Early this morning, I installed the requisite Linux libraries on granola so
that many programs can be run under Linux emulation in NetBSD. (This was
made easier by the fact that someone left /u1/emul on granola world
writable.) I then ran DOOM, Xess, and Maple, and they all seemed to work
okay.
I also went through a few of the popular lockers and ran all of the programs
which sounded interesting that were compiled for Linux. Only 2 of the
programs failed. One was oneko, which failed because syscall 29 isn't yet
emulated. (I expect this to be fixed RSN.) I forget what the other was,
but it failed because I had no libgr.so.
In all, it seems to work very well.
BTW, I'm going to be working with Scott Bartram over the next week or so to
update the SCO emulation.
