IRIX Binaries

Step 1: Onre’s optlocal

https://esp.iki.fi/irix-optlocal.tgz

This is a large tarball of precompiled IRIX binaries.

This may be used to ‘bootstrap’ your IRIX system.

Usage

Fetch this file (using some method) to your IRIX host. As root, extract it to /.

Inside the file there is an optlocal.profile file which sets rld search paths accordingly.

NOTE: this includes an /etc/sudoers file with my username. Replace with yours instead of blaming onre for trying to hack you.

NOTE: curl expects to find a cacert.pem containing certificates in /opt/local/etc. You can get it here: https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem.

What’s included:

• openssl 1.0.2q
• curl 7.6.2
• bash 4.4
• m4 1.4.17
• berkeley db 6.2.23NC
• sudo 1.8.26

Step 2: Tardist Ports at ports.sgi.sh

Tardists are available on ports.sgi.sh in the lang category.

Step 3: irixports

pkgsrc

Unxmaal and Onre did some work with pkgsrc but the effort stalled due to the size of the project. If you’re interested, here are notes:
