Executing host programs from a junest session #158

Closed mardukbp closed 7 years ago

mardukbp commented 8 years ago

Sometimes I would like to launch programs installed in the host OS from within a junest session. According to the proot manual this should be possible:

PRoot allows one to mix transparently the emulated execution of guest programs and the native execution of host programs in the same file-system namespace.

This mixed-execution feature is enabled by default when using QEMU user-mode, and the content of the host rootfs is made accessible through /host-rootfs.

I have tried running

junest -p "-q /opt/qemu/qemu-x86_64-static-x86"

but I get an error.

How can I achieve this with junest?

Hi,

Depending on which JuNest architecture you are using it is possible that JuNest is using already the -q option. If you specify the -q again via -p, it will result as having -q twice, and that's might be the reason you get an error.

At the moment I am afraid it might be worth using the proot command directly located to: ~/.junest/opt/proot/proot-x86_64

Closing this. If you have further issue on this, please reopen it.
