Abstract

A system, method, and apparatus is disclosed for executing an architecture-independent binary program on a computer. An object file is read, and architecture-independent object code is extracted from the object file. Dynamic dependency information is also extracted from the object file. The dependency information is provided to an interpreter, which is invoked to execute the object code. The object file is preferably in an architecture-neutral format, preferably the ELF format defined as the standard binary interface that is used by application programs on operating systems that comply with the UNIX System V Interface Definition.
