Here's my cliff notes on setting up linux compat:
1) make sure you're running on a kernel whose config file
has `options COMPAT_LINUX' in it. If not, then re-config, rebuild,
and reboot.
2) make sure you have a set of linux shared libraries. Friday
afternoon I intend to import my port of linux libraries.
then it should just be to make install from
/usr/ports/emulators/linux_lib. or get the port from the port
ftp/www server.
At any rate, your linux libraries must be installed in
/compat/linux/{lib,usr/lib}.
NOTE: linux libraries *must* be ZMAGIC, although it appears that
binaries can be either ZMAGIC or QMAGIC.
3) make sure you have a /usr/bin/linux, if not do a `make all install'
from /usr/src/lkm/linux. run /usr/bin/linux (as root). You
should get output something like:
(jake)$ sudo linux
Linux emulator installed
Module loaded as ID 2
(jake)$
4) run your favorite linux binaries. I have personally run
doom, Wingz, Xess, and Maple. I've made ports of Wingz, and
Maple.
Here's a sample run of a linux kermit:
(jake)$ uname -a
FreeBSD jake 2.2-CURRENT FreeBSD 2.2-CURRENT #0: Mon Oct 30 14:57:30 CST 1995
erich@jake:/usr/src/sys-atalk/compile/JAKE i386
(jake)$ file kermit
kermit: setgid Linux/i386 demand-paged executable (ZMAGIC) not stripped
(jake)$ ./kermit
C-Kermit 5A(190), 4 Oct 94, for Linux
Copyright (C) 1985, 1994,
Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York.
Type ? or HELP for help.
C-Kermit>quit
(jake)$
