Looking for IRIS GL examples - KayBee - 01-03-2021
Hi Irixians,
I am messing around with IRIS GL, can compile and execute simple graphics tests but I don't have the examples with my IRIX install:
/usr/people/4Dgifts/examples/glpg
I would actually like to get my hands on the whole 4Dgifts directory.
Would someone be willing to tell me how to install them or even better, provide them? I am guessing they are from the a much earlier IRIX version.
Thank you.

You should be able to find them on IRIX 4.0.5 media. At least, my 4.0.5 installation has the /usr/people/4Dgifts directory. Getting them to build correctly on newer IRIX versions might be a challenge, though.

Hi JP,
Thank you for responding, sorry to be a pain, do the example files exist in your system at 4Dgifts/examples/glpg?

Yes. I can also tell you that they came from the IDO-4.1.1 CD (the "dev" subsystem) rather than IRIX 4.0.5 itself.

Now I am trying to get this tool to compile, which can extract software packages from the .idb files: https://gist.github.com/camthesaxman/dcc60d98f152b4fed32dfc18d7246551
which I just got to compile. Man, a lot of hoops.

Hi Again JP,
No joy yet, that tool keeps reporting an issue with a directory. Stuck for now.
Cheers,

I've created .tar.gz of the 4Dgifts directory for you. I'll PM you a download link shortly.
RE: Looking for IRIS GL examples - KayBee - 01-04-2021
Got them, thank you JP!
I will also buy Nero and test burning IRIX .iso in case this kind of thing happens again, or perhaps I will be able to help someone else.
Cheers Sir.

In the spirit of sharing, if anyone else needs the examples, just PM me and I'll send them your way. I have the IRIX4 4dgift versions from jpstewart, and the IRIX5 examples as well.
Thanks again JP.
