I'd love to see 'fwdl' from this guy:
http://www.tc.umn.edu/~erick205/Projects/index.html

It should compile without too much hassle under IRIX, so basicly it's just the packageing that needs to be done.
The utility itself downloads firmware onto Seagate harddrives and would make life easier to flash harddrives.

Also, there's a package called 'sg3-utils' which can format harddrives using 512byte/block or 520byte/block.

It seems it wants to talk to a PRISA FC adapter on IRIX:

README wrote:

'fwdl' is a program which will download firmware to a Seagate Fibre Channel disk drive. The program currently only works with drives attached to a Prisa Networks NetFX adapter on Silicon Graphics systems, drives attached to Sun Microsystems workstations, or drives attached to a Linux-based workstation.

And it probably needs some PRISA headers too:

Code:

$ make prisa

CC -n32 -mips3 -O2 -o fwdl -Dsgi -DDEBUG fwdl.C fwdl-prisa.C \

-lfcp

fwdl.C:

cc-3968 CC: WARNING File = fwdl.C, Line = 424

implicit conversion of a 64-bit integral type to a smaller integral type

(potential portability problem)

fwSize = fwStats.st_size;

^

fwdl-prisa.C:

cc-1005 CC: ERROR File = fwdl-prisa.C, Line = 44

The source file "nport.h" is unavailable.

#include <nport.h>

^

1 catastrophic error detected in the compilation of "fwdl-prisa.C".

Compilation terminated.

make: *** [prisa] Error 2

The alternative targets are 'sun' and 'linux' and those give many, many errors.

Thanks anyway.

I see Dillo 2.0 has been released, they've fully ported it to FTLK from GTK+1, supposdly uses "half the memory" of previous version:
http://linuxdevices.com/news/NS3205239546.html

Be nice if the nekoware gods could provide a port for us mere mortals.

I second that! neko_dillo is stuck at 0.8.6 while dillo.org reports 2.1.1.
My Belco Alpha400 runs dillo2 - under 3MXrc4 on a MIPS CPU

.
Compared to FireFox, err, IceWeasel it is incredibly fast, even shows JPEG
and other images - which neko_dillo unfortunately doesn´t at all.

Or is it meant to do and I again missed something eventually?

P.S.: Yes, I´d love to learn how to port to IRIX myself ... but do I have a chance?
How about some Wiki that explains it in detail? (So much for my wish list).

Someone did a compile of dillo 2.something a while ago. I think he also linked up the source files to his post. But after that he disappeared.

Oh, here it is

I know we have synergy2 ported, but could we get synergy+ ported as well?

http://code.google.com/p/synergy-plus/

It's the bugfixed and actually-maintained version of Synergy.

Thanks.

Hi, new version od samba should be fine. That in nekoware is from 2007, works flawlessly for me, but two years of developement is something what can't be overlooked.

Thanks tomo

Hello,

Can anyone have a look wether the Secret Maryo Chronicles is easily portable? It is a mature mario-like 2D game and already on OSX, Win, and a lot of Linux flavors.

http://www.secretmaryo.org

Thank you.

Secret Maryo Chronicles uses CEGUI which makes enough use of templates to cause trouble with the mipspro compiler.

Hello,

Anyone wants to give Armagetron a try? It uses SDL and the sources can be downloaded from http://www.armagetronad.net .

Probably not me, I haven't finished the previous things I volunteered for.. and I've been waaay too distracted so far this year.. I have put together some large business deals, written more than 23,000 lines of Objective-C code, several iPhone Apps (none made it to the AppStore) .. Then there are other things that really take up my time.

... Its definitely year of the Tiger. :!:

GFC is an open source modeline generator that takes a desired resolution and vertical refresh rate, and computes mode timings. If it can be compiled, it might be handy for those wanting to make custom display resolutions using the IRIX tool VFC.
