I have the same problem with Mathematica. However, it's not the libs. Up to now the only solution I found was copying the files to disk and brand them with brandelf. However, I don't want everytime to copy half the CD to disk first. I am looking for an easy way to make Linux's ELF the default (preferably with a sysctl). Though, looking in imgact_elf.c didn't enlighten me.

Then start xmame with the name of the wanted ROMset as argument (pacman is the default compiled in). -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Søren Schmidt (sos@FreeBSD.org) FreeBSD Core Team Even more code to hack -- will it ever end ..

Ah, thanks for the tip. I also had to add the usual fpsetmask(0L); to main() in order to get F4 to not blow the game out of the water (you might feed that back to the maintainers if you're working with them already, as it sounds like you are).

I think you mean sysv ipc right ?? shared mem has been there from the start (needed to play doom :)) One of our Japanese guys (I forgot the name) has committed ipc code to the linuxulator (without my initial concent though), it should work, if its identical to your code I don't know, its apparently from a PR, havn't had time yet to investigate.... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Søren Schmidt (sos@FreeBSD.org) FreeBSD Core Team Even more code to hack -- will it ever end ..

Although I think semaphores can be used to lock your shared memory segments (right?). > One of our Japanese guys (I forgot the name) has committed ipc > code to the linuxulator (without my initial concent though), it > should work, if its identical to your code I don't know, its > apparently from a PR, havn't had time yet to investigate.... > = It would be interesting to see if his ipc implementation works with the app that I was trying to get to work. I'll go and = check it out.
