What is bad is that Linux binaries don't get to see the complete filesystem. I've been thinking about a unionfs type solution, but haven't been able to spend more time on it. Disabling the path prepending for Linux binaries is not a good solution in general, because you would probably end up trying to link FreeBSD libraries that happen to have the same name as the Linux libraries you're actually trying to link in (assuming dynamic linking in this case). You don't have that problem for static linked binaries. No matter how you linked your binary, you also have possible configuration file conflicts... -- Marcel Moolenaar mail: marcel@cup.hp.com / marcel@FreeBSD.org tel: (408) 447-4222 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
