Date: 25 Dec 1999 03:37:28 +0100 Message-ID: <841al8$1tfo$1@bigeye.rhein-neckar.de> To: freebsd-alpha@freebsd.org Sender: owner-freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I gather FreeBSD/alpha has grown an OSF/1 emulation. (?) I maintain the ksh93 port, which alas has to use pre-compiled executables provided by AT&T. On i386, statically linked BSD/OS binaries work fine. AT&T also offers OSF/1 binaries. Since I don't have access to FreeBSD on alpha, I need to enlist somebody else's assistance to check these out. Go to , follow the link "Non-Commercial License Agreement and Available Software [ Binary ]", choose ast-base-97 and ast-base-99 with operating system "UNIX: Dec Alpha OSF/1" for download. Questions: Can the ksh93 executables be made to work on FreeBSD? Are they statically or dynamically linked? Special kernel options and/or Tru64 shared libs required? -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
