Re: Solaris Binaries on FreeBSD
Bill, Yes, you can. You will need a copy of the Solaris shared libraries, which are not freely available. Poke around Sun's site for their $10 personal edition of Solaris X86. This will give you the libraries. Then search the freebsd-emulation archives for details on how to make this work. Regards, Michael Hi, I was wondering if we can run Solaris Binaries on our great OS? I've heard that OpenBSD can do it. If FreeBSD will, what do I need to do this?

Re: Solaris Binaries on FreeBSD
Are you the author of this emulation? I was wondering because Sun is now shipping Solaris 7.0, will this work? BTW I am running CURRENT Bill [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: Mark Newton [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Bill A. K.

Grab a copy of the Solaris/x86 libraries from Sun (they'll ship you a CD set for $10 which includes SPARC and x86 binaries). Then look at http://www.freebsd.org/~newton/freebsd-svr4/ to see how to make it work. Note that the module sources on the web page have not been tested with 3.x for a very long time. You really ought to be running -current to expect this to work. - mark Mark Newton Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (W) Network Engineer Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (H) Internode Systems Pty Ltd Desk: +61-8-82232999 "Network Man" - Anagram of "Mark Newton" Mobile: +61-416-202-223 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
