Hi, I'm about to attempt a port of ATT C++ 2.0 to an SGI Iris 4D220. The instructions I have don't address SGI machines. They are for HP's, Suns, and AT&T machines. Does anyone - who's been through this already - have any tips, advice, etc. that would be helpful? I'm just barely familiar enough with Unix to do this. Thanks, Andrew Rapo

I have successfully ported AT&T C++ version 2.1 to a couple of SGI platforms. You should select SYS=SYSV and OS=svr3 in all significant makefiles. You should also pay particular attention to the #include files which are constructed by the makefile in ./incl-master. The only proto header file which required modification was math.h. In particular, several function prototypes are inconsistent with the definitions contained in the distributed /usr/include/math.h. The easiest fix for these differences is to look at the proto header file in ./incl-master and add lines similar in form to those which were added to compensate for differences in the Alliant architecture. This permits you to then use the same set of proto header files to build C++ on several difference architectures thereby only having to modify the makefiles. Compare the prototypes presented in the SGI version of math.h, i.e. /usr/include/math.h, with those presented in AT&T's proto header file in order to construct the corrected instances. If you run into problems, feel free to send me Email and I will make an attempt to respond as soon as my schedule permits. Good luck. eric
