6.5.30 /usr/include wanted - onre - 11-27-2018

Hello,

I'm working on something for which I need IRIX include files, preferably 6.5.30. Could some kind soul possibly make a .tar of theirs and upload it somewhere? Not on the forum, as the attachments don't seem to work, though.

The system header files would be enough, but having other stuff in there does not matter either.

No longer needed. Curiosity got the best of me and I drove to where my Octane is, booted it up and got the files.

The academic answer is that there is a way to get some of the include files when you have the inst package files, at least some of them.

The tool mydb from http://persephone.cps.unizar.es/~spd/src/other/mydb.c can read inst packages and extract individual files, like include files.
But it will not get you the machine specific headers, unless you can filter out by machine architecture and graphics board. Sadly the tool is old and doesn't know about Impact/Oddysey graphics nor Octanes and Tezro's, hence the academic answer.

Installing 6.5.30 on an O2 or Octane and tarballing them seems the most direct approach, since there are no IRIX root images floating about.

Thank you, the tool is rather useful even with those limitations.

Also, TIL that apparently /usr/lib contains o32, not n32 libraries. Maybe I try extracting them from the installation media to save another round-trip.
