I hope I get some time over soon, so I can play with my SGI hardware for real. Right now I have to make 3D graphics that requires my main PC workstation. So all "3D time" has to be spent on "serious" stuff.. No fun at all.

What are the specs of your main modeling workstation on your site?

I've had my head buried in the sand a long time with 6.5.19. I just recently upgraded to 6.5.22 and wow I'm so glad I did. This tool has made the once excruciating task of installing software a rather pleasant one. Apt-get for irix. Great work. Kudos to you.

Sys admin. The company I currently work for caters to the SMB crowd. 3d modeler by trade but I required a much more steady means of compensation when the family started to grow.

Back in the day (mid 90's) I had the pleasure of doing contract work for SGI. We worked on accounts such as Disney, Fermi-Lab, LANL..etc. Anyway my first SGI was an Indigo. Then progressively moved to an Indy, an Indigo2, then a couple O2's. Sadly throughout the years machines have come and gone but my trusty Octane2 has stayed with me by my side.

Wrote on the subject of my first port: gXipmsg at Sept. 17, 2012, 2:47 p.m...

I can't compile it in IRIX 6.5.30, I'd guess that my Motif headers are too old, because XmCHARSET_TEXT isn't defined anywhere in /usr/include or its subdirectories, including Xm. Which packages from what CD do I have to install to compile gXipmsg?

It appears I get the same compilation error even though it appears I'm using the 2.1 build environment.

Code: Select all


$ ls -ld /usr/include/Xm


lrwxr-xr-x    1 root     sys           23 Sep 17 16:18 /usr/include/Xm -> ../Motif-2.1/include/Xm

Don't intend on hijacking this thread just want to see what the solution might be. I'm getting this exact same issue on a totally unrelated piece of software I'm trying to compile.

I removed the ... in foo(...) But still cc-1055.

Code:

cc-1055 CC: ERROR File = crap.cc, Line = 443

A macro invocation has too many arguments.

foo("Some crap.\n");

I have resorted to running a 20ft HDMI cable through the wall in my office that feeds into the closet + synergy. This way I still get true hardware rendering and she doesn't have to listen to "that noisy red box." It does get to come out of the office closet on occasion, but most of the time it's locked away like a neglected step child.

I know there maybe a few users that are still using their Sgis/Maya for creating published/production content. But I would guess most use it strictly for nostalgia purposes. If you have a favorite tool/shortcut..etc in 2016. I would make 100% sure it works in 6.5. Granted you should be able to easily re-create it in MEL. I don't use the animation toolset much. So I couldn't tell you what's different. Just be warned you may find yourself trying to fix minute differences between the two software versions. I know I did. Occasionally I will try and re-create a python script in MEL on 6.5 just for comparison, but I rarely use the Fuel much for any real Maya work.
