if i want to run a linux program that is not offered in the linux-*
collection, can i compile it so that it will be run through the
emulator rather than as a freebsd program?
for instance, i want to run chessdb (a maintained version of scid which
is in the ports) and there is a tarball for unix:
ChessDB-3.6.18.tar.gz UNIX/Linux tarball.
(http://chessdb.sourceforge.net/downloads/)
but it doesn't seem to compile properly on freebsd.
i was wondering if i could compile it in linux, but there doesn't seem
to be any compiler present in /compat/linux ...
