Title: "cross running" of applications
Post by: P5music on March 28, 2010, 06:55:36 AM

hi
I'm running tinycore along with another linux distro installed in the same filesystem:
now
-there is an application on the other linux installation (can be rebuilt if necessary)
-this application has some dependencies which are satisfied in its own linux system and in tinycore too
I ask you if it is possile to run the binary of this application from tinycore.
thanks in advance

To run it in Tiny Core, it needs to be made into an extension.

Tiny Core won't run the applications of the other operating system.

This seems a bit extreme. The TC application management system ( for extensions ) requires tcz's. But applications can be manually installed.

Short answer: just try it (and if it runs it's probably fine :P)

If that's not good enough, then the next 'easiest' method would be to compile it statically.

Obviously, this is assuming that the same architecture is being used.
