[Plib-users] Need I use irix-hack.pl before I make the file in SGI?

[Weining Gu <cr...@us...>]

From the web site of Flight Gear, there's a README.Unix,
ftp://ftp.aem.umn.edu/pub/fgfs/Source/Snapshots/FlightGear-0.7.3/docs-mini

Need I use the following steps to compile plib and FlighrGear-0.7.3?
 sh$ CC="cc -Xcpluscomm" CXX=CC ./configure
 find . -name Makefile -exec  ./irix-hack.pl {} \;
 make
 su
 make install 

Actually, I can compile Plib files only using: 
./configure
make
su
make install
 
Thanks.

IV. Procedure to build FGFS with Native SGI Irix Compilers from CVS Sources
====================================================================

(Contributed by Todd Smith <ms...@si...> with modifications
and updates by Curt Olson)

Download the latest version of plib (1.1.11) from:

    http://www.woodsoup.org/~sbaker/plib/

Configure it with the default prefix of /usr/local which places
everthing in a tree rooted at /usr/local/plib:

    sh$ CC="cc -Xcpluscomm" CXX=CC ./configure

*Before* running make, fix up the plib Makefiles using the script
provided with the Flight Gear distribution:

    find . -name Makefile -exec .../src/FlightGear-0.7.x/irix-hack.pl {} \;

This applies a fix in all the Makefiles to the lib creation command
(to use CC -ar rather than ar) as per a tip in the SGI pipeline
periodical.

Now, make and install plib.

Download the latest fgfs source snapshot from:

    ftp://ftp.flightgear.org/pub/fgfs/Source/Snapshots/

Configure and build fgfs as you did plib:

    sh$ CC="cc -Xcpluscomm" CXX=CC ./configure
    sh$ find . -name Makefile -exec .../src/FlightGear-0.7.x/irix-hack.pl {}
\;
