With a few hiccups I've got their demo kit to build, but a lot of the Linux binaries I'm building get exterminated when they try to run. I'm using the dev kit from the current Slackware (what a nightmare to piece together 8( ), but I can't use gdb on the programs or on the cores that they produce. Some of these I can get around by building the programs native, but some of them have to be linked with the supplied Linux ELF libraries 8( The failing applications don't actually even raise a peep from the Linux emulator. Here we have 'lmgrd' (works) and 'lmclient' (fails) : rootvegetable:/local0/gsi/flexlm/v5.0/i86_l1>file lmgrd lmclient lmgrd: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 lmclient: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 rootvegetable:/local0/gsi/flexlm/v5.0/i86_l1>/compat/linux/usr/bin/ldd lmgrd lmclient lmgrd: libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5.0.9 lmclient: statically linked (ELF) Should I assume that this is the "what static ELF binary is this" problem? Is anyone working on this, or should I try for a fix? Any further suggestions beyond those raised in the discussions a while back?
