Mixed, but mostly good news. I took the proxy lib ideas I sent out last
week and created a proxy lib for libscreensaver.so (because it's so
small). After some poking and prodding to make sure things were getting
loaded correctly, I moved the real libscreensaver into
~/config/add-ons/OpenBeOS, and put the proxy into /boot/beos/system/lib.
The good news is that screensavers work with it! The not-so-good news
is that the prefs app barfs, but I figure there's some backdoor stuff
going on there that I'm not digging deep enough for. Nevertheless, I'm
going to call the test a success, since the main point (for me, anyway)
was to show a lib which 3rd party apps depended on working correctly via
a proxy lib -- demonstrating the possibility of achieving functional
binary compatibility.
Next up -- libbe.so! It's gonna be a *lot* hairier, so wish me luck.
