Greetings all..
For those that are concerned:
I've moved ahead a bit with compiling 0.7.0 of abiword for the Silicon
Graphics. I've gotten past the "signal()" incompatibility/error by removing
"-ansi" and & "-pedantic" from the optimiser line in the "src/config/platforms/irix.mk"
file.
gcc 2.8.1 now skips over the reported argument problem with the "signal" function. However, the compiler was still reporting the problem as a warning. The warnings actually gave better detail about how to fix the "broken" code. I'll post the warnings in another message. Perhaps it is a simple modification. I don't know enough to fix it myself.
My current problem is to now have the application linkable. The code is compiled into object files, but the linker "yaks" because it can't find some system object files. For instance, the linker is looking for a file in the following path: /usr/lib32/mips3/nonshared/crt1.o
This is fine, except that there is no such directory as "nonshared". I search the SGI developer docs for a "nonshared" directory, and, as far as I can tell, it doesn't exist. I am at a loss.. Perhaps the application is looking for a "static" set of object files. I will try to rebuild abi word as a "dynamically linked" application.
Anyways, I'll post my next installment, when I have time. I'd be interested in having some feedback. (or even help!)
