The purpose of this repository is to build a version of the Twelf logical framework that can be run in the "Classic Mac" environment of approximately System 7 era. The current emulation target is a Quadra 800 running System 7.5.3.
Status:
- ✅ Twelf runs and can typecheck simple signatures that are typed in by hand
- ✅ Application and document icons exist
- ✅ File IO (Open, Save) is implemented
- ✅ Scrolling of the input document works
- ✅ Selection of output text works
- ✅ Copy/Paste is implemented
- 🚫 Revert doesn't work yet
- 🚫 Unsafe Eval doesn't work yet
Much thanks to agoode for explaining a lot of this.
I'm using Retro68 to compile C to run on an emulated mac. I build qemu 8.2.2 from source with
sudo apt install libglib2.0-dev libpixman-1-dev libgtk-3-dev libasound2-dev libslirp-dev
mkdir build
cd build
../configure --target-list=m68k-softmmu --enable-gtk --enable-pixman --enable-slirp
make
I needed to put in this directory:

On linux cross-compile host:
cd docker
make Twelf.binOn linux cross-compile host:
make serve # spawns a local web serverStart MacOS guest with ./qemu-macos. Inside MacOS guest:
- Launch Netscape Navigator from
Saved HD. - Go to
http://10.0.2.2:8000/(this is the host-local web server) - Download
Twelf.bin - Expand it in Stuffit Expander to create app named
Twelf.
