How to start in IRIX programming? - RetroGamer1985 - 03-28-2019
Hi, I am interested to know what are the tools to program in C in IRIX, because I would like to start a personal project in programming a visual calculator in a window and have images created by me and include it in terms of programming.
What are the tools, assemblers and compilers to create visual elements in IRIX?

Motif is the IRIX native toolkit. I don't have any programming guides written up, but for the native IRIX toolchain check the mipspro and toolchain articles on the wiki.

Hi.
For C compilers you have basically two options: native SGI MipsPro C compiler and GNU gcc.
For creating GUIs you will need a GUI toolkit of which there are plenty (albeit old versions): Motif, GTK, Qt, wxWidgets, Tk. Take a look at nekoware and the SGI freeware CDs/online repos.

What is your plan for dev.
I'm also interested in this and would like to convert some old classics (8bit and 16bit) to Native IRIX.
I have an Indy (8 bit graphics) with IRIX 5.3 and I thought this would be a good baseline. My plan is that my Indigo2 (Extreme graphics) will be upgraded to 6.5.22 and used as a test mule of later OS releases to ensure compatibility
I don't fancy developing on the Indigo2 as it's so bloody loud.
