Hi IRIX'ers,

I have not given up yet... but had crash on my development box, which took a week to clean up.

I believe that I now have the dependency resolution working (Mk/Scripts/irix.depends-list.sh) as when I go to to "fetch-recursive" from "/usr/ports/security/openssl" it goes up the tree and then fails in "pkg" target, when doing a compiler check: "/usr/ports/Mk/Uses/compiler.mk".

This make script pretty much assumes you have gcc as compiler and so fails with MIPSpro.

the Script is pretty horrible as it does lots of test on compiler coverage and it is not clear how this is then used later.

Raion - did you reach this point ?

I have started to look into it, to make it work with MIPSpro but it is pretty opaque...

Raised Issue in gitlab: https://gitlab.com/zebity/freebsd-ports/-/issues/10

So as you can see just trying to plug each hole as I work to get openssl built via Ports.

EDIT/DANGER !! : In hacking the "Uses/compiler.mk" script (which sends compiler output to /dev/null), I noticed that this does chmod on /dev/null which in turn breaks "Infosearch" (it errors with message saying it cannot find the page). So you need to chmod /dev/null back to a+wr to fix the created problem. This took me a day to diagnose and fix ....

Cheers from Oz,
