How to run SUN Solaris application under Linux PC?
Hello Linux folkz, I need to run one simple SUN Solaris engineering program on Linux PC box. The source code is not available though it's not possible just to recompile it. As I heard there is an emulator for Linux which allow to run UNIX applications or some binaries on Linux without their recompilation. I assume this emulator should partially emulate SUN's processor and system calls for non native application on Linux box. Could somebody please give me a pointer what is the name for this emulator and where should I look for it. Thank you in advance.

Alex, As far as I know there is not such beast. There is lxrun on Solaris for running Linux binaries under Solaris, but not the other way around. If you do find such a thing. Please tell me...but as far as I know. This is not possible.

This is not possible. Although I haven't tried it, there is Solaris binary emulation in the 2.4.4 kernel.

Hi Charles,

Really? That'd be great! Now, just let me ask two stupid questions: 1.) Can it run SPARC binaries, or only Solaris/x86 Binaries? 2.) Which patch in that FTP folder is it?

Sorry for the really late reply, I just returned from visiting my sister and her new baby in Vancouver. T> 1.) Can it run SPARC binaries, or only Solaris/x86 Binaries? I don't know, I only saw the option while doing a make menuconfig T> 2.) Which patch in that FTP folder is it? I just downloaded the whole kernel. That might be the safest option. Good luck. Charles
