Hmmm, yes, it seems to be OK, now.
Don't know what I did... :-?

I have finally managed to compile it both with gcc/g++ and MIPSpro native
compiler.
Have aplied the patch noted by Guaca Mole (thank's!) and it seems to work
fine now.


To compile in IRIX with gcc:

Modify genkit, adding the following in line 49:
-----
    IRIX64	{ array set X {make gmake}
		  array set Z {stripopt "-f"} }
-----

Then, after "tclsh genkit A", do the following:
1. Apply patch to Tcl from Guaca Mole's link
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=878333&group_id=108
94&atid=110894
2. Modify src/vfs/configure, line 6063:
    vars="-I\"$(${CYGPATH} ${TCL_SRC_DIR}/generic)\""
   into
    vars=""
3. File: src/mk/Makefile.in:
   Remove all calls to "ranlib"


To compile with MIPSpro:

Modify genkit, adding the following in line 49:
-----
    IRIX64	{ array set X {make gmake gcc cc g++ CC}
		  array set Z {stripopt "-f"} }
-----

Set environment variables, e.g. in tcsh (HAVE_LONG_LONG define is for mk
package):
-----
setenv CC cc
setenv CXX CC
setenv CFLAGS "-O -mips4 -n32 -DHAVE_LONG_LONG"
setenv CXXFLAGS "-O -mips4 -n32 -DHAVE_LONG_LONG"
----

Do also previous steps 1 through 3 after "tclsh genkit A"


For Guaca Mole:
I have both the MIPSpro 7.4 compiler and gcc working fine. Just installed
gcc from the SGI freeware distribution: http://freeware.sgi.com


Now, I've found another problem, this time with encodings and both in IRIX,
Solaris an Linux, but works fine in Windows and also with standard
tclsh/wish.

E.g. the output of this should be the input: É

----
% encoding convertfrom utf-8 [encoding convertto utf-8 "É"]
Ã
----


PS: Jean-Claude, let me know if you want the IRIX Tclkit binary for your
site?


Best regards
Óscar
