The symbol '__sgi' (not '__sgi__') is defined when compiling c code under IRIX. I'm not sure if gcc will set that define

Yes, GCC does define it too. It's my preferred way of identifying IRIX-specific code.

<QUOTE author="gijoe77" post_id="2053" time="1533559067" user_id="243">

so lets say I have "__sig__" in my code, can i "trigger" this code by doing a "-D__sgi__" in CPPFLAGS?

Yes. (Once you correct the small typo!) But if you use __sgi, you don't need to add anything to CPPFLAGS, since that's predefined by both of the commonly used compilers. (And, IIRC, the __ prefix is supposed to be reserved for use by compiler vendors, and not used in user-written code according to the C standards.)

<QUOTE author="gijoe77" post_id="2053" time="1533559067" user_id="243">

Are there certain "-D" strings you use for porting stuff to IRIX? my notes from long ago have "-DIP32 -DIRIX" but I figure those are not very helpful in most software packages

Well, it looks to me like __sgi was intended to be used for that purpose. But plenty of packages will have their own ideas about what to define to identify different OSes. My recommendation is to use __sgi for code you write. For third-party code you work with, don't expect any sort of standardization at all.

Here are my notes on compiling gftp version 2.0.19 (Nekoware's version is 2.0.17)
edit: I looked this over again because I realized I compiled originally with R10k o2 optimizations, so I dug a little deeper into it for the Tezro optimizations. Certain CFLAGS and CPPFLAGS seem to break compilation

Code:

<i>
</i>export CC=/usr/bin/cc
export CFLAGS="-c99 -diag_suppress 3649 -diag_error 1035 -woff all -Ofast=ip35 -g0 -O3 -n32 -mips4 -OPT:Olimit=0:roundoff=3:IEEE_ar=3:fast_sq=ON:div_split=ON:alias=typed -lfastm -lm -TARG:platform=IP35:proc=r16000 -IPA"
export CPPFLAGS=""

/usr/nekoware/bin/sed -i 's/#include <libintl.h>/#include \"..\/intl\/libintl.h\"/' ./lib/gftp.h

./configure --prefix=/usr/local

gmake

some notes:

also need to have "-woff all", otherwise get a compiler error

Code:

cc WARNING:  -p is no longer supported, use speedshop(1) instead
cc ERROR parsing -pthread:  unknown flag

with CPPFLAGS="", need to change "#include <libintl.h>" to '#include "../intl/libintl.h"' in lib/gftp.h

if CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/nekoware/include -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/nekoware/lib -L/usr/local/lib"
and lib/gftp.h still has "#include <libintl.h>" (which is located in /usr/nekoware/include)
get this error:

Code:

cc-1367 cc: ERROR File = sslcommon.c, Line = 152
  A pointer to an incomplete class type is not allowed.

                  ext_str = ASN1_item_d2i (NULL, (const unsigned char **) &ext->value->data, ext->value->length,
                                                                           ^

so path of least resistance for me was just doing CPPFLAGS=""


edit: original posting below

Code:

<i>
</i>export CC=/usr/bin/cc
export CXX=/usr/bin/CC
export CFLAGS="-c99 -diag_suppress 3649 -diag_error 1035 -woff all -g0 -Ofast=ip32_10k -O3 -n32 -mips4 -OPT:Olimit=0:roundoff=3:div_split=ON:alias=typed -TARG:platform=ip32_10k:proc=r12000 -IPA"
export CXXFLAGS="-ptused -diag_suppress 3649 -woff all -g0 -Ofast=ip32_10k -O3 -n32 -mips4 -OPT:Olimit=0:roundoff=3:div_split=ON:alias=typed -TARG:platform=ip32_10k:proc=r12000 -IPA"


had to change "#include <libintl.h>"   to  '#include "../intl/libintl.h"'   in ../../lib/gftp.h
once that was fixed it compiled fine

./configure
gmake
gmake install

My failed attempt at compiling Filezilla 3.35.1 - GCC 4.7.3 is apparently unable to compile it also... I guess we need a newer GCC...

Not happening any time soon. IRIX ABI support was removed in GCCs after 4.7.x. IRIX headers also definitely do not support C++14, haha. Also, weird that it requires C++14. FileZilla isn't great anyway I guess.

oh that's pretty crappy, thanks for the info - good to know.
