Re: Linuxulator: running one's own small Linux in FreeBSD?

[Alexander Leidinger via freebsd-emulation]

Quoting Thomas Mueller <mueller6...@twc.com> (from Mon, 08 Feb 2021 02:51:55 +0000):

Is it possible to run one's own little Linux in FreeBSD by null-mounting directory or partition on /compat/linux?

Short answer: most probably yes.

[...]

Would the Linux C library have to be glibc, or could it be uClibc-ng or (more likely) musl?

It does not depend upon which glibc, but which syscalls / features are used.



Bye,
Alexander.

If it doesn't work because of some missing linux-part in the kernel, you normally have a message in the console/log/dmesg about which part of the linux kernel is not available in FreeBSD. When this happens, you either have the possibility to disable this kind of functionality in your linux-build, or to try to implement something similar in FreeBSD.
