get you going with more success..

No, I am working on a script that will create a .tardist when it is compi=

Ok.. which version of Irix are you using? (6.x is pretty much mandatory, =
cause
anything less isn't
all that posix compliant)
which version of GTK are you using? Is it compiled, or did you download i=
t from
freeware.sgi.com? (I compiled mine, not to say that I have had any luck w=
ith
0.7.4 working properly...)
Also, you need to edit the abi-0.7.4/src/config/platforms/irix.mk file, t=
o
"fix" the stop error.
find the line near the bottom that reads:
UNIX_CAN_BUILD_STATIC=3D1
to read:
UNIX_CAN_BUILD_STATIC=3D0
That is a *big* one...
Next, comment out the following optimizer information...
OPTIMIZER =3D -g -Wall -W -ansi -pedantic
to:
OPTIMIZER =3D -g #-Wall -W -ansi -pedantic
and
OPTIMIZER =3D -O2 -Wall -W -ansi -pedantic
OPTIMIZER =3D #-O2 -Wall -W -ansi -pedantic
These last two changes will increase stability a great deal..
Lastly, add the following to:
PLATFORM_FLAGS =3D -DIRIX
so that is reads:
PLATFORM_FLAGS =3D -DIRIX -D_BSD_COMPAT

I'd check with you if you have a complete dist-package of ABIWord that is
working on IRIX.
I have been struggeling for some time with compiling it, but I can't seem toget it to work.
Also if you have any help for compiling and installing on IRIX I would
appreciate it.This is how far I have come:
- installed gtk, gcc and all the other necessary packages from
freeware.sgi.com
- downloaded all the tar.gz packages from ABI
- packed them up
- done a make -i from the /usr/people/sgi/abiword/abi-0.7.4/ directory
(where /usr/people/sgi is the user I have on the machine)
- waited a loooong while for it to compile
- read all the errors (without understanding much

I also tried to install some precompiled stuff from the August mailinglist,
but the program coredumps when I start it (no output) AbiWord (from

I wasn't able to give it a try.. :(
I would really appreciate some/your help!Kind regards,
