Ola Persson stands accused of saying: > > Has anyone got wabi for Linux running with the Linux emu in FreeBSD ? There was discussion some time back about a copy being obtained and someone working on the issues. I haven't seen anything recently. > First of all, the script /opt/abi looks for /proc/meminfo, a program that > exists on a linux system and is a plain textfile containing information > about systemmemory. Is it a program or a textfile? 8) Actually, it's neither. We could possibly simulate this, or at least fake it. Care to describe its format? > Ok, I skipped that and tried to run /opt/wabi/bin/wabiprog, and first the > console yells lots of Linux-emul(248): modify_ldt() not supported That's correct. It looks like it would have to be implemented. This would be an excellent beginner's project; modify_ldt() and the BSD functions i386_set_ldt and i386_get_ldt are all clearly documented in their respective manpages. > nyone got this working, or do we have to wait for the guys hacking on the > linux-emu to hack on it some more ? :) If you don't think you can do this (hint; should take less than 10 lines of code), then someone who can needs a copy of Wabi (hint hint). > | Ola Persson | For finger info: smurfen@best.ludd.luth.se | -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
