COMPAT_OSF1
option enabled (see
options(4)).
To run dynamically linked programs, you will need the OSF/1 shared libraries,
runtime linker, and certain configuration files found in /etc.
These are installed in a
``shadow root''
directory called
/emul/osf1
.
Any file operations done by OSF/1 programs run under
NetBSD
will look in this directory first, and fall back to the file system proper.
So, if an OSF/1 program opens
/etc/svc.conf
,
NetBSD
will first try to open
/emul/osf1/etc/svc.conf
,
and if that file does not exist it will then try
/etc/svc.conf
.
Shared libraries and configuration specific to OSF/1 should be installed
in the shadow tree.
Alternatively, if you have access to an OSF/1 machine and if the licensing details permit, you can copy the contents of:
/shlib
/usr/shlib
/etc/sia
/usr/lib/X11/locale
(The latter is required to run Netscape Navigator or Communicator.)
Also copy
/etc/svc.conf
/usr/ccs/lib/cmplrs/otabase/libots.so
/sbin/loader
Or, simply NFS mount the appropriate directories under
/emul/osf1
.
search
line.
Without one of those, the OSF/1 resolver will die and no hostname
resolution will be possible.
Certain values in
/emul/osf1/etc/svc.conf
can cause programs to fail with
``Bad system call''.
Pathnames pointed to by symbolic links are not looked up in the shadow root when running an OSF/1 executable. This is not consistent.
