Here is some parts of the TeXhax digest, including subscription info.
June is the machine that is (was) distributing Unix flavored TeX.
If you have specific questions, I will try to answer them.
Cheers!

Subject: TeX 3.1 on sgi irix
Keywords: TeX 3.1, SGI IRIX
I report my first time installation on an sgi IRIX 3.3.1
system.
My main problem was in realizing that the only file that needed to be
fixed was site.h, and that all compiles should be preceeded with
a make veryclean. Without starting from a known state, the compiles
would end up with odd linkage errors.
Another problem is the lack of an alloca function. This
can be obtained from any gnu source. It should be
included in the makes, and the absence of that function
noted and the makefile made to behave accordingly.
My site.h file is appended below, along with the makefile
that I used.
I will post another note with my remaining questions and
problems.
I use both a hp laser jet 2 and a ps printer, and the Beebe dvijep
collection works fine. I also use the dvips from labrea.
They did not appear to work at first because of the lack of an 8 bit
data path through the lp interface script. The key
is that you use a stty statment with the raw option. Without
it, you get output, but it is sloppy looking, and some
characters work, some don't. The diagnostic is that when
you print the story.tex test file, all of the 'i's and 'l's
drop out, but the rest of the output looks just fine !
Here is the stty params that worked. The printer is
connected via a serial port at 38400 baud.
BAUDRATE=38400
STTYPARAMS="raw cs8 -parenb"
#
stty $BAUDRATE $STTYPARAMS <&1
# verify the stty settings into the log file. Comment when done.
echo >> $LOGFILE
stty -a <&1 2>&1 >> $LOGFILE
echo >> $LOGFILE
Also beware of handshake problems. Testing 8 bit data was
tough. Also, the iris lp interface script implimentation
is faulty. Your stderr output is sunk to the printer.
So the best way to debug the script is to run them by
hand and look for errors. I have complained to the
right people at sgi about this.
Here is the site.h
