Does anyone know how I can cross-compile software for a 1999 iMac G3 with a PowerPC processor? Are there resources on how to develop for this CPU and is there any community around it?

    If I had to guess, I’d say that you’re referring to StuffIt archives (with a .sit file extension). They were the most common classic MacOS archive format. Copies of StuffItExpander (free, if I remember correctly) are readily available, however unrar on *nix platforms will also extract them and retain the Mac resource fork according to https://github.com/PiSCSI/piscsi/issues/630 . Good luck!

      That’s the name, yeah.

      Personally I don’t expect to be fiddling with this stuff again anytime soon, although ‘Deja Vu 2’ remains on the tablet unfinished, so far.
