Hi, Just downloaded BRL-CAD and I tried to compile it on an Sillicon Graphics O2 workstaion running IRIX 6.5.23.
First of all it complains on that the time.h exist but can be used... during the config.
I browsed through the configure script and the Makefiles and found that the "ranlib" is used but this is not commonly used on IRIX since it's done by the linker anyway.
It also looks like the "libc.so" (std IRIX C Library) is not used. Is there a reason for this?
Is there anyone out there who have spend the time use the libc.so instead of all the ac_cv_lib....* ?
Or is there anyone out there who have a build for IRIX 6.5.22 or later that use the IRIX standard libs?
Thanks
Daniel
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Your patches will be most appreciated. :) I have fixes in CVS now that should help improve the AR vs. RANLIB detection that I'm testing on a variety on systems. If all goes well, this problem should hopefully be fixed for you by the next release.

oops I was refering to term.h and not time.h

Hi Again,
I solved the problem.
Just replaced RANLIB in the autogen and configure.ac with "AR"
[ar -ts] do the same thing on IRIX as RANLIB do for other O/S's.
I'll try to backtrack my changes and post the complete change on this web later.
I also found that I got less Warnings if I used the MipsPro Compiler 7.3 than the GNU compiler. I think this may be related to my settings.
