The question:
Dear friends,
The warning was so I can avoid a barrage of nastygrams. I do respect
the strictly-defined purpose of this list.
I am trying to install a GCC compiler on an IRIX machine. I know there
is a neatly packaged binary for Suns. I would like something similar if
possible. Otherwise I have to solve the chicken and egg riddle of
needing a compiler to compile my compiler. Can anyone shove me in the
right direction?
And, is there a similar list for IRIX I should know about?
Sean

NOTEWORTHY COMMENTS:
There is a list for IRIX; search the archives for the reference.
There are binary distributions of gcc for IRIX, however I don't know
where to get them! :)
However, a binary gcc for irix is fairly useless since irix doesn't
ship with needed libraries/includes/tools/etc. You are stuck buying
SGI's compiler. So unless you need gcc for some specific reason
that SGI's compiler doesn't address...

I think you need IDO from SGI for IRIX before you can install GCC
compilers.

links).
I only know of news:comp.sys.sgi.admin - dejanews quite often provides
better information than SGI's own web support pages.
