PACKAGE NAME ------------ neko_readline DESCRIPTION ----------- readline is a library which interactive programs can use for editing capabilities like editing command lines as they are typed in. SOURCE/VERSION -------------- readline-8.0 / 6 IRIX/MIPSPRO VERSION -------------------- 6.5.22 / 7.4.4m ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES --------------------- setenv CC c99 setenv CFLAGS '-O2 -mips4 -n32 -diag_error 1035 -woff 3970' setenv CPPFLAGS '-I/usr/nekoware/include' setenv LDFLAGS '-L/usr/nekoware/lib' for building on mips3 systems, use: setenv CFLAGS '-O2 -mips3 -n32 -diag_error 1035 -woff 3970' CONFIGURE FLAGS --------------- patch -p0 < readline-8.0_irix.patch ./configure --prefix=/usr/nekoware --with-curses gmake gmake examples gmake install KNOWN DEPENDENCIES ------------------ neko_ncurses.sw.lib 6 gmake to make the library ERRORS/MISCELLANEOUS -------------------- The patch is needed to link libreadline.so and libhistory.so to the c and ncurses library with the correct sgi1.0 IVERSION This is because python builds assume that readline's curses/termcap library linkage is the same as should be used for the Python's curses module. I've therefore relinked the readline with ncurses. This package has dual support for both mips3 and mips4 architecture, controlled by the mach(CPUARCH=R4000) switch for libraries and executables.
