It has been known to work but I HIGHLY recommend NOT doing so. You should use the Solaris libc for running applications on Solaris. > I am trying to port one code from linux to solaris.

Solaris doesn't have an AT&C C library it has the Solaris libc which while it may originally have come from a SVR4 world rather than an BSD or GNU world it is the Solaris libc and is *very* tightly bound to the Solaris kernel. > *Basically I need the equivalent header files for mqueue.h signal.h, > ioctl.h, fcntl.h which can exactly replace the solaris header files from > AT&T C library. > Please tell me is it possible?* Possible but not as simple as replacing a bunch of header files and linking to a different libc (you would have to port the GNU C lib to the relevant Solaris release first) but highly risky and not something I'd recommend. > In linux the above files are the GNU C library part whereas in solaris > they are under AT&T systems. Huh ? /usr/include includes all those headers you asked for. -- Darren J Moffat _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
