[comp.sys.next] Sun -> NeXT

SAMcinty@exua.exeter.ac.uk (Scott McIntyre) (06/19/91)

Is it possible to convert Sun Binaries into NeXT ones?  I seem to
recall that someone said that this is not only possible,but that
they often do it...if this is so, can someone tell me how?

	To convert sun3 binaries, use "atom", although that shared libraries
	will not translate properly (i.e. you should link using -Bstatic, this
	should do the trick most of the time)

	BTW, FYI, Verilog by Cadence is a Digital CAD software(from the memory,
	so I am not very sure what exactly it was) originally written for
	Sun. People at NeXT had used atom to move it to NeXT, then they
	added NeXTstep front end... the prob is, Cadence didn't seem to
	be interested supporting NeXT... 
	This is for quite a while ago, may have changed since then.

	Have fun
