This email describes how I have successfully compiled git on IRIX6.5 with the
native MIPSpro compiler version 7.4.4m and successfully run nearly all of the
tests using the Korn shell.
A series of 7 patches will follow this email. The patches work around a couple
of flaws in the IRIX c99 compiler, and the not-quite-recent build environment.
A build script is provided at the end of this email.
The GIT_SKIP_TESTS environment variable was used to skip tests which still fail.
The tests which still fail do so because of an ancient iconv, with one exception:
the t5000 tests which fail are due to the installed gnu tar being too old.
Two lingering concerns:
1) Building with -Ofast produced an executable which segfaulted and could not
pass the tests.
2) Building without THREADED_DELTA_SEARCH=1 produced an executable which
segfaulted and could not pass the tests.
I have no debugger.
Otherwise, I've been using this executable somewhat and have not experienced any
problems. Maybe it will be useful to others.
