This applies only to m68k systems (such as hp300 systems). Most programs should work, such as Matlab 4.2c and the HP-UX X11R5 server. Programs that will not work are fairly uncommon, and often involve very low level hardware access. .Pp The HP-UX compatibility feature is active for kernels compiled with the .Dv COMPAT_HPUX and .Dv COMPAT_M68K4K options enabled. HP-UX for m68k uses 4 KB page sizes, and .Ox for all m68k platforms now use 8 KB page sizes. .Pp A lot of programs are dynamically linked. This means that you will need the HP-UX shared libraries that the program depends on. Also, you will need to create a .Dq shadow root directory for HP-UX binaries on your .Ox system. This directory is named .Pa /emul/hpux . Any file operations done by HP-UX programs run under .Ox will look in this directory first. So, if a HP-UX program opens, for example, .Pa /etc/passwd , .Ox will first try to open .Pa /emul/hpux/etc/passwd , and if that does not exist open the .Sq real .Pa /etc/passwd file. It is recommended that you install hpux packages that include configuration files, etc, under .Pa /emul/hpux , to avoid naming conflicts with possible .Ox counterparts. Shared libraries should also be installed in the shadow tree. .Pp Generally, you will need to look for the shared libraries that HP-UX binaries depend on only the first few times that you install a HP-UX program on your .Ox system. After a while, you will have a sufficient set of HP-UX shared libraries on your system to be able to run newly imported HP-UX binaries without any extra work. .Ss Setting up shared libraries How to get to know which shared libraries HP-UX binaries need, and where to get them? Basically, there are 2 possibilities (when following these instructions: you will need to be root on your .Ox system to do the necessary installation steps). .Bl -enum .It You must have login access to an HP-UX system. These instructions apply to HP-UX 9.10 (the latest version of HP-UX available for m68k-based systems), although the instructions should be similar for earlier versions of HP-UX. By far, the easiest method is to copy the essential files locally to your .Ox system. .Pp Use tar, or a similar utility to collect the following files: .Bl -item -compact .It All files in the .Pa /usr/lib directory ending in .Li ".sl" . There should be about 46 files and two soft links. .It All files in the .Pa /lib directory ending in .Li ".sl" . There should be 5 files. .El .Pp Now, you need to copy these files to your .Ox system, and extract them into .Pa /emul/hpux , for example, you should end up with the following files: .Bl -item -compact .It .Pa /emul/hpux/lib/dld.sl .It .Pa /emul/hpux/lib/libc.sl .It .Pa /emul/hpux/lib/libm.sl .It .Pa /emul/hpux/lib/libM.sl .It .Pa /emul/hpux/lib/libcurses.sl .It And a whole bunch of files in .Pa /emul/hpux/usr/lib . .El Overall, HP-UX 9.10 has about 10 MB of shared libraries that you will have ended up copying to your system. .It You have access to an HP-UX system with its entire root drive exported via NFS. In this case, you simply mount the entire HP-UX system under .Pa /emul/hpux . For example, on your .Ox system, you might mount it as: .Dl mount -t nfs hpux-host.test.net:/ /emul/hpux Note that, in this case, the HP-UX emulation will use the configuration files from the HP-UX system .Pq Pa /etc/passwd , for example and this might not be what you want. .El .Ss Setting up X11R5 Although the .Ox based X11R5 server is the preferred way to run X on your system, you might want to run the HP-UX X11R5 server instead. To do so, you will need to grab a few additional files: .Bl -item -compact .It .Pa /usr/bin/X11/X .It .Pa /usr/lib/grmd .It The shared libraries in .Pa /usr/lib/X11R5 .It .Pa /usr/lib/Motif1.2/libXm.sl .It All the subdirectories and files in .Pa /usr/lib/X11/fonts .It All the files in .Pa /usr/lib/X11/nls/Xhp .It All the files in .Pa /usr/lib/X11/extensions .It .Pa /usr/lib/X11/XHPKeymaps .It .Pa /usr/lib/X11/XHPmodmap .It .Pa /usr/lib/X11/XPCmodmap .It .Pa /usr/lib/X11/XKeysymDB .It .Pa /usr/lib/X11/Xconsoles .It .Pa /usr/lib/X11/X0screens .It .Pa /usr/lib/X11/X0devices .It .Pa /usr/lib/X11/X0pointerkeys .It .Pa /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt .It .Pa /usr/lib/X11/rgb.dir .It .Pa /usr/lib/X11/rgb.pag .El .Pp You'll also need to perform a few configuration steps: .Bl -enum .It Get and extract the .Pa xbase.tgz set for your version of .Ox to provide the X11R6 clients you'll be using with your new X server. .It Create the following directory for the X server to deposit its socket files in: .Dl mkdir -p /usr/spool/sockets/X11 .Dl chmod 777 /usr/spool/sockets/X11 .It Add the following lines to your .Pa /etc/rc.local to create the necessary directories for the X server to deposit its files in, when your system boots: .Dl mkdir /tmp/.X11-unix .Dl chmod 777 /tmp/.X11-unix .Dl ln -s /usr/spool/sockets/X11/0 /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 .It You may also want to link your X server to a more convenient location, such as: .Dl ln -s /emul/hpux/usr/bin/X /usr/X11R6/bin/X .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr options 4 , .Xr config 8 .Sh BUGS You may not be able to run the X server on multiple framebuffers, even though both the X server and .Ox support them.
