I've bumped into a library I can't resolve and I must have a disconnect in how the linux_compat works because I can't see how it could be solved.


I found that using FreeBSD Port fam for the daemon with openSUSE 10
fam 2.7.0 for my /compat/linux/lib/libfam.so* worked. Other fam versions
from other linux distributions failed. I'm able to detect file
changes with a linux binary that employs libfam.so. I tested it using the
fileschanged application provided with the linux fam version. qbmonitord
also works with this configuration.

I have the following:
* compat_linux enabled in the kernel,
* /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base_fc7
* sysctl kern.fallback_elf_brand=3
* rpm2cpio to alter rpms
* cpio to create the directories and place the files where they belong in /compat/linux.

I have a program that now has all it's libraries resolved but one in
preparation to attempt to run the Linux Quickbooks install on FreeBSD.
The ldd output, prior to installing /usr/ports/devel/fam (a required shared
library) looks like this.

ldd ./opt/qbes7/util/qbmonitord
./opt/qbes7/util/qbmonitord:
        libfam.so.0 => not found
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x28072000)
        libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x28088000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x28171000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x28198000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x281a4000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x28054000)

I install fam to get rid of the not found, perform the following link:
        ln /usr/local/lib/libfam.so.0 /compat/linux/lib/libfam.so.0

and then I get this:

ldd ./opt/qbes7/util/qbmonitord
./opt/qbes7/util/qbmonitord:
./opt/qbes7/util/qbmonitord: error while loading shared libraries: / lib/libfam.so.0: ELF file OS ABI invalid
./opt/qbes7/util/qbmonitord: exit status 127

which kind of makes sense since this library is not a linux library. I'd read that I don't need to brandelf -t linux a library but I tried that anyway, realizing it was likely meaningless (or harmful). It didn't help of course.

My next thought was to try and get a libfam.so.0 binary from a linux distro but stopped when it occurred to me that it would be illogical since fam uses kqueue on FreeBSD rather than something called imon. imon is not available for FreeBSD so a linux version shouldn't be able to function if it expects that. On
FreeBSD, fam configures itself to not use imon.

What is the appropriate course of action to get a linux flavor shared library for fam (or anything which runs into such conflicts) that will work on FreeBSD
yet be recognized as suitable for linux under the compat mode?
