running linux programs
if i want to run a linux program that is not offered in the linux-* collection, can i compile it so that it will be run through the emulator rather than as a freebsd program? for instance, i want to run chessdb (a maintained version of scid which is in the ports) and there is a tarball for unix: ChessDB-3.6.18.tar.gz UNIX/Linux tarball. (http://chessdb.sourceforge.net/downloads/) but it doesn't seem to compile properly on freebsd. i was wondering if i could compile it in linux, but there doesn't seem to be any compiler present in /compat/linux ... -- In friendship, prad ... with you on your journey Towards Freedom http://www.towardsfreedom.com (website) Information, Inspiration, Imagination - truly a site for soaring I's ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You'd have better chances if you ask those questions at freebsd-emulation@ ML.

running Linux programs under FreeBSD
Hi List What exactly are the implications of running linux programs eg. Oracle, SAP for Linux on FreeBSD ? Does FreeBSD emulate linux, is this safe and what about performance ? Could someone possibly direct me to more specifics on how FreeBSD handles Linux compatibility please? Many thanks.

Check out chapter 20 of the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/linuxemu.html It seems to cover all your questions.
