You can also use the dbx tool to debug a translated executable. Translating executables and running the translated executables on Digital UNIX are separate operations with separate requirements. Requirements to translate executables FreePort Express requires an Alpha system running Digital UNIX Version 3.0 or later. Translation can require memory that is up to 40 times the size of the program text. For example, translating a 3MB executable requires a peak of about 120MB of virtual memory.
Specific requirements depend on the executable being translated.
Make sure fpx can access any user shared libraries the executable needs. When fpx translates an executable, it identifies the user shared libraries used by the executable and translates them too, if they are not translated already. The run-time environment, fpxr , which is part of the FreePort Express software kit, must be available on the Alpha system. The Digital UNIX operating system must be Version 3.0 or later. Memory requirements depend on the executable that is running.
