This is a repack of joerg's 5.0.24 tardist using the compilation instructions and scripts he provided for that release. 5.0.12 is the last known fully working 5.0.x version under IRIX and is the same version I've used to power Nekochan's forums, blog and wiki (since late 2005). 5.0.24 has some serious crash bugs when used in conjunction with PHP apps and I want to get it out of the Nekoware distribution ASAP.

from curiousity, does this also unblock the path for php5-mysql5 bindings? I'm running mysql4 for that purpose now.

Well as far as Nekoware goes, new packages would need to be created but it's definitely possible. I run my own custom php5/mysql5 packages for Nekochan.net and it works just fine.

Who have made the neko_binutils package?

This package only contains one image wich also not use the term sw.eoe. There is no dist, src, relnotes files. It would be fine if every package contains all the standard informations.

Btw. is there any risk when installing the binutils and use mips cc as default compilier. The usr/nekoware/bin is the first in $PATH when i compile software for nekoware and i expect some kind of trobule. Or is mips cc smart enough and use its own linker, assember?

regards
Joerg

That package came from regan_russell; he sent me a PM when he uploaded it but didn't post to the forum afterward. I don't keep gcc installed on my IRIX systems (to remove temptation) so I've no easy way to test it.

I'm amazed how fast this system is overall. It completely blows away my (former) dual 600 Octane. Even the R14K 600MHz Fuel I'm currently rebuilding is amazingly fast compared to the Octane.

Which is exactly why I wound up selling my Octane2; detractors be damned. Fuels simply rock

Yep - you need manually set your time closer to the actual time first (within a couple minutes is fine). openntpd can't make enormous corrections to the time like that (your clock appears to be off by 1.43 hours at the moment).

Yes - it uses adjtime to "adjust the system's notion of the current time, as returned by gettimeofday(3C), advancing or retarding it by the amount of time specified in the struct timeval pointed to by delta." It's not designed for huge leaps; it was designed to make minor adjustments to the clock to keep it in sync by slowing/speeding up the clock.

Also keep in mind we're talking about openntpd here (neko_ntpd), not standard ntpd.

You would be better off attaching an Octane to wide display; the O2 really only supports the 1600sw via widescreen. There is no adapter on the market (to my knowledge) that would convert the FPA's LVDS output to a DVI output (though the Multilink goes the other way, allowing the LVDS 1600sw to attach to a DVI graphics card).

A V10/V12 Octane would have no trouble connecting to a 24" Dell TFT.

I'm using a Dell 24" LCD with a V8 equipped Octane at 1920x1200 - so a V8 could go on that list as well.

I don't recommend the V6/V8 for TFT due to the timing bug, but they do "work" in a manner of speaking.

It's some sort of libiconv problem - I experience the same thing. It looks like whatever version of libiconv it's using (according to Joerg's research above it's using the IRIX supplied version) is statically linked:

Code:

  % ldd blender
  
  libmalloc.so  =>         /usr/lib32/libmalloc.so
  
  libfastm.so  =>  /usr/lib32/libfastm.so

  libc.so.1  =>    /usr/lib32/libc.so.1
  
  libdmedia.so  =>         /usr/lib32/libdmedia.so
  
  libcl.so  =>     /usr/lib32/libcl.so
  
  libaudio.so  =>  /usr/lib32/libaudio.so
  
  libCio.so.1  =>  /usr/lib32/libCio.so.1
  
  libpthread.so  =>        /usr/lib32/libpthread.so

  libGLcore.so  =>         /usr/lib32/libGLcore.so
  
  libXsgivc.so  =>         /usr/lib32/libXsgivc.so
  
  libmovieplay.so  =>      /usr/lib32/libmovieplay.so
  
  libmoviefile.so  =>      /usr/lib32/libmoviefile.so
  
  libXt.so  =>     /usr/lib32/libXt.so
  
  libgen.so  =>    /usr/lib32/libgen.so
  
  libmutex.so  =>  /usr/lib32/libmutex.so
  
  libawareaudio.so  =>     /usr/lib32/libawareaudio.so    delay-load

... so no way to try a different version that I can see.

Not captcha related, but it's a bit odd that there isn't a link back to the nekochan home page on the wiki.

Eh ... what?

I guess I could draw big red circles around it on the actual page, but c'mon

I just added some additional links under navigation - it's simply an edit of http://www.nekochan.net/wiki/index.php/ ... ki:Sidebar (anyone could have done so; this is a wiki after all).

Well it was the product of a graphics tablet and probably more than a bit of annoyance - the captcha extension was a pain in the butt to configure/install and then I found (what I perceived) to be gripes about things "other than captcha" and it torqued me more than it should have. I've had a night's sleep since and I apologize if I offended anyone.

There's already a Samba in nekoware-mips3; if you can't get swat working just configure it manually - it's not that hard.

So the entire thing falls apart if you switch to another compiler. Obviously not an option back in the day when the entire UNIX tool chain pretty much came from him, but nowadays that would be rough to pull off

Works great! Only issue I can see is that distributing as a *.zip loses the execute bit on 'addtobg' and 'install' (which is why tar files compressed with gzip/bzip are so prevalent

).

Here is RC2, complete with SSS (sub-surface scatter) and all

Nice! Anyone know if there are any test/sample .blend files for SSS out there yet?

I see that now there's a version RC2 .....
Will keep you posted...!

Yafray would need to be recompiled against the latest OpenEXR - you probably have the newer libIlmImf.so.5 libraries installed from neko_OpenEXR-1.4.0a.tardist.

I see ......

Anyone good with compiling yafray.. ....?

I think Charles did the 0.0.9 tardist but I'm sure he's pretty busy right now. In the meantime I've pulled the old libraries from the obsolete neko_OpenEXR-1.2.0a.tardist and stuck them here:

http://www.nekochan.net/wiki/downloads/nekon ... ibs.tar.gz

Code:

  -rwxr-xr-x    1 root     sys        293836 May  8 14:10 libHalf.so.3*
  
  -rwxr-xr-x    1 root     sys        291140 May  8 14:08 libIex.so.3*
  
  -rwxr-xr-x    1 root     sys       2003432 May  8 13:53 libIlmImf.so.3*
  
  -rwxr-xr-x    1 root     sys        115772 May  8 14:06 libImath.so.3*

If you uncompress and place these files inside your libpath someplace (i.e. /usr/nekoware/lib) it should allow the current yafray tardist to run.

Actually I had to recompile once I got the new version of OpenEXR (which is used in Blender), I just forgot to upload the new version of Yafray. Sorry about that (I have been busy).

This should be it:

http://www.nekochan.net/wiki/nekoware/beta/n ... 9a.tardist

Please let me know if it still does not work!

Thanks,

Cool, thanks for that!

The library problem is solved but I'm getting a crash when trying a test render of the 'big.xml' file dexter1 posted a while back:

Cool! While I was there I pre-ordered the new Blender guide too

I run a Dell 2407WFB on my Fuel which only supports 60Hz at that resolution. I'm currently using 1900x1200_60p, which was installed by default as far as I know.
