Linux binaries on FreeBSD
Does Maya for Linux run on FreeBSD via the compatibility layer? Also, does a recent version of Matlab for Linux run on FreeBSD via the compatibility layer? The Handbook only mentions Matlab 6.3, which is very old and dated.

It is what I expected (to use the Linux emulation to run the compiler). But is there a FreeBSD port of it (I do not think that)? Can I use the Linux packaging tools (for example rpm with linux-base-rh*, and dpkg with linux-base-debian)? How?

Building Linux binaries under FreeBSD/Linux layer
I know this is probably going to be an odd question, but is there a way to create true linux shell within FreeBSD, capable of running linux gcc and creating a linux binary? I want to play with Midori Linux, which involves compiling a lot of Linux source, for Linux. Dual booting is out of the question (my FreeBSD box runs the home automation system). I suspect it *could* be done with a carefully configured shell, and a bunch of Linux RPM's installed to support gcc and the assorted libraries. Is this possible, and if so, has pulled a stunt like this? If not, how well does VMware run under FreeBSD, and can you ssh into the virtual machine once it's up?

Re: Building Linux binaries under FreeBSD/Linux layer
Yes, it can be done. It is done by a couple of the ports, and as such there is a pre-ported way of doing it. /usr/ports/devel/linux_devtools and linux_devtools-7 (depending which version of the linux_base you have). After that its mostly automatic. You may need to do things like get kernel-source, or other bits depending on what you are doing. On Wed, 2003-01-22 at 13:22, J.
