The RSIM applications library provides some of the library functions needed for linking the applications to be simulated, as described in Chapters 1 and 5.
The RSIM applications library is located in the directory apps/utils/lib. This directory includes a makefile used for actually building the library on a SPARC Solaris platform. The user should type make install to use this makefile. This will create the RSIM libraries. Additionally, it will also produce a separate modified version of the standard system C library in the directory apps/utils/lib. This modified C library excludes many of the functions used internally by other functions in the C library to insure that the linker properly resolves these references to the RSIM applications library, rather than to standard functions in the system C library.
Details on supported and unsupported system library functions appear in Chapter 5.
