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. + +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 different +directory hierarchy than pkgsrc (in the following example /usr/local is +assumed). Obtain and install the following GNU software: +- GNU findutils (4.2.23 is known 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 (5.97 works; be sure to specify GREP=/sbin/grep for +configure) +- GNU which (2.16 works; be sure to configure with CC="cc -Xcpluscomm") + +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: + +env CP=/usr/local/bin/cp GREP=/usr/local/bin/grep ID=/usr/local/bin/id MKDIR="/usr/local/bin/mkdir -p" TEST=/usr/local/bin/test TOUCH=/usr/local/bin/touch XARGS="/usr/local/bin/xargs -r" ./bootstrap + +Add the necessary arguments such as --prefix= as necessary. +You might also want to set the CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, or LDFLAGS. +For the IDO cc CFLAGS=-O2 (or CFLAGS="-O2 -mips2" if you are using an R4K +machine) is recommended. + +IRIX 5.3 IDO does not come with a C++ compiler.
