Hi all,
I am running FreeBSD-2.0.5 and have been playing around with
Linux emulation. I got xdoom up and running by just following
the instructions and loading the stuff from the CD.
Now I am trying to get a linux filemanager up and running.
Why do that you ask? Well, I don't have the motif libraries
and there is a statically linked linux binary available so
I thought that I'd give it a go. (PS If anyone wants to
statically link a version of this and put it up for ftp I
would also be very interested - the applicaton is called moxfm
and is a 'port' of xfm to motif. From the WWW page it looks
very nice. URL is http://ips105.desy.de:8765/~mai/moxfm)
Anyway, after grabbing some more shared libs, I tried to start
things up,
(1) When first trying I didn't have the app-defaults in the
correct spot (it is compiled with R5 libs and was looking
in X386/lib/app-defaults) and the application window was
coming up OK but I couldn't start a file window.
(2) I figured out that the app-defaults weren't being read (by
the large number of couldn't find pixmap messages) so I fixed
that up and strange things started to happen (I presume because
it can now find it's pixmaps..)
putte:~> moxfm
moxfm: using incompatible library '/lib/libc.so.4'
Desire minor version >= 6 and found 5
Warning: locale not supported by C library, locale unchanged
Undefined C library functions:
1. light C shared image (Use the real one instead.)
This seemed to indicate that an older version of the shared
libc was being used. I installed libc.so.4.6.27 and fired things
up but this time I got a segmentation fault.
Anybody got any ideas?
Regards, Mark
