Rocky Linux Compatibility Setup for FreeBSD

This project provides a script to set up compatibility for running Rocky Linux applications on FreeBSD. It includes a Makefile for streamlined installation and uninstallation of the script.

Features

• Simplifies the setup of Linux compatibility on FreeBSD.
• Provides a script for configuring the necessary compatibility settings.
• Includes a Makefile for easy installation and removal.

Prerequisites

• FreeBSD 14 or later.
• Superuser (root) privileges to install and configure compatibility settings.
• Ensure the linux_enable option is set in /etc/rc.conf if required.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/vimanuelt/Rocky_Linux_Compatibility_Setup_for_FreeBSD.git
   cd Rocky_Linux_Compatibility_Setup_for_FreeBSD

2. Install the script using make:

   sudo make install

   By default, the script will be installed to /usr/local/sbin/ as setup_linux_compatibility.sh.

Usage

Run the script to set up compatibility:

sudo setup_linux_compatibility.sh

Once installed and configured, please reboot your computer.

Accessing a Rocky Linux Bash Shell

You can access a bash shell in the Rocky Linux compatibility environment by running:

sudo chroot /compat/linux /bin/bash

This provides a Linux environment within FreeBSD for testing or running Linux applications.

Uninstallation

To remove the script:

sudo make uninstall

This will delete the installed script from /usr/local/sbin.

Customization

The installation location can be customized by setting the PREFIX and INSTALL_DIR variables:

sudo make install PREFIX=/custom/path

Similarly, you can specify a custom destination during uninstallation:

sudo make uninstall DESTDIR=/custom/path

Cleaning Up

The clean target is a placeholder for future use. Currently, it does nothing:

make clean
