What do I need to set up my O2 for C++? - KayBee - 03-08-2020
Hi IRIXians,
I have some C++ "hacking" background and I want to mess with C++ for graphics programming on the O2. Can someone recommend a setup? Meaning, what CDROMs to install so I have a GUI friendly text editor, as well as a compiler?
Thank you.

IRIX doesn't have a super advanced text editor option, but you can install nedit from the network install images. You'll also need the network install images for mipspro. Grab everything in the mipspro directory on our ftp and it should be sufficient to get you going.

Thank you Raion, I'll start there.

I am running 6.5.30 (Irinikus install video), which makes me think some dev tools might already be installed. But I'm not sure. So assuming not, is there an installation order for the items in the MipsPro directory?
Thanks as always everyone, for being patient.

Some alternative advanced text editors (with development in mind):
- Emacs can be setup to be quite advanced.
- Java(1.4)-based NetBeans works in IRIX
- Visual SlickEdit has a version for IRIX (its commercial/paid .. but you can still purchase today)

Hi Again,
My goal is to mess with graphics in C++. In my IRIX 6.5.30 install, via Irinikus youtube video (conflict-free Tezro install) I see that I have "MIPSpro Compilers: Version 7.2.1. We have 7.4+ updates in the FTP, but from what I can tell they require 7.4, which we don't have in the FTP. Are the 7.4+ a significant difference from 7.2?
Thank you.

We have the entire set. You need to download everything in the 7.4 directory.

Hamei, I appreciate the input. I'd love to know what some of the differences are between .22 and .30.
Thanks.

.30 is mostly beneficial for the Chimera systems as it contains better drivers, newer firmware, a new firewire stack etc. The octane is NOT a chimera system, so it doesn't gain as much benefits. Any version between .22 and .30 can run most FOSS compiled for IRIX.

I see, thanks Raion. Is there a list of the best FOSS available?
