I've done this once for one application and would be glad to share
my experiences with it:
First is to find out if it's a dynamic or static linked library,
use ldd for it:
[~] edwin@p6>ldd `which navigator-linux-4.76 `
ldd: /usr/local/bin/navigator-linux-4.76: not a dynamic executable
This is a staticly linked executable, I don't know what to do with
it, just run it and hope it goes right (maybe it *does* automaticly
go right because it's staticly linked executable)
vs
[~] edwin@p6>ldd `which realplay`
/usr/local/bin/realplay:
/lib/libNoVersion.so.1 => /lib/libNoVersion.so.1 (0x28172000)
libXp.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXp.so.6 (0x28177000)
libXmu.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6 (0x2817e000)
libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x28191000)
libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x2819d000)
Here you have some work to do: find out if the libraries are available.
Use locate for it:
[~] edwin@p6>locate libNoVersion.so.1
/usr/compat/linux/lib/libNoVersion.so.1
and so for the rest. If you stumble in a file which you don't have,
check the ports-collection: For example, libgdk-1.2.so, it's
installed when you install the x11-toolkits/linux-gtk libraries.
It might, or might not, be an complex task, depending on how lucky
you are. But it sure is a good way to find your way in the
ports-collection again :-)
