ELF (Executable and Linkable Format) is a format for libraries and
|
|
executables used across different architectures and operating
|
|
systems. Saying Y here will enable your kernel to run ELF binaries
|
|
and enlarge it by about 13 KB. ELF support under Linux has now all
|
|
but replaced the traditional Linux a.out formats (QMAGIC and ZMAGIC)
|
|
because it is portable (this does *not* mean that you will be able
|
|
to run executables from different architectures or operating systems
|
|
however) and makes building run-time libraries very easy. Many new
|
|
executables are distributed solely in ELF format. You definitely
|
|
want to say Y here.
|
|
|
|
Information about ELF is contained in the ELF HOWTO available from
|
|
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
|
|
|
|
If you find that after upgrading from Linux kernel 1.2 and saying Y
|
|
here, you still can't run any ELF binaries (they just crash), then
|
|
you'll have to install the newest ELF runtime libraries, including
|
|
ld.so (check the file <file:Documentation/Changes> for location and
|
|
latest version).

help
|
|
ELF FDPIC binaries are based on ELF, but allow the individual load
|
|
segments of a binary to be located in memory independently of each
|
|
other. This makes this format ideal for use in environments where no
|
|
MMU is available as it still permits text segments to be shared,
|
|
even if data segments are not.
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to run FDPIC ELF binaries on MMU linux also.

|

A.out (Assembler.OUTput) is a set of formats for libraries and
|
|
executables used in the earliest versions of UNIX. Linux used
|
|
the a.out formats QMAGIC and ZMAGIC until they were replaced
|
|
with the ELF format.
|
|
|
|
The conversion to ELF started in 1995. This option is primarily
|
|
provided for historical interest and for the benefit of those
|
|
who need to run binaries from that era.
|
|
|
|
Most people should answer N here. If you think you may have
|
|
occasional use for this format, enable module support above
|
|
and answer M here to compile this support as a module called
|
|
binfmt_aout.
|
|
|
|
If any crucial components of your system (such as /sbin/init
|
|
or /lib/ld.so) are still in a.out format, you will have to
|
|
say Y here.

Say Y if you are using OSF/1 binaries (like Netscape and Acrobat)

with v4 shared libraries freely available from Compaq. If you're

going to use shared libraries from Tru64 version 5.0 or later, say N.

|

---help---
|
|
Say Y here if you want to be able to execute Linux/Intel ELF
|
|
binaries just like native Alpha binaries on your Alpha machine. For
|
|
this to work, you need to have the emulator /usr/bin/em86 in place.
|
|
|
|
You can get the same functionality by saying N here and saying Y to
|
|
"Kernel support for MISC binaries".
|
|
|
|
You may answer M to compile the emulation support as a module and
|
|
later load the module when you want to use a Linux/Intel binary. The
|
|
module will be called binfmt_em86. If unsure, say Y.

If you say Y here, it will be possible to plug wrapper-driven binary
|
|
formats into the kernel. You will like this especially when you use
|
|
programs that need an interpreter to run like Java, Python, .NET or
|
|
Emacs-Lisp. It's also useful if you often run DOS executables under
|
|
the Linux DOS emulator DOSEMU (read the DOSEMU-HOWTO, available from
|
|
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>). Once you have
|
|
registered such a binary class with the kernel, you can start one of
|
|
those programs simply by typing in its name at a shell prompt; Linux
|
|
will automatically feed it to the correct interpreter.
|
|
|
|
You can do other nice things, too. Read the file
|
|
<file:Documentation/binfmt_misc.txt> to learn how to use this
|
|
feature, <file:Documentation/java.txt> for information about how
|
|
to include Java support. and <file:Documentation/mono.txt> for
|
|
information about how to include Mono-based .NET support.
|
|
|
|
To use binfmt_misc, you will need to mount it:
|
|
mount binfmt_misc -t binfmt_misc /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc
|
|
|
|
You may say M here for module support and later load the module when
|
|
you have use for it; the module is called binfmt_misc. If you
|
|
don't know what to answer at this point, say Y.
