This is a SysVR4 emulator derived from work done as part of the NetBSD Project by Christos Zoulas. It has been ported to FreeBSD by Mark Newton. To use it: 1. Choose one of: a. Add "pseudo-device streams" to your kernel config file and rebuild, reboot; or b. Build and install the streams module in /sys/modules/streams 2. Build and install the svr4 module in /sys/modules/svr4 3. Type "svr4" to start it up. 4. Grab compat_sol26.tar.gz or compat_svr4.tar.gz from http://www.freebsd.org/~newton/freebsd-svr4 and install them in /compat/svr4 5. Run "sh SVR4_MAKEDEV all" in /compat/svr4/dev 6. Mount a Solaris/x86 v2.6 or v7 CD-ROM on /cdrom (also works with v2.4 and v2.5.1, but you need different symlinks in /compat/svr4) 7. Brand any executables you want to run, and/or set the kern.fallback_elf_brand sysctl to 'SVR4' to establish this as the default emulator for unbranded executables. 8. See if your SysVR4 programs work. It's early days yet, folks -- You'll probably have trouble getting 100% functionality out of most things (specifically, poll() on a socket doesn't look like it works at the moment, so Netscape doesn't work (among other things)). Patches will be appreciated (use send-pr). - Mark Newton newton@atdot.dotat.org $FreeBSD: src/sys/modules/svr4/README,v 1.3 1999/08/28 00:47:42 peter Exp $ $DragonFly: src/sys/emulation/svr4/Attic/README,v 1.2 2003/06/17 04:28:47 dillon Exp $
