How to test system program in hp ski simulator???

[sudhnesh adapawar]

Hey all !
I am a newbie and have following doubts regarding hp ski simulator....
I have ia32 archi and i cross-compiled the tools and installed ski properly !
1) Ski does not resolve shared library for applications.So do we have
to statically link each and every ia64 binaries ?
2) Can anyone tell me how to test system programs(ia64) in ski simulator ?
Useful link related will do !
Thank You!
Kindly reply....

Use an IA64 chroot, and things *should* work. Although I've been
seeing problems (illegal operation faults) in bskinc recently.

See http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/IA64wiki/SkiSimulator for useful
stuff on Ski.

Your best bet is to run a complete emulated kernel and root file
system.
