Hi,
I downloaded Star Office 5 and only THEN realised that the code for doing linux
thread
emulation is #ifndef SMP :) Still, after downloading 70 meg over a 56k modem
and paying
19c/meg I was gonna try the sucker regardless.. And well, it works!
The install hung at the end, after its done everything, so I killed it, but
after that I
can run it with (seemingly) no problems.. (Except for the 2000 odd 'shared
address space
fork attempted' messages in my syslog)
I only had a quick fiddle, but it started up everything fine and ran quite
well..
The install was a pain tho, as I had to unpack the setup program (its a self
extracting
zip) and rename the libs in it to lower case and then add an LD_LIBRARY_PATH to
point to
them, but apart from that it was OK.
Its worth noting though, that eMusic which uses Linux threads doesn't work under
emulation (it just hangs) I think I'll boot a non-SMP kernel and have a go
('cause it
took me an hour to find all of the $...@$ dependancies it needs because Linux
ldd doesn't
work anymore)
