[Yap-users] YAP on IRIX anyone ?

[Frederick I. <fre...@ya...>]

Hi,
I know - why wold anyone want to do this but just for fun lets assume that irix is a nice new fancy os :)
I have downloaded YAP6.2.2 and that didn't get anywhere as it just throws a SIGBUS and dies when it tries to execute ./yap -b .pl/init.py during the build process.
So I thought I would backup to 5.1.3 and see if that played nicely.
It does better (except problems compiling two functions in c_interface.c which require REGISTER_BACKUP_REGS else it throws undeclared BK_H ? errors and a problem with fenv.h requiring a __c99 declaration).
Once past this things got a bit better, although it throws a permission_error in a few of the bootstrap).
Then it gives a "YOP OOPs this is probably a yap problem" error.
I do not have the machine at hand right now - but can post an exact error stack later.
I am using gcc 4.7.2 and irix 6.5 (although I am probably the only person with access to this. I have compiled with the -g flag so I can at least debug and get a stack trace from there.
Any thoughts on where I should look of pieces of codeI can check to try to help identify this?
Any assistance much appreciated..
Cheers
Freddy
