Probably you are the first to try this. I had slight success just now with mksh-static built for linux-i386: # brandelf util from package freebsd-buildutils bash-4.2$ freebsd-brandelf -t Linux mksh-static bash-4.2$ ./mksh-static $ echo hello hello $ exit Although, the shell seems buggy as it will hang after launching any executables (anything other than built-in functions). To run a dynamically-linked mksh, ld needs to be found at /compat/linux/lib/ld-linux.so.2. Maybe it is possible to create a full set of (sym)links inside /compat/linux/ to suit the paths used by multiarch? But the ld which ships with squeeze and wheezy fails with "FATAL: kernel too old" (we are emulating 2.6.16 syscalls). Probably a special one is needed, perhaps from the FreeBSD linux_base port? If someone can get this working, it should be quite impressive how many things work, and with near-native performance (or better!) : http://phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_games_bsd&num=2 Regards, -- Steven Chamberlain ste...@pyro.eu.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bsd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
