Solaris 2.6/Intel binaries on Linux i386?
We have a number of Intel machines running Solaris 2.6. We would like
to convert them to Linux but we have one proprietary application that
is available to us only as a binary. The Linux systems recognize the
format as an executable but, naturally enough, cannot execute it directly.
bash-2.02$ file proprietaryApp
proprietaryApp: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
I checked the ibcs-base package and even got the sources for the
latest ibcs release from tsx-11.mit.edu but it doesn't seem that iBCS
is what I would need to run a Solaris binary. At least I didn't
recognize anything there that looked like Solaris.
Is it possible to do enough matching up of libraries, entry point
names, etc. to run the Solaris/Intel binary on GNU/Linux system? (To avoid
confusion, let me reiterate that this is Solaris for _Intel_. I'm not
trying to run a SPARC binary on an Intel machine.)
