I've just been given a whole bunch of binaries that had been compiled under FreeBSD 3.4 and asked to make them run under our modern 4.10 systems. I'm considering a couple of options + was hoping for some commentary on them: 1) setup a chroot environment with the old 3.x system (using the destdir directive on a 3.x buildworld) 2) Copy over the old libraries and install them in the usual places Are there any kernel options I need to ensure that the old libc will work? Where can I find these old sources? (I haven't looked yet, just thought I'd ask if someone knew offhand.) Thanks, Jon p.s. please reply to me directly as I do _not_ subscribe to the list.
