Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Wed, 18 Nov 1998 11:35:37 -0600 From: Chris Csanady Sender: owner-freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I was wondering if it would be possible to link with Solaris/Intel libraries. Since they are both elf, this should work, right? However, I assume there would still be some kernel compat code to be done. Since Solaris is now free, I would love to be able to use, say, it's motif libraries. :) Chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-emulation Wed Nov 18 15:00:11 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id PAA24475 for freebsd-emulation-outgoing; Wed, 18 Nov 1998 15:00:11 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from namodn.com (namodn.com [207.33.107.203]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id PAA24470 for ; Wed, 18 Nov 1998 15:00:07 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from robert@namodn.com) Received: (from robert@localhost) by namodn.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) id PAA16712 for freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org; Wed, 18 Nov 1998 15:02:00 GMT (envelope-from robert) Date: Wed, 18 Nov 1998 15:02:00 GMT From: Robert Message-Id: <199811181502.PAA16712@namodn.com> To: freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: subscribe freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org Sender: owner-freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org subscribe freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-emulation Fri Nov 20 09:28:50 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id JAA25780 for freebsd-emulation-outgoing; Fri, 20 Nov 1998 09:28:50 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from wall.polstra.com (rtrwan160.accessone.com [206.213.115.74]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id JAA25775 for ; Fri, 20 Nov 1998 09:28:48 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jdp@polstra.com) Received: from vashon.polstra.com (vashon.polstra.com [206.213.73.13]) by wall.polstra.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id JAA03737; Fri, 20 Nov 1998 09:28:18 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jdp@polstra.com) From: John Polstra Received: (from jdp@localhost) by vashon.polstra.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) id JAA18189; Fri, 20 Nov 1998 09:28:18 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jdp@polstra.com) Date: Fri, 20 Nov 1998 09:28:18 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <199811201728.JAA18189@vashon.polstra.com> To: ccsanady@friley-185-114.res.iastate.edu Subject: Re: Using Solaris/intel libraries?

Since they are both elf, this should work, right? No. The libraries were built with Solaris #include files, but your native code is built with FreeBSD #include files. The layouts of key structures (struct stat, the FILE structure, etc.) are different between the two. By the way, this has come up about a dozen times in the mailing lists.
