Hi All,
Can we port and run a Linux program which includes Linux kernel header files such as linux/device.h using Noux runtime environment in Genode? Thank you in advance for your time.
thanks and best regards, Kas

You always can port a Linux program to Genode, even if it uses kernel headers BUT (and this literally is a big but) you will probably end up reimplementing the Linux kernel stuff the program requires. At best you only have to provide the proper structure definitions yourself.
That being said, whether Noux *should* be used or not depends on the program — Noux should be considered only if the program is used from a shell interactively. Otherwise there is no immediate need for using it.

Hi,
Thank you so much Josef.
I have another question regarding Noux. I wanted to port and run a simple helloworld program on Genode's Noux runtime. I follow the steps for porting an app to Noux, but for me it is not clear how to create the port makefile for such program. and I can't jump to the next steps.
I would be grateful if someone give me steps to port a simple helloworld program to Noux. So that i can run this program as child of Noux process in Genode. I am just thinking to write and run more linux program in Genode using Noux.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,

Running a program in Noux is merely a matter of adding 'libc_noux' to its library dependencies. The porting guide assumes you want to port an existing program using an autotools based build system and therefore uses 'repos/ports/mk/noux.mk' which wraps the whole autotools handling in an convenient way.
A 'target.mk' for your helloworld program could look like this:
TARGET = helloworld LIBS = libc libc_noux SRC_C = main.c
