Sounds like a lot of work. This is what I did (besides installing
linux_base and linux_devtools)
1) Get JRE to work
in /usr/local/jre/bin edit jre, rmiregister, checkVersion:
#!/compat/linux/bin/sh
[OK, I lied. I said I only changed a single script :-]
create /compat/linux/bin/arch to contain:
#!/bin/sh
uname -m
rm /compat/linux/usr/bin/ldd
2) Get Oracle8i installer to work
set DISPLAY
set TMP
link /compat/linux/etc/mtab to /etc/fstab
It took me a couple of hours, but I didn't spend any time getting an
actual database working. Oracle8i was fairly new at the time and I
wasn't going to waste any time tracing bugs that also existed on Linux.
My primary concern was the Linuxulator :-)
