You - will need the Linux shared libraries that the program depends on - and the runtime linker. Also, you will need to create a - shadow root directory, - /compat/linux, for Linux libraries on your - FreeBSD system. Any shared libraries opened by Linux programs - run under FreeBSD will look in this tree first. So, if a Linux - program loads, for example, /lib/libc.so, - FreeBSD will first try to open - /compat/linux/lib/libc.so, and if that does - not exist, it will then try /lib/libc.so. - Shared libraries should be installed in the shadow tree - /compat/linux/lib rather than the paths - that the Linux ld.so reports. - - Generally, you will need to look for the shared libraries - that Linux binaries depend on only the first few times that you - install a Linux program on your FreeBSD system. After a while, - you will have a sufficient set of Linux shared libraries on your - system to be able to run newly imported Linux binaries without - any extra work. - - - - How to Install Additional Shared Libraries - shared libraries - - What if you install the linux_base port - and your application still complains about missing shared - libraries? How do you know which shared libraries Linux - binaries need, and where to get them? Basically, there are 2 - possibilities (when following these instructions you will need - to be root on your FreeBSD system). - - If you have access to a Linux system, see what shared - libraries the application needs, and copy them to your FreeBSD - system. Look at the following example: - - - Let us assume you used FTP to get the Linux binary of - Doom, and put it on a Linux system you have access to. You - then can check which shared libraries it needs by running - ldd linuxdoom, like so: + &linux; 系統中， ldd 可以用來決定應用程式需要哪個。 + 例如，檢查 linuxdoom 需要哪個共享程式庫，從安裝 Doom的 &linux; 系統中執行這個指令： - &prompt.user; ldd linuxdoom + &prompt.user; ldd linuxdoom libXt.so.3 (DLL Jump 3.1) => /usr/X11/lib/libXt.so.3.1.0 libX11.so.3 (DLL Jump 3.1) => /usr/X11/lib/libX11.so.3.1.0 libc.so.4 (DLL Jump 4.5pl26) => /lib/libc.so.4.6.29 - symbolic links - You would need to get all the files from the last column, - and put them under /compat/linux, with - the names in the first column as symbolic links pointing to - them. This means you eventually have these files on your - FreeBSD system: + + symbolic links + + + 然後，複製所有 &linux; 系統輸出最後一欄的檔案到 &os;系統的 /compat/linux 。 + 複製完後，建立符號連結到剛剛輸出第一欄的名字。這個例子會在 &os; 系統產生以下檔案： - /compat/linux/usr/X11/lib/libXt.so.3.1.0 + /compat/linux/usr/X11/lib/libXt.so.3.1.0 /compat/linux/usr/X11/lib/libXt.so.3 -> libXt.so.3.1.0 /compat/linux/usr/X11/lib/libX11.so.3.1.0 /compat/linux/usr/X11/lib/libX11.so.3 -> libX11.so.3.1.0 /compat/linux/lib/libc.so.4.6.29 /compat/linux/lib/libc.so.4 -> libc.so.4.6.29 -
- - Note that if you already have a Linux shared library - with a matching major revision number to the first column - of the ldd output, you will not need to - copy the file named in the last column to your system, the - one you already have should work. It is advisable to copy - the shared library anyway if it is a newer version, - though. You can remove the old one, as long as you make - the symbolic link point to the new one. So, if you have - these libraries on your system: + If a &linux; shared library already exists with a + matching major revision number to the first column of the + ldd output, it does not need to be copied + to the file named in the last column, as the existing library + should work.
