It appears linprocfs used to be a port, and was merged into FreeBSD itself. The port had some simple install stuff in its Makefile: LINUX_DIR= /compat/linux CATEGORIES= emulators MAINTAINER= vns@delta.odessa.ua DISTNAME= linprocfs MASTER_SITES= http://www.enst.fr/~beyssac/freebsd/ WRKSRC= ${WRKDIR}/sys/modules/linprocfs MAKE_ARGS= "KMODDIR=${PREFIX}/modules" STARTUP= ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/linprocfs.sh pre-install: [ -d ${PREFIX}/modules ] || mkdir -p ${PREFIX}/modules ${LN} -s /sbin/mount_std ${PREFIX}/sbin/mount_linprocfs ${ECHO} "Installing ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/linprocfs.sh startup file."; ${ECHO} "#!/bin/sh" > ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/linprocfs.sh; ${ECHO} "[ -x ${PREFIX}/sbin/mount_linprocfs ] && kldload ${PREFIX}/modules/linprocfs.ko && ${PREFIX}/sbin/mount_linprocfs linprocfs ${LINUX_DIR}/proc && ${ECHO_MSG} -n ' linprocfs'" >> ${STARTUP} ${CHMOD} ${BINMODE} ${STARTUP} ${CHOWN} ${BINOWN}:${BINGRP} ${STARTUP} This doesn't seem to occur anywhere in FreeBSD 4.2 (the port is not present). >How-To-Repeat: Just try to use a Linux binary that depends on /proc, like VMware, /usr/ports/emulators/vmware2 >Fix: Include like a two line file in the product: /usr/src/etc/rc.d/linprocfs.sh #!/bin/sh [ -x /sbin/mount_linprocfs ] && kldload /modules/linprocfs.ko && ${PREFIX}/sbin/mount_linprocfs linprocfs /compat/linux/proc linprocfs' and/or have sysinstall add a line to /etc/fstab something like linproc /compat/linux linprocfs rw 0 0 It should be simple, relative to everything else in FreeBSD, which means a bit too hard and I'm not sure exactly what to do. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
