IRIX and Software

figured one thread for the updates is probably the best way. everything is built with MIPSpro unless noted otherwise. the base dir is:

append the package name since there's no listing


let's get right to it. new today:

• uncrustify
• f90ppr

these are source code formatters for terminal use. uncrustify is a terribly "modern" c++ junk but compared to using a java based ide for formatting it's still a blessing as an exception i used g++ for this one but no worries, it doesn't require any gnu libs.
f90ppr is the same but only for fortran and also written in fortran. i uploaded a 64bit and 32bit version, both mips4 and i used a lot of the specials mipspro has to offer so these 2 should run like hell

a version of f90ppr for 6.2 is likely to follow more or less soon but no luck with uncrustify which seems to require a quite recent g++. anyhow the 6.2 version of f90ppr should then also work for those of you running 6.5 with mips3.

I should post some screenshots of the horribly formatted code written by the tiny subset of mechanical engineers at my place of employ who have decided they can program...

haha, they might wanna make use of it

• snappy_111.tardist
• fltk_132.tardist

the second one should be clear and the first one is google's compression lib.

Thank you for the effort

Are these packages for 6.5.22 minimum or they could be installed in let's say 6.5.15 ?

Are there any packages for the lesser versions of 6.5 irix ... prior to 6.5.22 ?

Or should i use the 6.2 ones ... actually that's what i did until now.
For me 6.5.15 seems the best overall distribution ... in speed and stability ... i own an O2.

Thank you

i'm not sure actually
for some it might come down to a try but unless something is used that only existed in a version above 6.5.15 it should be fine.

I think it was built without (or with broken) thread support or something. This from a quad 1GHz Tezro with 8Gb RAM:

i only used regular configure options and didn't modify any source so as i said via pm already i'm not related to the project in any way and it did classify irix as unsupported platform. there were no errors and my thread related stuff works fine for any other program so you might wanna talk with the author about any issues that might come up

Don't know if this applies but when I was messing with GraphicsMagicke I was told that threads in Irix and Open MP clash. Last time I talked to the head guy, he was working on this but up til now, you can't compile GM with both threads and OpenMP.

Seems odd since SGI was the mom of OpenMP but like a wilful child, it's forgotten its loving parents

The problem is that IRIX supports two thread models: traditional (sproc) threads and POSIX threads. You cannot mix thread models in a single IRIX process.

Several libraries in IRIX use sproc threads internally, probably because they date back to IRIX 5.3 or early 6.x days. For a developer this means that if you decide to use this library, and your code is threaded, it must use sproc threads.

Needless to say, these days everything assumes pthreads.

Thanks, j-j. Good to know the reason ... is there an easy way to know which libaries use which threads ?

I guess you should run against /usr/lib32/*.so and grep for sproc ?

On my Origin 350 (IRIX 6.5.30) these libraries show up:

Several of these belong to the WorkShop debugger. Before you ask: I don't know why libmp_pthreads.so and libpthread.so match

But man(5) pthreads is clear:

• dillo304_fltk-gcc.tar.bz2

this is a double pack containing fltk 1.3.2 static libs and dillo 3.0.4. as the name suggests both compiled with neko gcc 4.7.
fltk is without docs and the fluid program, just the libs. it defaults to /usr/local/dillo3. you can put it anywhere as long as you edit fltk-config accordingly.
dillo has the vsnprintf changes applied but also a much lighter version of the downloads.cc patch as well as 2 ssl related dialogs disabled. the latter makes duckduckgo or ixquick actually usable because these dialogs have no "don't ask again" option. they affect occurences of X509_V_ERR_SELF_SIGNED_CERT_IN_CHAIN and X509_V_ERR_UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY

Just for funzies I'm still working on a MIPSPro compile of dillo that I pulled from the tip of their svn on August 30th...

that's great, and i seem to face a rewrite of the dns module for 6.2 cause of the absence of addrinfo

• apache_2410.tar.bz2
• pcre_76.tardist

pcre is with utf8 but without c++ support. my good old 6.6 seemed a bit dated and lacked some popular macros so here's a newer one.
apache is as default as it gets although i didn't include some of the docs. it also includes both required apr libs (without ipv6 support). make sure to use appropriate alternatives or add /usr/local/apache2/lib to your LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH

• gimp_125.tar.bz2

never hurts to have a classic. the last gtk1 version including the data extras that were available back then. it's a separate dir for the whole thing that goes to /usr/local so that you can run gimp2 and this one one the same machine without problems.

• climm_071.tardist
• climm_071_ssl.tardist

the classic icq client without fancy stuff like jabber or otr

• openssh_66p1.tardist
• postgresql_7430.tar.bz2
• postgresql_8422.tar.bz2
• postgresql_941.tar.bz2
• apache_2412.tar.bz2
• nginx_162-mips3.tar.bz2
• nginx_162.tar.bz2
• lighttpd_1435.tar.bz2

the non-tardists default to /usr/local as usual. all webservers have ssl support
