 Q:	Can I run Gaim on IRIX?
 
-A:	It has been done before.  Please see
-<a href="http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=725839&amp;forum_id=665">this thread</a>
-at our SourceForge Forum.
+A:	Sure you can - the amount of effort involved depends on which compiler you use;
+there is however no official support.
+<p>
+GCC (tested with 3.4 on IRIX 6.5.29):
+All but one necessary changes were included in the official sources.
+You will notice GnuTLS will not be included by default, even if the necessary
+includes and libraries are available; to add SSL support, open the configure script
+in your favourite editor and replace all instances of "-lnsl" by "-lnsl -lgnutls".
+Ask no questions :-) it Just Works. Mozilla-NSS wasn't tested.
+</p>
+<p>
+MIPSPro CC (tested with 7.4.4m on IRIX 6.5.29):
+Less trivial for obvious ANSI-tightness reasons. There's an unofficial patch for
+2.0.0 beta3 available
+<a href="http://jesuschrist.be/gaim/gaim-2.0.0beta3_irix.patch">here</a>, which
+applies (amongst others) the SSL hack described above. You will need to configure
+WITHOUT the Zephyr protocol plugin.
+</p>
+<p>
+NOTE: Jabber crashed gaim when using TLS. This is a bug inside GnuTLS that might
+or might not be fixed by the time you read this.
+</p>
 
+Q:	Can I run Gaim on HPUX?
+
+A:	Yes, you can; with GCC 4.1.1 on HPUX 11.11 at least it worked fine.
+There is however no official support.
+<p>
+The build scripts that are shipped with the "official" releases
+are unfortunately incompatible with the HPUX linker; fetching the svn version and
+running autogen.sh however gives you a healthy build dir. Configure gaim WITHOUT 
+the X screensaver extension and disable the gtk- and glibtests; no source hacks are needed.
+</p>

 Q:	Can I run Gaim on MacOSX?
 
 A:	Yes you can, but we do not provide a package for it.  The reason
