I finally succeeded in compiling the latest Tcl/Tk
version 8.6.18 and several Tcl extensions using my build framework
BAWT.
To be able to run the binaries on my Indy and my virtual Indy's using
MAME and the
Irresponsible Rust IRIX Simulator
I decided to use MIPS3 / n32 mode.
Based on the poFti package,
I developed an interactive FTI editor.
It is part of my tool poApps.
Binary poApps versions for Windows, Linux and macOS can be found on the
poApps download page, a binary poApps version for IRIX is available in the
SgiTcl Download section.
I am a recently retired software engineer working since 1986 in the domains of
3D computer graphics and simulation.
I worked on nearly all Motorola and MIPS based SGI systems
starting with an IRIS 3030 running the Robert Abel software,
intensively using Performer on O2 and Onyx systems in the 90's for training
simulations and slowly declining SGI usage and replacing it with
OpenSceneGraph and NVidia GPU's around 2008.
During that time I collected several SGI workstations to keep them
away from the .
On the other hand I have been using Tcl/Tk for nearly 30 years for professional
and private usage and am still engaged in the development of several
Tcl/Tk extensions.
My goal for this year is to get most of my SGI machines up and running
as well as porting the current Tcl/Tk version and extensions to IRIX 6.5.
