|
||||
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||
NetBSD supports running SVR4/iBCS2 binaries. This code has been tested on
|
||||
i386 and sparc systems. Most programs should work, but not ones that use
|
||||
the /proc filesystem, sound, or threads (unfortunately ttsession uses threads).
|
||||
.\" XXX: What else?
|
||||
|
||||
The SVR4 compatibility feature is active
|
||||
for kernels compiled with the
|
||||
.Nm COMPAT_SVR4
|
||||
option enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
Most SVR4 programs are dynamically linked. This means that you will
|
||||
also need the shared libraries that the program depends on and the
|
||||
runtime linker. Also, you will need to create a "shadow root"
|
||||
directory for SVR4 binaries on your NetBSD system. This directory
|
||||
is named /emul/svr4. Any file operations done by SVR4 programs
|
||||
run under NetBSD will look in this directory first. So, if a SVR4
|
||||
program opens, for example, /etc/passwd, NetBSD will
|
||||
first try to open /emul/svr4/etc/passwd, and if that does not exist
|
||||
open the 'real' /etc/passwd file. It is recommended that you install
|
||||
SVR4 packages that include configuration files, etc under /emul/svr4,
|
||||
to avoid naming conflicts with possible NetBSD counterparts. Shared
|
||||
libraries should also be installed in the shadow tree.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The simplest way to setup your system for SVR4 biraries is:
|
||||
|
||||
.Bl -tag -width 123 -compact
|
||||
.It 1.
|
||||
Make the necessary directories:
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Bl -tag -width 123 -compact -offset indent
|
||||
.It (me@netbsd) mkdir -p /emul/svr4/{dev,etc}
|
||||
.br
|
||||
.It (me@netbsd) mkdir -p /emul/svr4/usr/{bin,lib}
|
||||
.br
|
||||
.It (me@netbsd) mkdir -p /emul/svr4/usr/openwin/{bin,lib}
|
||||
.El
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.It 2.
|
||||
Copy files from an svr4 system:
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Bl -tag -width 123 -compact -offset indent
|
||||
.It (me@svr4) cd /usr/lib
|
||||
.br
|
||||
.It (me@svr4) tar -cf -\ . | \e
|
||||
.in +5
|
||||
.It rsh netbsd 'cd /emul/svr4/usr/lib; tar -xpf -'
|
||||
.in -5
|
||||
.El
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
If you are running openwindows:
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Bl -tag -width 123 -compact -offset indent
|
||||
.It (me@svr4) cd /usr/openwin/lib
|
||||
.br
|
||||
.It (me@svr4) tar -cf -\ . | \e
|
||||
.in +5
|
||||
.It rsh netbsd 'cd /emul/svr4/usr/openwin/lib; tar -xpf -'
|
||||
.in -5
|
||||
.El
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.It 3.
|
||||
Setup the configuration files and devices:
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Bl -tag -width 123 -compact -offset indent
|
||||
.It (me@netbsd) cd /usr/src/etc/etc.svr4
|
||||
.br
|
||||
.It (me@netbsd) cp netconfig nsswitch.conf /emul/svr4/etc
|
||||
.br
|
||||
.It (me@netbsd) cp SVR4_MAKEDEV /emul/svr4/dev
|
||||
.br
|
||||
.It (me@netbsd) cd /emul/svr4/dev; ./SVR4_MAKEDEV all
|
||||
.El
|
||||
.El
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
An alternative method is to mount a whole svr4 partition in /emul/svr4
|
||||
and then override with other mounts /emul/svr4/etc and /emul/svr4/dev.
|
||||
.Sh BUGS
|
||||
Many system calls are still not emulated.
