Hello,

I have installed gcc on IRIX 6.2 after MKN's receipt, and it works
for C files.

When I tried to build groff, the configure script fails:

1) ./configure 
loading cache ./config.cache
checking for prefix by ... checking for grops... /net/sharesgi/bin/grops
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether we are using GNU C... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... no
checking for c++... c++
checking whether we are using GNU C++... yes
checking whether c++ accepts -g... no
checking whether cross-compiling... no
checking that C++ compiler can compile simple program... no
configure: error: a working C++ compiler is required

If I gave gcc explicitly as c++ compiler:

2)CXX=gcc ./configure 
loading cache ./config.cache
checking for prefix by ... checking for grops... /net/sharesgi/bin/grops
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether we are using GNU C... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... no
checking for c++... gcc
checking whether we are using GNU C++... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... no
checking whether cross-compiling... no
checking that C++ compiler can compile simple program... yes
checking that C++ static constructors and destructors are called... no
configure: error: a working C++ compiler is required

Have anybody used gcc with C++ static constructors and destructors on
IRIX 6.2 ?

Maybe it's only an installation problem, but it would be nice to know if
anybody
has got this working before I waste a lot of time on this.

Thanks for any reply.

Hermann

If it might be an installation problem look at my page at
http://www.interlog.com/~kcozens/sgi/ on installing GCC. I haven't tried
compiling C++ code so far. Hope that might give you some help.

Cheers!

Did you install libg++?  As a first guess, that is your problem.

You have to say "CXX=g++" (or "c++"), don't you? gcc is the C compiler, and
while it may know how to compile .c++ files, it won't attempt to link .o's
as C++ objects.

In fact, your original configure seems to have found g++ ("checking for
c++... c++"): "c++" is one of the names by which g++ is installed. The SGI
C++ compiler is actually called "CC".
