[Statifier-general] Unsuccessful porting between linux distributions

[Richard <rk...@us...>]

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has an idea why this
didn't work. I was trying to statify a program
called "bitmap" that used to be available in X
window distributions.

I started in a Linux From Scratch
(www.linuxfromscratch.org) version 6.2
distribution, which uses kernel 2.6.16.27.
In LFS_6.2, the bitmap program was part, I
believe, of the XFree86-4.6.0 package.
The bitmap program requires several shared
libraries. Since in later distributions I
don't have all the required libraries, and
since the bitmap program is no longer available
in them, I wanted to make a static version of
it. I installed statifier-1.7.3 in LFS_6.2
and I created two static versions of bitmap
using the following commands:

statifier bitmap bitmap.static1
statifier --set=LD_BIND_NOW=yes bitmap bitmap.static2

Both bitmap.static1 and bitmap.static2 run
in LFS_6.2. However, when I transfer these programs
to a later Linux From Scratch verion 7.2, which
uses kernel version 3.5.7, I can't run either
of the static programs. Both give me the message:

Illegal Instruction

Any ideas how to successfully port this program?

Thanks,

Richard
