I'm getting somewhere with the build of Python 2.7.16 and i discovered several Modules in the source code which are specifically targeted for SGI's:
Code:
# SGI IRIX specific modules -- off by default.
# These module work on any SGI machine:
# *** gl must be enabled higher up in this file ***
#fm fmmodule.c $(GLHACK) -lfm -lgl # Font Manager
#sgi sgimodule.c # sgi.nap() and a few more
# This module requires the header file
# /usr/people/4Dgifts/iristools/include/izoom.h:
#imgfile imgfile.c -limage -lgutil -lgl -lm # Image Processing Utilities
# These modules require the Multimedia Development Option (I think):
#al almodule.c -laudio # Audio Library
#cd cdmodule.c -lcdaudio -lds -lmediad # CD Audio Library
#cl clmodule.c -lcl -lawareaudio # Compression Library
#sv svmodule.c yuvconvert.c -lsvideo -lXext -lX11 # Starter Video
# The FORMS library, by Mark Overmars, implements user interface
# components such as dialogs and buttons using SGI's GL and FM
# libraries. You must ftp the FORMS library separately from
# ftp://ftp.cs.ruu.nl/pub/SGI/FORMS. It was tested with FORMS 2.2a.
# NOTE: if you want to be able to use FORMS and curses simultaneously
# (or both link them statically into the same binary), you must
# compile all of FORMS with the cc option "-Dclear=__GLclear".
# The FORMS variable must point to the FORMS subdirectory of the forms
# toplevel directory:
#FORMS=/ufs/guido/src/forms/FORMS
#fl flmodule.c -I$(FORMS) $(GLHACK) $(FORMS)/libforms.a -lfm -lgl
So i'm going to attempt to include these in my dual Nekoware build, but for the FORMS Module code i need the FORMS source from the University of Utrecht ftp site. Unfortunately that is no longer available and archive.org doesn't have a post 2000 snapshot of that particular directory.
Any chance that someone has this stashed/archived?
