For example, mplayer check for SSSE3 but it will fail even if your CPU
supports it because gcc that ships with freebsd (4.2.1) doesnt know about
SSSE3.

I dont know what's happening in your SSE case.
  
vaguely my first thoughts were that the app makes some checks for SSE 
but in the wrong place freebsd-wise.


i thought i'd try mailing the developers now, see if they have some insight.

Linux Compatability

2009-03-18 Thread rasz


hi
i have 2 distinct questions, and first is, i installed a linux app 
(binaries) and it failed

when run complaining that it needs a CPU with SSE instuctions enabled.
does anyone know what this is and related too?
i am running 7.2-prerelease i386 with linux_base-fc4. the only setting i 
have is fallback_elf_brand=3 (no osrelease)

has anyone ever come across this?

2nd question, is the freebsd base (usr/src) documented anywhere, as to 
the programs it entirely contains? i thought developers handbook, but 
all i found is description of the directories in usr/src/ (unless i 
missed it elsewhere). besides that, is there any kind of database app in 
the base system no matter how compact/basic? if not, what would be the 
*closest* in ports?

Regarding the 2nd question...

As /usr/src contains the source of building the userland and kernel, if 
you can always man something that is interesting.


You can also do a man hier, but it will present a description of each 
directory content like the Developers Handbook (although more verbose).


There are also the Makefile and the actual source.

are you CPU SSE capable? if so, probably this app checks capabilities 
through /proc


add this to /etc/fstab
linprocfs   /compat/linux/proc  linprocfs   rw  0   0

and mount /compat/linux/proc

2nd question, is the freebsd base (usr/src) documented anywhere, as to the

exactly those what gets installed :)
it contains sources of whole FreeBSD system (excluding ports).

SSE is an Intel extension to the original x86 instruction set. You can
tell whether your CPU has got it by looking at dmesg(8). E.g mine has
it (and most modern processors do):

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E6550 @ 2.33GHz (2333.34-MHz K8-class CPU)

Did you install your Linux app via ports? If not, then your mileage
with regards getting it going may vary.

2nd question, is the freebsd base (usr/src) documented anywhere, as to
the programs it entirely contains? i thought developers handbook, but
all i found is description of the directories in usr/src/ (unless i
missed it elsewhere). besides that, is there any kind of database app in

You can grovel through /bin /usr/bin to see what programs base installed.

I guess you're looking for an SQL database so you could give
databases/sqlite34 in ports a look but it's a bit difficult to
recommend anything without knowing your needs.

thanks in advance for any info

thanks all for replies, but for the base system stuff i was trying to figure
out things ike what's under
/usr/src/sys/dev/ for instance, and say under dev/sound there is usb, pcm,
etc.
If i man usb i am guessing that only refers to main usb stuff. i got the
impression though that everything under sys/dev/ is likely kernel modules
and man sound was more appropriate, but no info there.

with the linux app, i have an SSE capable  CPU and linproc mounted , even
SSE2 i'm sure, and have  been running  some linux  apps no problem ,
including  ut2004-demo  from ports and even the full linux version if that
is relevant.

the app is not in ports, i just downloaded the installer and edited the
install script to go from /usr/local/bin to /compat/linux/usr/bin. I thought
at this point it was either not finding some libs or something similar but
have no clue as to what.

is there any hope for this to work? and should i be using the rpm installer
? rpm make any difference ?

linux compatability

2002-12-28 Thread Adam K Kirchhoff


Hey folks,

I'm noticing some odd behaviour with the linux compatability
recently.  I have this small gnome app called gnome-run.  It links against
a number of gnome libraries that I've copied from my linux partition over
to /compat/linux and put in the appropriate directories.

The problem is, when executing this app, the linker seems to try
and load the libaudiofile.so.0 file from my FreeBSD installation instead
of my /compat/linux installation.  When running gnome-run it only does
this for that one library (though other apps have shown this to be a
problem with other libraries such as libgmodule-2.0.so.0,
libglib-2.0.so.0, and libgobject-2.0.so.0)

This is what happens when I try to launch gnome-run from an
xterm:

[ adamk@sorrow ~ ]$ gnome-run
gnome-run: error while loading shared libraries:
/usr/local/lib/libaudiofile.so.0: ELF file OS ABI invalid

Well, of course the OS ABI is invalid.  The libaudiofile library
it's trying to load is for FreeBSD, not Linux.  But, if I move the
libaudiofile.so.0 file from /usr/local/lib to /usr/local/lib/old, and
try to launch gnome-run, everything works fine.  So, if the FreeBSD
version of the library isn't present, it then looks for the Linux version.

Any ideas what's going on or how to fix this?

Run /compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig.  That should update the path cache

Didn't help :-(

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  158396 Dec 28 14:33
/compat/linux/usr/lib/libaudiofile.so.0.0.2

Solved it!

It's LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  If you have the same FreeBSD library in your
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, it tries to use that library instead of the linux one :-)

Mikko, thanks for your help.  It was your tip on permissions that got me
to try the app as root.  When I saw that they worked as root, I realized
it had to be something in my environment.

DISCLAIMER - this is from a FreeBSD newbie.

If the program is not Linux-specific (or specific to linux-only
libraries), you might try using generic sources and running 'configure',
then compiling instead of building from Linux sources.

The negative is that the app would not be automagically managed - you
would have to know it was there, look for upgrades, etc.

The missing headers are things I would expect in the Linux kernel sources,
if that gives you any leads.

 SoI obviously don't have the header files... Do I need to install the 
 entire linux src?

There may be a port of just the headers. That should be enough of the
sources to compile. You would need suitable a suitable intermediate
library to link, which takes you beyond my knowledge here. (That point may
actually have passed a few paragraphs ago. 8+P)

Here's a portion of the errors when making the program (by the way, it's

suggesting the atapicam kernel driver will allow cdparanoia to 
work...So I managed to get rebuild the kernel with the driver. Next 
step is to build the application)

In the last episode (Jul 24), Eric Dedrick said:

 Since it would appear that running linux_base-6 and linux_base(7.1) 
are
 mutually exclusive (after all, they run non-compatable versions of 
glibc),
 here's a question:  I have some software I can't upgrade 
(proprietary)
 that requires linux_base-6.  If I install linux software from the ports,
 is it going to require linux_base 7.1?

You should be able to install both ports at once.
 
 Here was the hangup:  In order to install linux_base-6, svr4.ko had to 
be
 unloaded from the kernel.  Once linux_base-6 was installed, svr4.ko 
could
 be loaded again and things still worked just fine.  At least that's what I
 think the solution was.
 
 At any rate, I can run my linux binaries now, though I am still 
somewhat
 dis-satisfied.  Why do things break under 7.1 and not 6?

Dunno. It looks like all your linux binaries got branded to the wrong
type (svr4 instead of Linux), so the svr4 layer grabbed them first if
it was loaded.  Try this:

find /compat/linux -type f -perm +a+x -ls | xargs brandelf -t Linux

, which should rebrand all the Linux binaries to Linux.  It shouldn't
be necessary though.

I changed from 6 to 7.1 when -STABLE did using portupgrade, and 
managed not to break anything in the system, including Opera and 
Acrobat5.  Don't know whether it was just dumb luck, but as a general 
cure for running two versions of any port, especially linux_base, I tend 
to favor it.

 Just to clarify, I mean that using portupgrade will
 (hopefully, and in my experience, almost always) take
 care of your dependencies during the upgrade process,
 thus saving you from the IMO less preferable
 alternative of running more than one version of a
 port.

 Have you tried portupgrade with linux_base (after a
 backup of the old linux_base port skeleton and
 installation of the new one) to see whether Maple
 is happy?

Yup.  portupgrading eliminates ld-linux.so.1, required by maple.  Thanks
for the suggestion, though.

Hm.  It shouldn't, since linux_base and linux_base-6 are different
ports.  Unless you had the RH6 version of linux_base, then installed
linux_base-6, then upgraded linux_base to the RH7 version.  The upgrade
of linux_base would have effectively wiped out the linux_base-6
install.
