Is there any doc I could read > to see if I can hack this syscall in the emulator? old.lstat is syscall #40, which is the ibcs2_xenix syscall on SCO. You can add hooks from the svr4 emulation code back to the ibcs2 code, but the svr4 module was really written for Solaris x86 instead of SCO. You'll have to make a lot of changes to get SCO binaries to run under it. I tried to get an SCO SVR4 binary to work about 6 months ago but gave up and simply got the vendor to send me a Linux binary instead. Runs fine under the Linuxulator :) -- Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
