[Texmacs-dev] Success on Irix

[Chuck Sites]

I just wanted to drop in a note that I was able to compile TexMacs on 
and SGI Irix 6.5 machine.  But I had a few problems specifically with 
the configure and makefiles.

First, I'm using gcc 3.2.2. with SGI's Freeware (for Guile) and a small
'build' script that looks like this:

#!/bin/bash
#
#
export 
LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH=/sw/kde31/qt/lib:/sw/kde31/lib:/usr/lib32:/lib32:/usr/freeware/lib32:/usr/local/lib32
export QTDIR=/sw/kde31/qt
export KDEDIR=/sw/kde31
export CC="/usr/local/bin/gcc -mips3"
export CXX="/usr/local/bin/g++ -mips3"
#export CXXFLAGS="-O2 -LANG:std -OPT:Olimit_opt=on -OPT:Olimit=8500  -woff 
1021,1209,1233,1314,1355,1375,1506"
export MAKE="/usr/freeware/bin/gmake -j35"
./configure --prefix=/sw/apps3/texmacs 
--with-extra-includes=/sw/kde31/include:/usr/freeware/include 
--with-extra-libs=/sw/kde31/lib:/usr/freeware/lib32 --enable-libsuffix=32 
-with-x

This almost works; except in src/common.makefile CXXGUILE doesn't seem to be
used properly, and Guile/Scheme/object.hh

#include <libguile/tags.h> 

is not found.  Changing the line in src/common.make 

CXXTEMPLATE = -I/usr/freeware/include

Forces the include and everything compiles just fine.  It might be nice if 
configure used and passed the '--with-extra' (s) 

One other comment that I didn't see documented, but it's worth a note,
I had a version of gmake 3.72.1 hidden over in /usr/local/bin (in my path)
and gmake just skipped just about everything.  It took me a while to realize
just how old of a version that was. (Can you say confused :=) 
The /usr/freeware/bin/gmake is 3.79.1 and workes just fine. 

Anyway 'good work' to the developers.
