Hi pals,
I've a box with FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE installed and working pretty
fine. But I really need to use JDK 1.2.2 from Sun. I've seen that the
newest FreeBSD port for the Java Project is to the JDK 1.1.8 version.
I've found the JDK 1.2.2 BLACKDOWN port for FreeBSD, but I got in
trouble installing TOMCAT (servlet). After reading, I noticed that
Blackdown port is still beta and has many bugs.
The point is: I've linux_base6.1 installed in my system into dir
/compat/linux. When I downloaded and de-tarzed (tar xzvf) the JDK 1.2.2
for Linux I expected it to run fine, as I have the linux_base6.1 well
installed.
But the java and javac binaries complained about not finding the
/usr/bin/expr. I thought if I have linux_base6.1 installed on my system
EVERYTHING would work just like I was in a linux box. But now I notice
it isn't true.
My question is: How can I execute Linux ELF programs with near 100%
compatibility when the programas are all located in /compat/linux and some
programs try searching it in thei own linux pathes, like /usr/bin/expr,
that in my system is in /compat/linux/usr/bin/expr.
P.S. Note that a program may requite more than one linux binary to run,
and it would be very anoying to set symlinks in everywhere for a lot of
linux programas.
Thanks in advance,
Joao Paulo Campello.
