Hello all
Last week I was asked to post this so here it is. We recently compiled
grass5.0beta2 on our SGI Origin 2000 running IRIX 6.5. The compile was full of
thousands of warnings, but only 19 changes were required to compile it error
free. These changes are attached with the reasons we thought caused the errors
for anyone who is interested. There was a change that we had to make to the
configure script but I'm not sure if it is a good change since we are not
familiar with how confuigure scripts work.
One thing to note was that we used the SGI compilers with the option for
parallelizing code if it was possible. This option didn't effect the compile of
the program in terms of causing errors but we are not sure if it has provided
any benefit. So far, d.rast using the spearfish database seemes to use multiple
processors but the time is about the same as a single processor. Also
r.surf.contour does not appear to use multiple processors but then again, we
never had it run completely (see the previous post).
Hope this is useful to someone.
