Re: Solaris emulation

[Gabor Zoltan Csejtey <Gabor.Csejtey@idi.ntnu.no>]

Good news.

I managed to run my small program. I tried to run bigger ones 
e.g. netscape (4.72), matlab(5.3), but not succeeded yet...

There was a problem with the directories in /usr/gnemul/solaris.
I found some helpful pages under these locations:

http://www.ultralinux.org/

Thanks for the suggestions.

PS.

I have a Solaris 8.0 system Ultra Sparc 5-10.

The essential directories:

under /usr/gnemul/solaris

bin -> usr/bin
etc
lib -> usr/lib
sbin
usr

usr:
bin
dt
lib
openwin
platform

I copied some *.so libraries from the Solaris sytem under the corresponding 
directories in Linux. (http://www.ultralinux.org/faq.html#q_9_6)

to check you have a working emulation try:

/usr/gnemul/solaris/bin/uname
	SunOS

ldd /usr/gnemul/solaris/bin/uname
	libc.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libc.so.1
	libdl.so.1 =>    /usr/lib/libdl.so.1

ldd /usr/gnemul/solaris/bin/ldd
        libelf.so.1 =>   /usr/gnemul/solaris/bin/../lib/libelf.so.1
        libc.so.1 =>     /usr/gnemul/solaris/bin/../lib/libc.so.1
        libdl.so.1 =>    /usr/lib/libdl.so.1

Copy these files as well from /bin (in Solaris)
