System Shock 1 source code released under GPL

Agreed, at least make sure it will still compile with line endings changed before submitting pull requests.

This builds with CodeWarrior 10 (from 1996) which is probably OK with non-Mac line endings, but there are other old Mac codebases on GitHub using older toolchains that require CR. (i.e. Pararena 2: http://bslabs.net/2016/11/13/building-pararena/)

A PPC Mac running OS X 10.4 is basically the only way to work with both git and classic Mac dev environments, I'll be trying this out myself.

I still have my Power MachTen CD. I used to love wasting time porting GNU/Linux source to that odd ball environment.

A year or two ago I built dropbear on Power MachTen, worked great and just needed a couple fixes to bring it back into compatibility with GCC 2.x.

Playing around with Professional MachTen (for 68k) is a real trip though. 4.3BSD, an even older GCC, and it implements virtual memory and protection by taking over the system memory manager. (You actually have to restart when quitting it)

It would be so cool to have something like MachTen on iOS, some people have tried but the restrictions on executable pages really restricts things.
