Greetings! I am evaluating the use of FreeBSD for some clients of mine and am intrigued by the claim of support for SCO UNIX 3.2.2 binaries. I have enabled support in /etc/rc.conf and have tried starting to piece together appropriate support in /compat/ibcs2 but have not successfully run ANY binary pulled off the SCO system. I have tried banner, bc, cal, logname, tar Running file on these binaries shows that they are 80386 COFF executables. Execution of these files results in an Abort trap (2.2.2 system) or Abort (3.0 system) message. >From the mail archives I gleaned some hints that the following might be required under /compat/ibcs2 (although it seems strange that /compat/ibcs2/dev/null should be a regular file): # ls -lR /compat/ibcs2 total 2 drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Sep 22 14:27 dev drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Sep 22 14:38 shlib /compat/ibcs2/dev: total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 9 Sep 22 14:21 XOR -> /dev/null lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 7 Sep 22 14:26 nfsd -> socksys -rw-rw-r-- 1 root wheel 0 Sep 22 14:26 null lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 9 Sep 22 14:27 socksys -> /dev/null crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 41, 1 Sep 22 14:27 spx /compat/ibcs2/shlib: # Searching the mail archives I see that some have successfully run a number of major SCO applications. Am I missing something? Thanks for your help! -Mark Schwenk
