if i want to run a linux program that is not offered in the linux-* collection, can i compile it so that it will be run through the emulator rather than as a freebsd program? for instance, i want to run chessdb (a maintained version of scid which is in the ports) and there is a tarball for unix: ChessDB-3.6.18.tar.gz UNIX/Linux tarball. (http://chessdb.sourceforge.net/downloads/) but it doesn't seem to compile properly on freebsd. i was wondering if i could compile it in linux, but there doesn't seem to be any compiler present in /compat/linux ... -- In friendship, prad ... with you on your journey Towards Freedom http://www.towardsfreedom.com (website) Information, Inspiration, Imagination - truly a site for soaring I's
