In general, will binaries built on FreeBSD run on Linux operating systems, especially Ubuntu?
Answer
You cannot run binaries built for FreeBSD on Linux (see this question). They basically are different operating systems, sharing only a small subset of APIs (POSIX compatibility).
However, if you have the source code, you can build binaries for Linux on FreeBSD; the term is "cross-compiling". For example, programs for Windows are often compiled on a Linux system.
