Package "ibcs2"


The iBCS2 emulator

The iBCS2 emulator allows you to run binaries of other UNIX system such as SCO-Unix[tm] under Linux.

The emulator is a loadable module that can be loaded into the kernel using the command 'insmod iBCS'. If you have activated the kernel daemon, the ibcs2 emulator module will be loaded automatically on demand.

CAUTION: This package contains the libc.so.1 for SYSV 4.x systems! If you install this package you may encounter strange things! If you compile a program and specify the linker option "-L/usr/lib", the linker tries to link THIS library which of course doesn't work. In such a case, either specify the option "-L/lib -L/usr/lib" or do not specify any path. Then the program will be successfully linked.
