Need sample IRIX uname results - jwhat - 07-15-2023
Hi SGI/IRIX'ers,
I am working on getting a source driven way to install GNU and other software on IRIX.
This requires "knowledge" of the OS as part of the configure.
All my IRIX machines are 6.5.30 so I need to get a more diverse set of results.
Octane:
% /sbin/uname -Ra
IRIX64 porcipine 6.5 6.5.30f 07202013 IP30
Fuel:
1% /sbin/uname -Ra
IRIX64 pink 6.5 6.5.30m 07202013 IP35
So asking if people could please post their IRIX: "/sbin/uname -Ra' results (not /usr/freeware/bin/uname )
I would really like to get results that are not IRIX 6.5.30 ...
Thanks in advance.
Cheers from Oz,
jwhat/John.

You want uname -saR for the stock one or you can mandate people use my neweoe version which is properly POSIX compliant (the stock command is NOT)

The stock IRIX command is broken because -r and -R are reversed from literally every other OS published.

Details here. I do not recommend working around the stock uname because when IRIXCE is stable there's going to be no reason to use a historical form of IRIX 6.5.x because:
1. Security holes will be patched
2. Many libraries will be upgraded/patched
3. It will form a more correct development environment.
Do we really want to go through and patch every script out there using uname -r? I think not.

Hi Raion,
on IRIX 6.5.10 "/sbin/uname -saR" produces same result as "/sbin/uname -aR" ...
% /sbin/uname -saR
IRIX64 pink 6.5 6.5.30m 07202013 IP35
% /sbin/uname -sR
IRIX64 6.5 6.5.30m
% /sbin/uname -aR
IRIX64 pink 6.5 6.5.30m 07202013 IP35
But key point is I just want "standard" IRIX result, not any special variation result, as I can't create scripts based on special variations.
Cheers from Oz,

Interesting, I always used -saR on .22 (I don't really use .30 except on the tezro)
Anyways I certainly understand your thing. Either way we'll work out how to figure it out.
