Confused with Linuxulator

Hello,

Trying to install atom (text editor) via rpm:

I think these errors might be corrected and anyway shouldn't prevent atom to start, at least.

(Background: linux.ko and linux64.ko are loaded, as expected, and I installed the c6 base from octopkg).

Now I'm at a loss to know how to actually start it.

I've tried this:

Code: Select all

[root@mayahuel /compat/linux]# bash -x ./usr/bin/atom

but as this script actually starts with a test based on uname to decide whether the OS is supported or not, and as it only accepts Linux or Mac, it ends up displaying:

Code: Select all

Your platform (FreeBSD [...]  amd64) is not supported.

though it also shows a fair bunch of syntax errors (I guess originating from differences between FreeBSD's and Linux's bashes?)

So.

What should I do next?

I see several ways:

1. try to hack this script to let it accept FreeBSD and see what happens (looks like a random attempt...).

2. find a way to correctly start this rpm-installed software (Should I chroot before I run it? Is there at all a way to let it think it's actually running under Linux, something similar to a jail environment?)

3. abandon the linuxulator way and investigate the wine way?

Have you tried this?

This may work also:

The one from github I tried some months ago, it didn't work anymore (support of electron has been dropped).
It ended up this way: https://www.bountysource.com/issues/290 ... o-electron
I give it a try again, right now, and still does not work, though I see the issue seems different than before.

I could try the TrueOS way of installing atom too... but as it consists of building atom from the github sources, I'm afraid this won't work better...

[NevilleGoddard]

Good luck with trying the TrueOS method.
If you can understand what this guy did, you may get electron running under GhostBSD10.3 with some editing. (Freebsd11 to FreeBSD10)

I've tried linuxulator on some programs with not much luck unfortunately.

[zezollo]

Well this drives crazy. It stops at this: npm install chromedriver -g with a permission error (a directory not being writable). As it does not exist, I created it and gave permission (full write access, just to see), then I get a too many symbolic links error, no idea what to do about it.

From an issue for another project in github, it looks like the fix is to not install system-wide, what looks required by the steps for TrueOS... and it requires a nvm command that I cannot find in the repos. So, I think I give up with this way

Now maybe there's a way through wine?
