I've had a good deal of success getting Mozilla to build straight out of the nightly source tar files: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/mozilla-source.tar.gz I recommend installing the jpeg and png libraries out of the ports tree and using a ~/.mozconfig with the following lines: ac_add_options --with-jpeg ac_add_options --with-zlib ac_add_options --with-png You may want to add: ac_add_options --disable-debug ac_add_options --enable_optimize More information can be found at http://www.mozilla.org/build such as a handy .mozconfig generator among other things.

The problem is generally that linux ports (Oracle, SAP, ...) depend for proper work on a Linux environment not just the libs. So where to start (just the libs) and where to end (the complete RH6.1)? FE: Usually I get best results in compatibilty (without too much hacking the shellscripts) when creating an linuxuser account with /compat/linux/bin/*sh as loginshell. But since the searchpaths are the ones under /compat/linux/* afterwards no native FreeBSD binaries are found unless specified exacly (/usr/bin/more instead of more)...

Strange phenomen accessing a CDROM contents under linuxerator
Hi, looking at directories on a mounted CDROM returns fewer files under the linuxerator as watched under a native account. What I did: I have burned my /usr/bin content on CD using mkisofs. (mkisofs ...-d -D -l -L -N -r -T... if this is of interest but I could reproduce the same effect with foreign CD's too) As user root: # mount -tcd9660 /dev/acd0c /mnt/acd # uname FreeBSD # ls /mnt/acd/usr/bin/ | wc -l 425 # su - linuser # A user with /compat/linux/bin/tcsh as loginshell) # uname Linux # ls /mnt/acd/usr/bin|wc -l 28 ??? It seems that the entries dont miss randomly but get cut after some point. FreeBSD is -current, Linux is linux_base and linux_devel from ports. Kernel and (linux)module are in sync.

Looks like this phenomenon isn't connected with CDROM.

Quickie question on UDMA/33
I looked through the archives but I didn't see much current on the subject (esp. under 4.0). I have two different machines, both with AsusP5A motherboards and Western Digital Caviar hard drives that should support UDMA/33, as should the Chipset. Both boot up, trying UDMA mode, throwing ICRC READ ERROR's then kick back down to PIO mode 4. They each have _different_ Caviar drives, one's running 66 MHz on the motherboard (older K6/2-300) the other 100 MHz (newer K6/2-450). FWIW, the Sony DVD-ROM in the latter machine also dislikes running at DMA mode. Bios's are set to do auto-chose pio/dma modes. I've resolved to simply adding in the rc to reset them to pio mode, to get it over with (but I still get the errors at boot-up prior to the rc doing them). I simply use 'device ata' etc. forms in the knerel config. Thanks dmesg Copyright (c) 1992-2000 The FreeBSD Project.

I was thinking about that too. Maybe you can make a few Linux library
ports ("linux_graphics" etc.) so people who want to do something small
don't necessarily have to install the whole enchilada.

I don't think we should be breaking up the current linux_base or linux_dev
ports, because those are (supposed to be) default Redhat installs so
redhat linux binaries get the environment they are expecting.
For additional packages, having monolithic RPM sets seems to me to be
bloat - why can't we set up a 1-1 mapping of RPM to package, perhaps by a
single "portal" redhat rpm port which grabs an RPM from the redhat site
(possibly choosing from a list as an option), munges it to extract the
PLIST and installs it?
I've suggested a similar "portal" port for the p5-CPAN ports in the
past: they're packaged by CPAN with all the information we need to know to
build a FreeBSD package, it's just a matter of munging the information in
the right way.

Perhaps it's time to revisit something I proposed several years ago. Remove Sendmail from the base system - or, at least, make it a "package" that is removable with the package management tool. Then be able to add another mailer (or an updated Sendmail) in its place. Ideally, Sendmail would be available as a package for installation as part of the base system, just like games or info or proflibs. I would love to see this happen with other components of the system as well, such as BIND. While it is fantastic that FreeBSD comes out of the box so fully functional, it does make it a bit of a pain for those of us who intend to build servers - we have to disable the original before installing a new package. :-/ -- ...

If you want to install the latest Sendmail, what do you do? (hint: it has nothing to do with mailwrapper) I'd like it to be something like: # pkg_delete sendmail; pkg_add sendmail Right now, to do a chrooted sendmail, not only do you have to remove the pre-existing sendmail: # chmod 000 /usr/sbin/sendmail /etc/sendmail.cf (etc etc) but you also have to do some things to install it chrooted someplace safe.

Changing modes on files doesn't bother me so much, but I'd prefer not to do it. The ideal situation would be where sendmail did not come installed by default. -- ...

not all dirs visible under Linux emu
Hello everybody! Although I konw that this thread has moved to -emulation but I would like to throw in just a last piece of information... I think we are looking at different issues here... the thing that several files are not shown in the *same* filesystem and directory is the part I do not understand. However, the fact that the file selector dialogs seemingly do not show all dirs is a different matter, at least here. If you cd to a dir which also exists under /usr/compat/linux then you will be taken there instead of the "real" one. So, if you cd to /usr, which is shown in the file selector panel, then you will be immediately and transparently placed into /usr/compat/linux/usr. This behavior has been observed here since at least 3.3 or so... the odd thing is that install scripts and programs often see the paths the correct way now, so eg earlier you could install StarOffice only to /usr/compat/linux/whatever, because the install program did not see the other dirs. Now it does. So does the install shield of RealPlayer7. So, I would say, a partial improvement over previous behaviour already... (Using 4.0-STABLE of April 3rd, linux_base is the one from ports, which is current now.) Just a datapoint, in case someone is interested...
