Fine" <czyz@u.washington.edu> Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.netbsd.misc Subject: NetBSD 1.1 Linux binary compatibility... Date: 26 Jan 1996 10:34:11 GMT Organization: University of Washington Lines: 22 Message-ID: <4eaan3$co2@nntp5.u.washington.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: cs120-3.u.washington.edu Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 1.12 (X11; I; BSD/386 uname failed) X-URL: news:comp.unix.bsd.netbsd.misc I compiled my kernel with the option: options COMPAT_LINUX # binary compatibility with Linux uncommented, but have yet to successfully run a Linux binary. A class I'm taking distributes the assignments as header files and objects compiled under Linux, which I'm then supposed to use to test my source. I'm having trouble linking and also unable to run the provided sample executable file, receiving the following error: /a.out: Exec format error. Wrong Architecture. Any ideas? Is there a faq or a chapter in one for Linux binary compatibility (the BSD FAQ I've got is circa 12 Sep 1995, perhaps there's a chapter in a newer FAQ)? Thanks for any and all help. -Zach Fine czyz@u.washington.edu
