Hello.

I try to load a linux-library in freeBSD with
DynLibs.LoadLibrary(libfilename) but it does not load...

Must the loaded library be pure freeBSD library ?

I was thinking that freeBSD is able to run Linux applications.

Is it not true for libraries or must i install something in freeBSD to accept Linux libraries?

Or, maybe, change something in fpc code ?

Thanks.

Many thanks ;-)

Yep, i have some news from freeBSD.

I have installed linux_base-f10 (linux emulator) but it seams that freeBSD can load only 32-bit-libraries.

Here some comment from freeBSD site :

>>>

FreeBSD provides 32-bit binary compatibility with Linux®, allowing users to install and run most 32-bit Linux® binaries on a FreeBSD system without having to first modify the binary. It has even been reported that, in some situations, 32-bit Linux® binaries perform better on FreeBSD than they do on Linux®.

However, some Linux®-specific operating system features are not supported under FreeBSD. For example, Linux® binaries will not work on FreeBSD if they overly use i386™ specific calls, such as enabling virtual 8086 mode. In addition, 64-bit Linux® binaries are not supported at this time.

Aaarg, i have install fpc-freeBSD-64-bit.

Maybe with fpc-freeBSD-32-bit applications (on a freeBSD-64-bit system?) and Linux-libraries-32-bit will do the trick ?

Or, perhaps, is it possible to load Linux-libraries-32-bit with fpc-freeBSD-64bit applications ?

Thanks.

Correct. The Linux Emulator in FreeBSD only supports 32-bit Linux applications at this point. There is work going on fer 64-bit support, but it is not complete yet.

Afaik the linuxator also works on 64-bit FreeBSD, so you can run 32-bit Linux userland on 64-bit freebsd.

No. Linux binaries can load linux libs, freebsd binaries load freebsd libs.

Being able to run is not the same as being able to mix.

Thanks Marco, thanks for your light ;-)

Now that i can compile freeBSD libraries (see my last other topic), i will use that libraries (in place of Linux libraries).

Write you later with the (positive, sure) results.

Fred.
