Eclipse 1.0 (may or may not run on IRIX)
I remember someone asking about this. 

https://archive.eclipse.org/eclipse/down...111070001/

Give it a try? a later version **may** work.

Technical problems should be sent my way.

RE: Eclipse 1.0 (may or may not run on IRIX)
I think I did! I'll put it on my list of things to try! Considering this requires Java 1.3, and the latest Java available for Irix seems to be 1.4, it could be that a newer version could work as well.

If anyone knows where to find a Java compiler btw (rather than just JRE), I'd be grateful Smile

[edit] Does libXm.so.2.1 exist for IRIX?

RE: Eclipse 1.0 (may or may not run on IRIX)
Hi karpour & Raion,

I spent a lot of energy trying to get Eclipse running under IRIX over 15 years ago.

A few things stopped this:

1. Eclipse graphics toolkit (SWT ???) requires native porting, which was done for X11 but there was a bug ... see (3)
2. Eclipse build systems is incredibly convoluted and hard to work with (no simple unzip, configure and make process I can assure you)
3. X11 bug which caused run time failure and for which IRIX never provided fix and was beyond my X11 knowledge to debug

Thrashed away on this by myself, feeding progress updates to Nekochan forum, but never got it to work and there was little interest from community back then.

Who knows there might be some remnants of this on the Nekonomicon.

Just a warning, if you can get it going then that would be great, but I believe that there are substantive other Java problems that would limit its usefulness.

Cheers from Oz,
