Hi all. I have posted this question on the forums, and it was suggested that I post it here. I am currently porting Altera Quartus II design software to FreeBSD. I have got it installing, but running the binary requires /proc/cpuinfo to exist, and it dies when it can't find it. I have both procfs and linprocfs mounted. As a workaround (read hack) I can do the following to make the binary execute. 1. unmount procfs. 2. symlink /compat/linux/proc/cpuinfo to /proc/cpuinfo Since this problem has no doubt come up before, what is the best way to get around this issue? Cheers, Benjamin
