Next: LBW 0.1: Linux Binaries on Windows
From: David Given on 31 Mar 2010 20:03 Yes, finally you both get to know why I've been asking all those weird questions over the past couple of months! LBW is a Linux binary loader that runs on Windows (currently only 32-bit Windows XP). It translates Linux system calls into Windows ones, using Interix to do the heavy lifting. It supports both static and dynamic binaries. While it's very much a work in progress it's good enough to run a Debian chroot, downloading and installing packages with apt and dpkg, compiling and running programs with gcc, connecting to remote servers with ssh, and even running some basic X applications. Performance isn't brilliant, but I have ideas why and how to fix it. The web page, where you can get an installer package and the source code, is here: http://lbw.sourceforge.net/ I'd like to say thanks to the help I got from c.o.m-w.p.win32 and c.u.p; it helped considerably! -- ┌─── dg@cowlark.com ───── http://www.cowlark.com ───── │ │ "In the beginning was the word. │ And the word was: Content-type: text/plain" --- Unknown sage
