So, I think I'm done with the guide for installing #Previous on a #RaspberryPi (5). If you like, you are welcome to run through it and give me feedback on any errors or inconsistencies. I played through the process myself using this documentation and it worked for me. But that doesn't have to mean anything! Because there are a lot of things I might have taken for granted that I hadn't thought of.
I look forward to your feedback! 
LAYERED.workNeXTSTEP: On a RPi 5🇩🇪 Deutsche Version… In this guide, I’ll show you step-by-step how to install NeXTSTEP 3.3 on a Raspberry Pi 5 using the Previous emulator. This guide is based on Raspberry Pi OS Lite to create a minimal system that boots directly into the NeXTSTEP interface after startup. NeXTSTEP is often…

OMG... #ProjectBuilder! I started with this software on Mac OS developing Objective-C.

Finally, I got #NeXTSTEP 3.3 running on a #RaspberryPi 5 with #Previous emulator. It was a loong road to go!
Next step (g): Enable color mode.

And one of the most interesting things about the PA-RISC based HP-9000 712 series is its Color Recovery system (allowing approximated 24-bit color from an 8-bit framebuffer -- which is effective and fascinating) and also, for me, the fact that it runs NEXTSTEP.
It's my fastest NEXTSTEP machine.

HP sold HP 9000 712/60 PA-RISC workstations bundled as HP Developer’s Station in 1996.
Included was a standard 712/60 with 17" CRT, 32MB RAM and 1GB drive, bundled with the C SoftBench IDE for C developers plus HP ANSI C, DDE debugger, linker etc.
"Why settle for less! Now you can get a complete Hewlett-Packard PA-RISC developer’s workstation — fully configured with the world’s premier UNIX development software — at one unbeatable low price." [which was not disclosed]

NeXTSTEP on a 712/100XC is quite fast. For some special video modes of the HP 712/715, NeXTSTEP provided specific support, e.g. the 4096-color-virtual-million-color-modes.
www.openpa.netNeXTSTEP on HP 9000 PA-RISC Computers – OpenPA.netNeXTSTEP was a Unix operating system from the late 1980s based on Mach microkernel with an advanced GUI and supported 32-bit PA-RISC computers in the 1994 3.3 release.

NextStep: The Visionary OS, Steve Jobs’s Apple Exodus, and the GNUstep Legacy
NextStep was a pioneering operating system and development environment created by NeXT Inc., the company founded by Steve Jobs following his departure from Apple. Released in 1989, NextStep introduced technologies and design principles that would heavily influence modern computing.

Ah yeah, no way to build p7zip without (p)threads, and I certainly don't know how to shim in NEXTSTEP Mach threads (maybe similar to what old p7zip code does for BEOS).
No one seems to have ever ported GNU pth to Nextstep either.
There's a passing mention of the existence of a threads compatibility library in a forum thread, but I haven't seen any links to actual code: https://jort.link/www.nextcomputers.org/forums/index.php?msg=16828
So no 7zip benchmark for NeXT machines, short of maybe installing NetBSD/next68k to that end?
It seems no one has ever built a binary of p7zip for Nextstep?
(At least I couldn't find any in the usual archives.)

I think I'll work on a dual system : wood panels and PLA sides so it's either modular and fast to work : the flat wood panels from 3 or 4 mm plywood in 1 cut and the sides in 3d prints also in 1 fast print with no infill, and some screws/glue/nails would do it faster

This is the NeXT computer. Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau used it at CERN to set up the first web server, id Software developed games like Doom and Quake on it, and at Slovenian daily newspaper Delo they used it to digitize the entire newspaper production process.
The 3D-printed case just arrived from PCBWay. So happy about what this NeXTStep on a Raspberry Pi5 projet is turning into ! #retrocomputing #nextstep #raspberrypi5 #3DPrinting #previous
In the museum, we also have a well-preserved box containing the NeXTSTEP 3.1 operating system and its documentation. 
Originally developed for NeXT workstations, version 3.1 was the first to support the i386 architecture.
