Customers cannot build anything on 6.2 even if the install the above subsystems, unless they buy our IDO. I said it many times, to be able to build anything on 6.2 they still miss a linker (the GNU linker is not supported in any official GNU or Cygnus releases on any SGI and we don't include /usr/lib/crt[1n].o with our headers and libraries) David Miller has a heavily patched working GNU linker that creates Linux elf-32 binaries. He told me that it should be easy to make it produce native IRIX binaries. As for the crt[1n].o files I really hope they are not a problem to give away. >That's just the *BASE* header files. > This is correct. From the point of view of the original complaint Is not enough. -- Peace, Ariel From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Return-Path: From: ariel@yon.engr.sgi.com (Ariel Faigon) Message-ID: <199606181721.KAA14883@yon.engr.sgi.com> Subject: Re: anyone know if this is true?
