What are the tools, assemblers and compilers to create visual elements in IRIX?

Hi.

For C compilers you have basically two options: native SGI MipsPro C compiler and GNU gcc.

For creating GUIs you will need a GUI toolkit of which there are plenty (albeit old versions): Motif, GTK, Qt, wxWidgets, Tk. Take a look at nekoware and the SGI freeware CDs/online repos.

What is your plan for dev.

I'm also interested in this and would like to convert some old classics (8bit and 16bit) to Native IRIX.
I have an Indy (8 bit graphics) with IRIX 5.3 and I thought this would be a good baseline. My plan is that my Indigo2 (Extreme graphics) will be upgraded to 6.5.22 and used as a test mule of later OS releases to ensure compatibility
I don't fancy developing on the Indigo2 as it's so bloody loud.
