Hmmm, Kris, he was talking about running SPARC binaries on i386 :) But maybe it would be possible to run Solaris/sparc binaries on the sparc64 port of FreeBSD. I'm not really aware of how mature that port is, tho I've heard it's making great progress.

Actually they should run fine as long as you "roll your own" emulation environment by copying the necessary libraries and any other needed files from your sun box into the compat directory. The SVR4 kernel binary compatibility layer is not maintained though, so your results may vary. Kris msg13758/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Although not directly related to your original question, you might want to know that NetBSD's pkgsrc (the equivalent to FreeBSD's ports) runs on SunOS, it even runs on Linux. That could help you with having up to date software on the Sun box.

Maybe > there's some opensource equivalent in the FreeBSD ports. I have a SPARC box, but thought of running proprietary SunOS-SPARC- binaries on a much better FreeBSD box (better because it's easier to maintain, upgrade packages and so on, on FreeBSD than SunOS). Guess I'll have to stick with the SPARC.

Are there some kind of emulation program for this? No, the "COMPAT_SUNOS" kernel option deals only with syscall (ABI) compat. I'm not aware of any sparc emulation package. Your best bet would be (if possible) to ssh/telnet/whathaveyou into a sparc box and run the software there. Which program are you intending to run?

SunOS & SPARC
Hi! Is it possible to run SunOS-binaries compiled on a SPARC on i386 FreeBSD? Are there some kind of emulation program for this? Thanks in advance! Best regards, Paul To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
