35 .Nd setup procedure for running OSF/1 binaries
38 supports running OSF/1 (a.k.a Digital Unix, a.k.a. Tru64) binaries on
41 Most programs should work, including the ones that use the shared object
43 Programs that make direct MACH system calls will not work.
44 The OSF/1 compatibility feature is active for kernels compiled with the
49 To run dynamically linked programs, you will need the OSF/1 shared libraries,
50 runtime linker, and certain configuration files found in /etc.
51 These are installed in a
55 Any file operations done by OSF/1 programs run under
57 will look in this directory first, and fall back to the file system proper.
58 So, if an OSF/1 program opens
61 will first try to open
62 .Pa /emul/osf1/etc/svc.conf ,
63 and if that file does not exist it will then try
65 Shared libraries and configuration specific to OSF/1 should be installed
67 .Ss Setting up /emul/osf1
68 The simple technique is to install pkgsrc/emulators/osf1_lib.
70 also want to install pkgsrc/www/navigator and/or pkgsrc/www/communicator.)
72 Alternatively, if you have access to an OSF/1 machine and if the licensing
73 details permit, you can copy the contents of:
74 .Bl -item -compact -offset indent
82 .Pa /usr/lib/X11/locale
85 (The latter is required to run Netscape Navigator or Communicator.)
88 .Bl -item -compact -offset indent
92 .Pa /usr/ccs/lib/cmplrs/otabase/libots.so
97 Or, simply NFS mount the appropriate directories under
113 Without one of those, the OSF/1 resolver will die and no hostname
114 resolution will be possible.
117 .Pa /emul/osf1/etc/svc.conf
118 can cause programs to fail with
119 .Dq Bad system call .
121 Pathnames pointed to by symbolic links are not looked up in the
122 shadow root when running an OSF/1 executable.
123 This is not consistent.
