Some things that are not currently +supported are proprietary extensions made to the BSD/OS kernel. +.Pp +To activate the BSD/OS compatibility feature, the kernel must be compiled +with the +.Nm COMPAT_BSDOS +option enabled. +.Pp +.Nm COMPAT_BSDOS +follows the standard +.Dq emul +filesystem scheme, using +.Pa /emul/bsdos +as the prefix. This means that all BSD/OS executables first look in +.Pa /emul/bsdos +whenever opening a file; configuration information, shared library images, +etc., for BSD/OS binaries should all be installed under the emulation +directory in order to avoid conflicts with native files. +.Pp +Although many commercial BSD/OS binaries are +.Dq pure +(in that they need no shared libraries), system binaries and those +compiled/linked with the +BSD/OS +.\" no .Xr here because we don't have junk like shlicc. +.Nm shlicc +program require the appropriate shared library images. These may be +found in the +.Pa /shlib +directory on a BSD/OS system, and must be copied to +.Pa /emul/bsdos/shlib +in order for such binaries to work. The user is responsible for having +the appropiate BSD/OS licenses in order to use the shared library images. +.Sh BUGS +If BSDi ever manages to port their system to more architectures or switch +to real dynamically linked libraries these instructions may have to change. +.Pp +.Nm COMPAT_BSDOS +is currently only supported on the i386. |
