While you're at it you might also +want to install any missing patches from ftp://ftp.sgi.com/support/Patches/5.3. +Get ftp://ftp.mayn.de/pub/really_old_stuff/irix/ido/dev* and install the +missing dev.sw.abi and dev.sw.irix_speclibs subpackages. +Note that IRIX 5.3's ftp does not support passive ftp (to my knowledge), so +if you are behind a firewall (and you better make sure you are with IRIX +5.3!) you might need to first transfer the files to another local machine. +Furthermore, get Y2k patches from e.g. +ftp://ftp.mayn.de/pub/really_old_stuff/irix/oldstuff/ if you haven't +installed them already. + +To date, pkgsrc expects the SGI IDO cc and might run into problems when +using gcc. +With IDO cc and the necessary supporting tools and development files +installed you can run bootstrap to create the essential pkgsrc tools, +notably bmake. Once this is done you will find mk.conf.example to start +your mk.conf pkgsrc configuration file from. You might want to add +CFLAGS+=-O2 (or if you are using an R4K machine -O2 -mips2) +and +DBG= + +Unfortunately many of IRIX 5.3's native tools do not provide +functionalitites that pkgsrc expects. It is therefore necessary to install +the respective GNU tools for cp, grep, id, mkdir, test, touch, which, +and xargs. To avoid conflicts you might want to do so under a differtent +directory hierarchy than pkgsrc (in the following example +--prefix=/usr/local is assumed). Obtain and install the following GNU +software: +- GNU findutils (4.2.23 is know to install) +- GNU grep (2.5.1a works, but you have to apply the patch from +pkgsrc/textproc/grep/patches/patch-ab; either do so manually by editing the +appropriate source file or first install GNU patch [2.5.4 works fine]. This +will probably be fixed with later releases. You should configure GNU grep +with --disable-nls and do not bother when make stops when it cannot find +makeinfo; just proceed with make install) +- GNU coreutils (5.21 installs out of the box) +- GNU which (2.16 works; be sure to configure with CC="cc -Xcpluscomm") + +These tools can be installed independently of bootstrapping. To make them +accessible to pkgsrc make sure your mk.conf contains something like this: + +.if exists(${LOCALBASE}/bin/${GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX}id) +TOOLS_PLATFORM.id=${LOCALBASE}/bin/${GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX}id +.else +TOOLS_PLATFORM.id=/usr/local/bin/id +.endif +.if exists(${LOCALBASE}/bin/${GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX}mkdir) +TOOLS_PLATFORM.mkdir=${LOCALBASE}/bin/${GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX}mkdir -p +.else +TOOLS_PLATFORM.mkdir=/usr/local/bin/mkdir -p +.endif +.if exists(${LOCALBASE}/bin/${GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX}grep) +TOOLS_PLATFORM.grep=${LOCALBASE}/bin/${GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX}grep +.else +TOOLS_PLATFORM.grep=/usr/local/bin/grep +.endif +.if exists(${LOCALBASE}/bin/${GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX}cp) +TOOLS_PLATFORM.cp=${LOCALBASE}/bin/${GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX}cp +.else +TOOLS_PLATFORM.cp=/usr/local/bin/cp +.endif +.if exists(${LOCALBASE}/bin/${GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX}test) +TOOLS_PLATFORM.test=${LOCALBASE}/bin/${GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX}test +.else +TOOLS_PLATFORM.test=/usr/local/bin/test +.endif +.if exists(${LOCALBASE}/bin/${GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX}touch) +TOOLS_PLATFORM.touch=${LOCALBASE}/bin/${GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX}touch +.else +TOOLS_PLATFORM.touch=/usr/local/bin/touch +.endif +.if exists(${LOCALBASE}/bin/${GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX}xargs) +TOOLS_PLATFORM.xargs=${LOCALBASE}/bin/${GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX}xargs -r +.else +TOOLS_PLATFORM.xargs=/usr/local/bin/xargs -r +.endif +TYPE=/usr/local/bin/which + +IRIX 5.3 IDO does not come with a c++ compiler.
