Furthermore, egcs is in the sourcetree for -current. I don't think that making a special port for egcs is a good idea.

For specifics on making a port, see http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/porting.html Also, if egcs is needed for the ports, just make sure you add USE_NEWGCC=YES in the port Makefile. This will cause a dependency on gcc 2.95.1 on -STABLE only (since -CURRENT already has egcs).

OF course, I grabbed the Linux 2.2 kernel version of Netscape and found out I didn't have all the right libraries, it worked by installing the linux-base-6.0 from http://www.freebsd.org/~marcel/ all it really required was to remove /compat/linux first. I also had staroffice installed... (cause I wanted/need to write papers). Anyway it worked fine with Linux-base-5.2 after following all the instructions under... http://www.serv.net/~mcglk/staroffice-install.html I went over the instructions again and patched up my fresh /compat/linux so it would look at staroffice for libraries, etc. but now when I try to run starOffice it appears to try and load but then it exits saying: "Bad System Call" Any idea about what this bad system call is or how to find it in order to give you guys more info? did upgrading to Linux-base-6.0 change things enough that I need to completely re-install staroffice? or is it just because Linux-base-6.0 is still beta and that call is waiting to be implemented?

On my FreeBSD 3.1 this was not installed per default. But the sources are at /usr/src/usr.bin/doscmd/ I did a make; make install and started reading the man pages. But I can't get it to work. I have make a small (the recommended) .doscmdrc but when trying to run doscmd I always get doscmd: Cannot boot from C which is disappointing:( I have run the dosemu from the ports, it seemed to work but from what I understand doscmd is the better way to go. /Micke ---------------------------------- Michael Josefsson, MSEE mj@isy.liu.se This message was sent by XFMail running on FreeBSD 3.1 ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-emulation Fri Oct 15 5:24:37 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org Received: from thomson.iqm.unicamp.br (thomson.iqm.unicamp.br [143.106.13.161]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 84AC814CDE for ; Fri, 15 Oct 1999 05:24:31 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from fabio@thomson.iqm.unicamp.br) Received: (from fabio@localhost) by thomson.iqm.unicamp.br (8.9.3/8.9.2) id KAA46358; Fri, 15 Oct 1999 10:24:27 -0200 (EDT) (envelope-from fabio) From: Fabio Cesar Gozzo Message-Id: <199910151224.KAA46358@thomson.iqm.unicamp.br> Subject: Overcoming 2GB limit in linux To: freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org Date: Fri, 15 Oct 1999 10:24:27 -0200 (EDT) Cc: fabio@iqm.unicamp.br X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL43 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hello all, This may be a Linux emulation FAQ, but I didn't find an answer by searching the mailling list.

There's nothing at first sight that adds such a limit to the linuxulator. You may want to check the sources if lseek is used or not. If so, try llseek instead. -- Marcel Moolenaar mailto:marcel@scc.nl SCC Internetworking & Databases http://www.scc.nl/ The FreeBSD project mailto:marcel@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 Oct 15 8:53:42 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org Received: from ns.sagem.com (frontal.sagem.com [62.160.59.33]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6F83C15493 for ; Fri, 15 Oct 1999 08:53:36 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from jean-philippe.luiggi@sagem.com) Received: (from uucp@localhost) by ns.sagem.com (8.9.3/8.9.3/at-19990630) with UUCP id RAA04582 for emulation@FreeBSD.ORG; Fri, 15 Oct 1999 17:38:35 +0200 From: jean-philippe.luiggi@sagem.com Received: from mlksrv07.mlk.sagem.fr ([134.20.0.57]) by acces_in.sagem.fr (8.9.3/8.9.3/cc-19990810) with SMTP id RAA30967 for ; Fri, 15 Oct 1999 17:33:31 +0200 Received: from 134.20.0.216 by mlksrv07.mlk.sagem.fr (InterScan E-Mail VirusWall NT); Fri, 15 Oct 1999 17:41:36 +0100 (GMT (heure d'été)) Received: by delta.sagem.com(Lotus SMTP MTA v4.6.4 (830.2 3-23-1999)) id C125680B.00559B24 ; Fri, 15 Oct 1999 17:35:02 +0200 X-Lotus-FromDomain: SAGEM To: emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Message-ID: Date: Fri, 15 Oct 1999 17:34:14 +0200 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Sender: owner-freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org unsubscribe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-emulation Fri Oct 15 9: 4:20 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org Received: from dingo.cdrom.com (castles553.castles.com [208.214.165.117]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B7310157C7 for ; Fri, 15 Oct 1999 09:04:04 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from mike@dingo.cdrom.com) Received: from dingo.cdrom.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by dingo.cdrom.com (8.9.3/8.8.8) with ESMTP id IAA03374; Fri, 15 Oct 1999 08:55:45 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from mike@dingo.cdrom.com) Message-Id: <199910151555.IAA03374@dingo.cdrom.com> X-Mailer: exmh version 2.0.2 2/24/98 To: Fabio Cesar Gozzo Cc: freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Overcoming 2GB limit in linux In-reply-to: Your message of "Fri, 15 Oct 1999 10:24:27 -0200." <199910151224.KAA46358@thomson.iqm.unicamp.br> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Fri, 15 Oct 1999 08:55:44 -0700 From: Mike Smith Sender: owner-freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org > Hello all, > > This may be a Linux emulation FAQ, but I didn't find an answer > by searching the mailling list. > I'm running a Linux program under -stable and it usually > try to create a file bigger than 2 GB, but then it stops > with a "writing failure" message when the file reachs 2GB. > I know this is a Linux limitation, but > is there a way to overcome this 2GB file size limit under the > Linux emulation ? No. We are compatible with Linux, and that means that we have the same limits it does. > I also have the source code for this program, but porting > to FreeBSD is "no way" at the moment.
