Hi all!
How do I compile a binary (statically or dynamically linked)
for an earlier version of FreeBSD on my 2.2 system, i.e. for
2.1 or even 1.1?
I had a look at the manpages for cc and ld, but didn't find a clue?
The compatibility libraries are in /usr/lib/compat. Do I have
to specify each library individually? An then, won't the binary
have the wrong path compiled in for the target system?
Thanks,
Patrick
