hi guys
a friend of mine has given me his Impact just to make me toy with it, it's an Irix Impact (IP28) box with Irix on, i am not used to play with irix, as i am toying with linux on my Octane2 (IP30)

so, i do not have any experience about License for compilers, on my linux box i simply use gcc

it seems i have to use MIPS Pro Compiler for project like the following

Code: Select all


   bluQueen# cd scicalc/
   

   bluQueen# ls
   

   Makefile           Makefile.original  README             calcform.c         calcform.def       calcform.h         scicalc            scicalc.c
   

   bluQueen# make
   

   cc -j -O3 -I/usr/local/include scicalc.c

as all real unix variants irix does have its own compiler. you can however get a gcc for irix from nekoware and other sources.
the makefile btw is wrong because using -j and -Ox together makes no sense.

i already have installed gcc for Irix, i am able to recompile a few o my linux text-console applications, e.g. i have written a text editor, just for fun, which i am recycled to code a TAP-debugger interface.

is there any student discount to buy the MIPSpro C Compiler's license ?
in the web pace i have linked it is written business only, but it seems the information is pretty old 2010 at least, so any news since than ?
i'd like to have a license, but i do not have any business ticket as i am a student.

my text editor, coded in Ansi C, compiled with gcc, recycled for an other project: a TAP machine debugger interface

Alas, SGI is dead and sold. The new owners won't likely dig up the license generator unless you shower them with money.

bad news =(

i have found a bit of thread in this forum, like this , or this , and i am reading them, but i have understood that … the conclusion is: ask a friend if he/she can provide a license, because you can't buy it =(

Or, you can always try backporting Open64 to IRIX. Its the same compiler, but different. :p
