I've been playing with Open Watcom for a bit in FreeBSD and for a
while there's been one stumblim block for further advancement. Watcom
uses a method for storing program messages etc. where these messages
are stored as a "resource file" inside the executable itself. As the
commands are usually invoked without the canonical path, the tools
cannot find the resource portion stored inside.
This far I've been looking for some solutions from which none seem to
work too well. vn_fullpath (9) is running only inside kernel I think,
and with the approach using kvm_openfiles and kvm_getprocs I can only
get the command without the path (there are vnode etc. structures
inside the kinfo_proc structure, but those seem to be unavailable from
user space). Of course /proc might help in here, but I rather kept the
code compilable on very vanilla system.
Any pointers on how to proceed would be welcome.
