Most executables will work. .Pp The SunOS compatibility feature is active for kernels compiled with the .Nm COMPAT_SUNOS option enabled. .Pp Compatibility with SunOS version 5 and later, better known as Solaris, is .Em not addressed by these instructions; please read the .Xr compat_svr4 8 manual page instead. .Pp The exceptions include programs that use the SunOS kvm library, and various system calls, ioctl()'s, or kernel semantics that are difficult to emulate. The number of reasons why a program might fail to work is (thankfully) longer than the number of programs that fail to run. .Pp Static executables will normally run without any extra setup. This procedure details the directories and files that must be setup to allow dynamically linked executables to work. .Pp The files you need are on your SunOS machine. You need to worry about the legal issues of ensuring that you have a right to use the required files on your machine. On your OpenBSD machine, do the following: .Pp .Bl -enum -inset -offset 123 -compact .It .Li mkdir -p /emul/sunos/usr/lib /emul/sunos/usr/5lib .fi .Pp .It .Li cp SunOS:/usr/lib/lib*.so.*.* OpenBSD:/emul/sunos/usr/lib .Pp .It .Li cp SunOS:/usr/5lib/lib*.so.*.* OpenBSD:/emul/sunos/usr/5lib .Pp .It .Li cp SunOS:/usr/lib/ld.so OpenBSD:/emul/sunos/usr/lib/ld.so .Pp .It If you ever expect to use YP, you will want to create a link: .nf .Li ln -s /var/run/ypbind.lock /etc/ypbind.lock .fi .El .Pp Alternatively, you can use an NFS mount to accomplish the same effect. On your OpenBSD machine, do the following: .Pp .Bl -enum -inset -offset 123 -compact .Pp .It .Li mkdir -p /emul/sunos/usr .Pp .It .Li mount SunOS:/usr /emul/sunos/usr .fi .El .Pp This will place the SunOS libraries on your OpenBSD machine in a location where the SunOS compatibility code will look for first, where they do not conflict with the standard libraries. .Pp .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr compat_svr4 8 .Sh BUGS A list of things which fail to work in compatibility mode should be here.
