Which IRIX release (uname -R) and compiler version are you using?

I have IRIX 6.5.29m and MIPSpro Compiler 7.4.4m.

Both 'sgi' and '__sgi' appear to be predefined by the preprocessor on my system. I wasn't aware of '__sgi' when I added 'sgi', otherwise I would have used it.

On my system, defining _SGI_SOURCE causes _SGIAPI to be enabled which causes all of the BSD types to be enabled. In my header files in /usr/include/ everywhere I see a test for _BSD_TYPES, I also see a test for _SGIAPI (or something equivalent) like this:

   #if _SGIAPI || defined(_BSD_TYPES)

So defining _BSD_TYPES will probably not affect compiling on IRIX for me (though I haven't tested your patches yet), but do your header files not do the same thing with _SGI_SOURCE, _SGIAPI, and _BSD_TYPES?

Which shell are you using? Bash? or the native Korn shell? If you're trying to use the Korn shell, then you'll need a patch to t/test-lib.sh in order for the test suite to work properly. I can send it to you if you'd like.

I compile and test with the following config.mak settings:

GIT_SKIP_TESTS := \
   t3900.1[129] t3900.2[0234] \
   t5100.5 t5100.1[09] \
   t8005.[234]
export GIT_SKIP_TESTS

# perl 5.8.0 # python 2.1 # GNU tar 1.2 PERL_PATH = /apps/bin/perl PYTHON_PATH = /apps/bin/python TAR = /sw/local/bin/gtar

CC = c99 CFLAGS = -n32 -O2

NO_C99_FORMAT = 1 NO_CURL = 1 NO_TCLTK = 1 NO_MMAP = NO_OPENSSL = 1 BLK_SHA1 = 1 DEFAULT_PAGER = more

# For IRIX <= 6.5.20 compatibility (uname -R) # i.e. the next two are not necessary for IRIX > 6.5.20 NO_STRLCPY = 1 NO_DEFLATE_BOUND = 1
