 |
|
Hey guys,
I currently have both gentoo and Jaguar installed on my powerbook (omfg it's so sexy... ahem) and i was wondering was there any way to run the gentoo apps whilst logged in with osx?
i've tried chrooting to the environment to no avail
| Code: |
ristretto:~ coldflame$ sudo chroot /mnt/linux /bin/bash
Password:
chroot: /bin/bash: Exec format error
|
also trying to run the compiled binaries results in
| Code: |
ristretto:~ coldflame$ /mnt/linux/bin/bash
-bash: /mnt/linux/bin/bash: cannot execute binary file
|
any ideas?
i'd love to use portage for the apps but have had no luck in that arena either..
thanks heaps..

 The executables of osx and linux are different, so you can't simply run them. You must compile them for each operating system/architecture combination that you have in your machine parc...
Fink is only a package manager like portage (you can say it's a competitive product if you like to) that brings the sources of packages to you and automagically compiles and installs them for you. |

darwinports is a great way to get open source and GPLed applications compiled and installed, along with all dependencies . . . rather like Portage.  |

Try QEMU, PowerPC is supported and gentoo for powerpc pretty quick. Its a Virtual machine of sorts. I actually havnt ran it on my dual g4 yet, been meaning to do it. (Im on a dual p4 for my main workstation and qemu runs smooth)
