Problems compiling 1.10 on IRIX

[wingnut]

Im seeing the following error:

I also see this behaviour, which is a bit strange:

bzflag/bzflag-1.9.10.20031209(25)>make IRIX
don't know how to make IRIX (bu42).
bzflag/bzflag-1.9.10.20031209(26)>make irix
don't know how to make irix (bu42).

Any suggestions?

You're reading old documentation somewhere on how to build. That doesn't mean that it'll work on IRIX if you did do the right steps anyways, but the "make irix" hasn't been used for over a year now. Now it's all done using the autotools.

You'll run ./autogen.sh, ./configure, and make and the build should begin. I've not ever built on IRIX using gcc, so I won't be surprised if something creeps up. I always use MIPSpro myself when I'm making an IRIX release. That doesn't mean it "shouldn't" work, though.

If you are merely wanting a 1.10.6 release, I completed the IRIX build a few days back. The binary is posted on the SourceForge files section now as a tar.gz for n32. I'm still needing to make an o32 test release that will happen "real soon now".

If you do just want to build for the sake of building (and we appreciate you doing that), then I recommend checking out the source code from CVS. There were several IRIX fixes that I had to make after 1.10.6 source distribution was released. To checkout from CVS, you'll do something like:

Code: Select all

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@anon.sf.net:/cvsroot/bzflag login
(no password)
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@anon.sf.net:/cvsroot/bzflag checkout -r v1_10branch bzflag
cd bzflag
./autogen.sh
./configure
make

That "should" do the trick. Best of luck, and feel free to follow up with any issues you run into. If you'd like to interactively work through the problem, there is usually someone willing to help on IRC in #bzflag or irc.freenode.net.

Cheers!
