Install the linux_devel package, then run /compat/linux/bin/sh. This will do all the right things with regards to your search path, with *one* exception. If you run a GNU configure script (or similar), it will find the BSD ranlib, and use that on your Linux libraries. You can circumvent this by making an empty, executable 'ranlib' file somewhere in the Linux executable hierarchy (eg. /compat/linux/usr/bin). Running the Linux-mode shell is fairly important; you can get by without it for simple things, but for more complex stuff you really want to have the right shell. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
