From: cmk128 on 25 Aug 2007 13:53 Hi I am currently not quite understanding how to do the relocation of the ELF format, so do you have any good tutorial? thanks from Peter (cmk128(a)hotmail.com)

Hi Peter, Not strictly about "relocations", but there's info about the ELF format, including the ELF spec in text format, here: http://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/software/tiny/teensy.html More advanced analysis here: http://www.mpeforth.com/arena/cwgtLinux.txt The latter is, strictly speaking, "about" writing a Forth compiler, but it's done by a "hand-made" ELF - including dynamic linking! Source for the Linux loader is in /usr/src/linux/fs/binfmt_elf.c. Maybe something somewhere in there will be of help. Best, Frank

Also 'whereis wine'. If Betov installed wine from a distribution package, it's likely to be /usr/bin, /usr/lib/wine, /usr/share/wine, /usr/share/doc/wine etc. Also he should do 'man wine'.

Just some curious questions, as I don't have a working Linux system anywhere near me. Most apps inside Linux are console apps, right? And for the apps that draw their own dialogs and forms, what would you say those run as? Are they ALL pretty much X-Windows? Or is it all up in the air depending pretty much upon what the programmer wants? Is there a particular technology that applies moreso than any other technology? -- Jim Carlock |
