I This is only a problem if you compile something which needs some libs =20 which aren't available in linux_base. You could make a local =20 port/package out of them and install them to linux_base (programs =20 should install at least a wrapper in the FreeBSD native tree). This =20 would be the cleanest solution. Besides this you can just copy it over to linux_base... > am going to try to make it the linux_base and see how things run. > Just curious, if linux_base-fc4 is going to be the default, why not > make a linux-devtools port that coincides with the linux_base port? We have some ports which conflict with linux devtools. You also want =20 to chroot anyway when developing linux stuff on FreeBSD, else you may =20 get some nasty problems. Picking up FreeBSD native stuff is one of =20 them. Another problem is that the current linux base structure is =20 intended to use parts of FreeBSD where possible (it relies on the fall =20 through to FreeBSD native directories), which isn't given when doing a =20 chroot into it. So I'm grateful we got the linux_dist ports for cross-development =20 stuff, they solve some nasty issues in a nice way. Doing a linux_devtools update is a waste of time in my eyes, but you =20 are free to do it. In case someone does it, please switch maintainer =20 from emulation@ to something else.
