Virtualising Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Server/Rosetta

The ability to virtualise Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard is important and very useful as it is the only way to use Rosetta(PowerPC) based applications on a modern Macintosh computer. MacStrategy presents a special guide to doing just this. You mustvirtualise Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Server and not the client version. This is a legal requirement by Apple.You are legally allowed to virtualise the server version but not the normal, client version.
This article deals with setting up/installing a virtual machine with Mac OS X 10.6 clean/from scratch. If you would like to transfer an existing Mac running Mac OS X 10.6 to a virtual machine, or take a Mac OS X 10.6 bootable storage device/clone/disk image and convert it into a virtual machine please see this article instead.

Virtualisation Software

  • Parallels Desktop [£69.99 inc VAT - 14 day free trial available]
  • VMWare Fusion [£70.00 inc VAT - 30 day free trial available]
  • Oracle VirtualBox [FREE - Open source under GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2]

Instructions

Some people have reported that if you have a very modern Macintosh computer (one released well after Mac OS X 10.6 existed) it is not easy/possible to install to Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Server in a virtual environment. We're looking into that and will update this article with more information when we have it. We'll test with other Macs as and when we can and update this article accordingly. For this article we have tested using the following Macs:
  • MacBook Pro 15' (Early 2011 model - MacBookPro8,2) [released after 10.6.3]
  • Mac mini (Late 2012 model - Macmini6,2) [released after 10.6.3]
If you do have an older Mac that should support Mac OS X 10.6 but get an error message along the lines of 'Mac OS virtual machines can run only on computers having Mac OS X Leopard (version 10.5.1 or higher) or Mac OS X Tiger (version 10.4.11 or higher) installed' specifically listing 'Problem ID: 397' then follow Parallel's instructions here and try again.

Preparation

NOTE: You will need a Mac with a physical, optical drive to create an ISO disk image of the Mac OS X 10.6 Server install DVD. This does not need to be the Mac you ultimately install the virtual machine on, you just need a Mac with an optical drive to create the ISO disk image of the Mac OS X 10.6 Server install DVD in the first place.
  • Obtain your preferred virtualisation software (see list above)
  • Obtain the Mac OS X 10.6 Server install disc:
    • If you don't have one, it is available by calling the Apple Store (in the UK 0800 048 0408) - you cannot buy it via the Apple online store
    • You need part number 'MC588Z/A' which is specifically 'Mac OS X 10.6.3 Snow Leopard Server Unlimited Clients Single Licence International' (£14.00 inc VAT in the UK) - not the normal client edition (part number MC573Z/A)
  • Create an ISO disk image of the Mac OS X 10.6 Server install DVD:
    1. Go to Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
    2. Insert your Mac OS X 10.6 Server install DVD
    3. In Disk Utility, in the top left, click on the icon for the optical drive not the indented line for the disc volume
    4. Go to File menu > New > Disk Image from device name, where device name is the OS name of your optical drive e.g. disk1
    5. In the save dialogue box enter a suitable filename e.g. 'Mac OS X Server 10.6.3 ISO.dmg'. Leave Image Format with the default setting of compressed.
    6. Wait for the image to be created and then eject the original DVD
    7. Archive/backup the 'Mac OS X Server 10.6.3 ISO.dmg' disc image that you just created
  • Purchase/install/update your preferred virtualisation software
  • Make sure you have plenty of free hard disk space (a basic 10.6 Server install is about ~8.5GB before your own applications and you'll need at least twice that if you need to clone it for multiple installations), so we recommend at least 25GB of free space
  • Make sure your actual, physical Mac has a working internet connection e.g. use a web browser to go to https://www.apple.com and see if you can view a web page
  • Create a dedicated folder to share files/documents with the virtual environment e.g. in your Documents folder create a folder titled '106SharedFolder'

Mac OS X 10.6 is no longer supported with security updates so be sure to follow our recommendations for securing older operating systems, specifically:
  • Don't use Apple Safari as it is no longer updated and thus it is not secure - use a supported web browser e.g. Roccat or TenFourFox
  • Don't use Apple Mail as it is no longer updated and thus it is not secure (unless you are running this virtual Mac specifically to run Eudora use a mail client in your primary OS instead)
  • Don't install unsupported web plug-ins and disable old plugins:
    1. Go to 106 Server HD (or whatever you have named the virtual hard disk) > Library
    2. If there is no folder named 'Internet Plug-Ins (Disabled)', create a new folder named that
    3. Open the 'Internet Plug-Ins' folder and move all the items in it to the 'Internet Plug-Ins (Disabled)' folder
      4. NOTE: To move the files you will need to authenticate as an administrator of the computer.
    4. Restart the virtual machine (go to Apple menu > Restart)

General Notes

  • As it is a server installation automatic login is off by default - you can turn it on in Apple menu > System Preferences > Accounts > Login Options > Automatic Login
  • There are extra folders on the root of the hard disk titled 'Groups' and 'Shared Items' - this is normal, you don't need to worry about them, but do not delete them.
  • There is an extra folder in Applications titled 'Server' - this is normal, you don't need to worry about it - it contains the server administrator software, but do not delete the folder/software.

Install Rosetta-3.1 and CS-Rosetta on Mac OS 10.6

Rosetta Mac Os X Download

A note of my installation in the last 3 days.

Machine: iMac 3.06 GHz, core i3, 4 GB Ram , OS 10.6.4

Part A –Rosetta 3.1

Unlock iPhone Backup Encryption with Ease Remove Screen Time / Restrictions Passcode. Free Download Available for Windows & Mac.

First download Rosetta 3.1, all the bundle stuff.
–uncompress the bundle file, and keep uncompressing all “.tgz” files
Then download corrections for rosetta_source at here: http://zinc.ucsf.edu/~colin/snow_leopard_tools.tar.gz
(see this discussion topic at Rosetta forum : node 1705)
–go to rosetta_source, uncompress the snow_leopard_tool.tar.gz and the uncompressed files will automatically overwrite the files.

— use “scons” to compile and install by command: “scons bin mode=release”

The compilation takes approximately 1 hour.

Stone

NOTE: For Mac users, you can install scons by using Fink.

Second, you need g77 to compile the rosetta_fragments, but even using the unstable packages provided in fink, the x86_64 version of g77 for OS 10.6 is not available. I went to “high performance computing for mac os X” to download g77-3.4 which is a binary file already. No need to compile it by yourself.
(I tried gfortran, a lot of errors occurred, but g77 does good job).

After getting g77 works, go to resetta_fragments/nnmake and type make to have pNNMAKE.gnu compiled. This is required for CS-Rosetta,too.

Part B–CS-Rosetta

Rosetta Stone Update For Mac

First, download the all required compressed file at CS-Rosetta official site.
–chmod 711 install.com if this is not executable.
— run ./install.com and the script will ask you to provide the full path of your rosetta-3.1 (not the path of rosetta_source).

You should see error messages that the install script cannot find some Rosetta executable files and my solution is to make soft links at “rosetta_source/bin”

Install Rosetta On Mac

Do this soft link before installing CS-rosetta.

ln -s AbinitioRelax.macosgccrelease AbinitioRelax.linuxgccrelease
ln -s extract_pdbs.macosgccrelease extract_pdbs.linuxgccrelease

— After installation, you should see something like “no errors found” and put the environmental setup in your csh or tcsh and source/update the shell.

To test the CS-Rosetta, I directly go to examples/input, type: runCSRjob3.com gb3.tab and I got:
