Hi: I have a Linux S/W tool. It seems to basically consists of an API that my code calls to gain certain functionality. The API is implemented in object files/binaries/libraries that are either linked into the code or shared. (I am still reading through documentation, so I don't have it all figured out yet.) This is supposed to run under Linux, so I believe that the libraries were probably compiled under Linux, and are expecting to be called from programs running under Linux. Will all of this run without modification due to FreeBSD's Linux compatibility? Are there compiler options that I have to use to make this work? (Obviously, I never done anything like this before) I have looked at Makefiles for Linux ports and they specify linux libraries and the Linux-base package as necessary. Don't these specifications get passed through to the compiler? Do I create a Makefile or compiler options file that will pass the necessary info/options to the compiler? Basically, what do I have to do to create/compile/run programs that use libraries developed on Linux. Any info or, a clue on where to find info, is greatly appreciated.
