Is this a recent development? As far as I know they don't even support full POSIX. Simpler software can be ported by recompiling, yes, but I don't think they support Linux binaries, at least not yet.
- vlovich123 6y agoI haven't read anything from the project on the actual status of it. Just following news reports. https://www.theregister.com/2019/11/29/after_four_years_rusty_os_nearly_selfhosting/ https://www.theregister.com/2019/11/29/after_four_years_rust... https://linux.slashdot.org/story/19/11/30/2011231/rust-based-redox-os-is-nearly-self-hosting-after-four-years https://linux.slashdot.org/story/19/11/30/2011231/rust-based... https://doc.redox-os.org/book/ch01-06-how-redox-compares.html https://doc.redox-os.org/book/ch01-06-how-redox-compares.htm... says they support the 31 most common syscalls (however that's defined).
- cfcosta 6y agoOh, they mean POSIX on it. Not binary compatibility.
- vlovich123 6y agoNo, they are talking specifically about the syscall being API and ABI compatible. That means binary compatible by definition.
