I found the answer : they disabled it on a kernel base plus removed the files in Lion.
Question is how and where Apple has blocked to run the translate binary. In Lion it will simply bring up the error message that ppc is no longer. In Snow this will tell you to install rosetta to run ppc In Lion and Snow exists a exec file in the directory called RosettaNonGrata : Sudo sysctl -w =/usr/libexec/oah/translate Sudo sysctl -w =/usr/libexec/oah/RosettaNonGrata With packagemaker I could do a Installer for it, that is no the problem.Īctivating the translate executable ( associate it to open ppc apps ) would be done by this :
I have extracted all from SL 10.6 disk via pacifist. Installing only the rosetta pkg in lion installs only the exe ' translate' which is rosetta itself.īut it relies on shims and symlinks to system files I've been poking around to see what frameworks are needed from old SL in order to get Rosetta to work, but I'm still getting errors.ĭoes anyone know if Rosetta is dependent on the Kernel or just frameworks? Also, is anyone else working on Rosetta support for Lion? I've tried installing the SL package of Roestta on Lion and it is a terrible no go.
