[parisc-linux] HP/UX binaries

[Patrick Caulfield]

How do I go about trying to run HP/UX binaries on parisc-linux ?

In particular I would like to get bitkeeper running as there's an HP/UX binary
for that but no HP/Linux port :(

When I try to run the installer (or any of the binaries copied from the HP/UX
installation) I get

crt0: ERROR couldn't open /usr/lib/dld.sl errno:000000015

I've copied dld.sl from HP/UX into /usr/lib and my kernel has support for SOM
binaries in it. Is there anything else I need to do, or is it just not going to
work ?

Bug Larry McVoy about it. :-) Apparently he was considering a palinux
port at some point.

we only support static SOM binaries on palinux....  from binfmt_som.c:

static inline int
do_load_som_library(struct file *f)
{
/* No lib support in SOM yet.  gizza chance.. */
        return -ENOEXEC;
}

no, don't bug Larry about it, he'll bug me for an A500... taggart,
did you have time to look into that yet?

hey all,

Is that bkp sources (command line are enough for me) are available 
somewhere now? (and where?)

Thanks for info,

aha. That'll teach me to read the FAQ rather than the code :-)

i'm not sure the comment is actually right... seems to me that ld.so
on hpux loads the libraries without going through this entry point.
it'd be interesting to test, but i think hpux emulation is broken right
now anyway.
