Actually I was around this to let an ERP company run their software on our XStreamOS illumos distro. Problem is their cobol runtime is for Linux and/or Solaris-sparc. Maybe this has no lower level calls? I'll make tests and let you know ;) Gabriele. Da: Garrett D'Amore A: [email protected] Data: 28 marzo 2013 15.43.21 CET Oggetto: Re: [discuss] Linux binray compatibility I was an "advisor" on this project. The idea was to shim ld.so to replace certain symbols, with a little bit of wrapper to match to illumos symbols. We believed that there were a substantial number of programs that could be fixed to operate this way. Of course programs making direct syscalls (bad practice!) would be busted, but things that just relied on libc might be made to work. There are of course questions about the 18-gazillion other libraries. GUI libraries would probably work fine, since they should have the same symbols and calling conventions on illumos. But callers of other lower level libraries might be more difficult. The same approach could be used for those libraries, but identification of them all was thought to be a non-trivial effort. - Garrett On Mar 28, 2013, at 1:03 AM, Gabriele Bulfon [email protected] wrote: I noticed the project is not updated since 2 years, I'll have a look if it has something interesting. It would be interesting for cases where you can't run lx zones but you need to run closed source linux binaries.
