How to run 32 bit FreeBSD compiled apps on 64 bit
I have a simple program say Hello world , i have compiled it on 32 bit FreeBSD and it dynamically links to libraries(I cannot make it statically linked due to some requirements), now when i run it on AMD64 i get ELF interpreter /libexec/ld-elf32.so.1 not found. How to fix it, i searched and found out i shud install lib32 on my 64 bit machine. How to install lib32's and from where ??

32 bit and 64 bit freebsd binary compatiblty
Binary compiled on 32 bit not running on 64 bit machine. Actually i am using *sysctl* call and the *kinfo_proc* structure from user.hin include/sys , size of structure on 32bit is 768 and on 64 bit is around 1180 and thats why the call is failing and application coredumping. Can anyone tell how do we handle this situation??? Is there any way or i have to compile my code on 64 bit machine?? Keep in mind there can be many such structure..

The app needs 32-Bit libraries tu run on 64 Bit. I suggest you link your program statically against libraries that are not part of the base system.

How can i add it to rc.conf file, is there any command? There have been a lot of suggestions here and the thread contains all the valid information, but some people have given you deprecated advice. So I'll try to clarify what can be done and how it's meant to be done. 1. Your own scripts belong int /usr/local/etc/rc.d, if you update your system it will suggest to delete all custom scripts from /etc/rc.d, because it's only for scripts from the base system. Remember that path will not be set when your script is called at startup. The usual approach is to only use fully qualified filenames. 2. All executable scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d are executed at startup and given the parameter start. Upon shutdown the parameter stop is given. The name of the script does not matter. 3. To this point you have all the functionality you asked for and there is no need for you to look further. However you are at liberty to instead build a compliant rc.d script, which brings you the advantages of controlling the execute order by defining dependencies and being able to activate/deactivate scripts and additional parameters in the file /etc/rc.conf. If you wish to exploit these advanced features it's a good way to look at existing scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d and read the rc(8) manual page. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: script to be executed on system startup.
i dont want to go with the rename option, as if tomorrow i want to add more scripts to run at startup i will be in a mess. I will tell in detail so that it would be easy for you to understand my problem :- Intention is that the script file should be called at both startup and shutdown. In Linux after doing :- 1. Copying the script to /etc/rc.d directory. 2. /sbin/chkconfig --add scriptname While startup scriptfile is called with parameter *start* and while shutdown it is called with parameter *stop.* So i check the parameter value in the script and if it is start , i run my executables and if it is stop i gracefully exit from my executables. I want to achie same thing in FreeBSD.

Depending on the version of FreeBSD, put your script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d and if you are using earlier than 6.XFreeBSD name the script chckconfig.sh You can name it in the same in 6.X and 7.X and it will work. Be sure the script is chmod'd (usually 755) to execute. Since your script runs without a known environment be sure to either use full pathnames for executables or set the path in your script. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by *MailScanner* http://www.mailscanner.info/, and is believed to be clean.

Trying to support my product on FreeBSD
Hi , My product is successfully running on Linux( all most all versions) and HP- UX and Windows . *It is 100 % C++ code*. I am planning to support it on FreeBSD, i have two queries : 1. *How to build my code into binaries* on FreeBSD , i have my unix make files. Just to give an idea i have around 200 cpp files and they complile to 5 binaries . I am using multithreading(posix on linux) and sockets heavily. I dont want to run my application in linux mode, i have clear cut instructions to have BSD specific binaries.I have to see what is the difference between Linux and Free BSD in terms of file management, their structure, threading model etc. 2.* How to package the binaries*(RPM sort of thing). Idea is to provide a package to user who can install them binaries using this package by issuing single command. Please let me know if there is anyother forum where i can get answers to my queries, as i will be needing lot of help in near future. *Help will be appreciated.* Thanks, Navneet ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
