Hi
Well despite saying I'd have a look at compiling lyx with MIPSpro C++,
I tried with gcc first --- if I'm going to compile lyx I'd like to end
up with something that works at the end of it. I'll try again with
MIPSpro C++ tonight.
This message should probably go to the development list as well, but
due to rather bizarre mail config problems here (all my fault) I can't
do that. It might be worth adding a special README for IRIX (fighting
configure is spectacularly irritating and many people would give up).
Lyx version: last night's 1.2cvs
IRIX: 6.5.8
GCC: 2.95.3
1 As root :-
cd /usr/lib
mv libXpm.so libXpm.so.dis
mv libXpm.a libXpm.a.dis
cd /usr/lib32
mv libXpm.so libXpm.so.dis
mv libXpm.a libXpm.a.dis
cd /usr/include/X11
mv xpm.h xpm.h.dis
This assumes that you have a modern version of Xpm somewhere
built with '-n32'.
2 Configure with the following :-
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib32 -L/usr/freeware/lib32 -L/opt/lib" \
./configure --prefix=/opt
The exact -L options to add to LDFLAGS will vary from system to
system. If you're using csh this might not work --- do yourself
a favour and use a decent shell (zsh).
There's a hint in the generated configure file that there's
support for coping with IRIX's multiple ABI's, but this
doesn't seem to work (at least for me).
3 Go into the po subdirectory and edit the Makefile. For every
instance of the find command, replace with an absolute path to
the GNU version of find (/usr/freeware/bin/find).
[The -path option to find is GNU-specific]
4 Edit boost/boost/detail/limits.hpp and change line 38 to read
:-
#if defined(__sparc) || defined(__sparc__) ||
defined(__powerpc__) || defined(__hppa) || defined(__mips)
(i.e. add 'defined(__mips)' to the end of the line)
No idea whether this really works or not, but Lyx now compiles
and runs.
3 Unwind step 1 (or things might break).
