what to do with this, or if this will help anyone so If you have any ideas, make a post (or drop me a pm for a, uh, "closer look" at it ) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/59936-what-could-i-or-you-do-with-the-source-code-to-system-71/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

cringemaster Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 Yes, I know this source code you speak of. You do? Oh yeah, thanks to me your ratio was saved, at least for now... I'm sure out of curiosity you grabbed it too, eh? 14 mb wasn't too much for your paltry ratio, was it?

Paranoid Marvin Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Well, er, no. Â I think distributing Apple source is a little bit to much.

U.C. Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Maybe you compile it for Intel. I have no idea, but it could work.

OMX-Knuckles Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 It would be a bit more complicated than recompiling it... IIRC much of the OS was written in assembly so you'd need to recode everything from 68k calls to x86.

Embio Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 wasnt 7.1 also an m68k/PPC universal binary? the main problem I can see with an Intel recompile is drivers... or rather the lack of them. wrappers for Rhapsody x86 could be shoehorned into working maybe?

bxsci(macuser) Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 how do you go about compiling something like this anyway?
