If I may ask, what software is this? Must be pretty old if it hasn't been updated since the R8000 was state of the art...

What's "official" about dbx? I don't even have it on my system, with what I thought was a complete install of MIPSPro 7.4.3...

Update: I'm converting the whole thing over to automake and scrapping their brain dead nonfunctional build system. Will post back when I've got it working, ah-OOG-ah ah-OOG-ah DIVE dive all dive!

Yes all Octanes are R10000 and above and are thus 64 bit machines.

I just dl'ed the most recent version of binutils but the configure script craps out with "compiler cannot create executables," which just simply ain't true it can. I've gotten this error before from autoconf on my Octane and it mysteriously goes away and then reappears again. Maybe my compiler installation is haunted!

config.log is pretty much content-free, it calls "exit 77" when trying to figure out the compiler default output file name, if I comment out that part of configure it fails on the next check, can't recall exactly what that is right now, linking or something. Could be the diddling around I had to do with the compiler front end (fecc) to get Maxwell to compile (which it did), I'll check it tonight and report back status...

Well that's weird, I have the latest version of Prodev Workshop that I installed from the CD, yet `which dbx` gives nothing...

I'm afraid the Linux desktop is pretty much owned by Gnome and KDE...

"I know, we'll write it in Erlang!" Or, How to Ensure That No Developers Will Ever Join Your Project...

Would be nice though because then we could also add wings3d to Nekoware...

That is one unenforceable patent!

I used 5dwm (early MaXX desktop) while its binaries were compatible with Slackware (which is the only Linux distribution I've ever used, when you've got the best why mess with the rest), after which I went back to the same WM I started out with on Unix 25 years ago[1], mwm, although I did copy over the 5dwm sgi-like root window colors into my .mwmrc, like so:



Note that you have to have the line "Backgrounds" f.menu "Backgrounds" in your .mwmrc DefaultRootMenu section for this to work.

[1] Yeah, I know, I'm one of those old dudes...

Trouble in paradise?

Nice Fuel BTW...

Neat... Petite!

F-ing useless boot failure messages; "The bandersnatch doesn't match the silibub in the maxcanwhoa, aborting" instead of "The primary hard drive is unpartitioned, please see http://blah.blah.com/blah/blah/blah for simple instructions that will extricate you from this difficulty"...

Blender can export FBX, I would assume it can do so on IRIX though disclaimer-wise I've never used Blender on IRIX...

In the dist directory my MIPSPro-7.4.4 distribution, I have the files c++_eoe.sw64, compiler_eoe.sw64, compiler_eoe.sw64, I don't have the file eoe.sw64. I never got 7.4.4 to install either so I'm still using 7.4.3. Sorry about your birthday...

Edit: Fixed typo...

So it's working now on yours? Top notch!

I've agree; software patents are a blight on the landscape and must be purged and expurgated. From endsoftpatents.org:

Each software patent blocks software developers from implementing a feature such as a video format, pinch-to-zoom, or nested menus. For 20 years, no developer can implement that feature without asking the patent holder, who can refuse, or ask for payment and impose conditions. Today there are tens of thousands of software patents and this affects all computer users:

Software patents block standards, leading to incompatibility. If you can’t view a video, if a document doesn’t look right on your computer, or if two software packages don’t work well together, it’s often because a patent prohibits the software developer from making that feature work correctly.

Software patents block individuals from taking part in the development and distribution of software. This may not seem relevant to most people but it’s the same as the freedom to write a book. Most people will never write a book, but some people will, and society as a whole benefits from what is made by the few people who do write books or develop software.

Software patents create legal and financial risks that most companies can’t afford. The result is monopolies or only two or three companies being active in a given domain. Software users are left with very little choice, and because the patent-owning software companies know that the users are locked in, there is little incentive to respond to complaints from the users.

HAL!

Powers up and won't boot or dead at the power switch?

katzmandu I think what you've got there is a rackmount Onyx RealityEngine2, the third picture shows the I/O ports as described here and also a very nice picture:

I'm sure your electrical service provider will be happy to run you two more phases. For a price... Otherwise, a 120-240 stepup transformer should be able to do the job, yes?

You've only got single phase service to the house currently? Would you use a phase shifter then?

Breathe some new life into this most useful thread, results on my state of the art circa-2004 Linux box:



Five hundred eighty thousand triangles per second seems pretty kick ass to me, especially on 9 year old hardware...

Would like to see what some of you guys with non-retro hardware can do...

No, but IRIX already has a fairly complete set of digital media tools, see for example: http://techpubs.sgi.com/library/tpl/cgi ... front.html

Wow!

I'm renaming my Linux box "boatanchor"...

Or, as a wiser voice than mine once said, reconfigure the PROM to the factory defaults by running "resetenv" <without the quotes> at the PROM command line (thanks recondas !) ...

That's a little bit closer to what my lowly GeForce 5700 can do...

IRIX binaries? Seriously?

Undocumeted feature...

Just do a bare ls, don't reference the disk. SASH should see it as something like scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(0)/:

Nothing's installed yet! You should be seeing directories and the file "unix" which is the kernel it would be trying to boot into...

Are you sure you got the disk partitioned right? You might want to have a look at this: http://techpubs.sgi.com/library/tpl/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?coll=0650&db=bks&fname=/SGI_Admin/IA_DiskFiles/ch01.html
