Installing MIPSpro for use with Modules
---------------------------------------
Install the modules package into the default root. Once this is done,
you can install the MIPSpro compilers as follows.
The MIPSpro modulefile will work with the following general installation:
# inst -r /opt/MIPSpro/"version" -f "location of MIPSpro distribution"
Where version is "version.base" for a base package or the name of a patch set.
If you are applying a patch set to a version in /opt/MIPSpro, you must
copy the version you are patching to the new patch set directory prior to
installing the patches via -r /opt/MIPSpro/"patch set".
Once the software is installed, you must set the MIPSpro link as follows:
# cd /opt/MIPSpro
# ln -s "version" MIPSpro (MIPSpro modulefile uses this link)
When installing compilers from CD-ROM with "inst -r" for use
with the Modules utility, the location of the distribution has to be
specified as:
inst -f /CDROM/dist on IRIX 6.2
inst -f /CDROM/dist/dist6.3 on IRIX 6.3
inst -f /CDROM/dist/dist6.4 on IRIX 6.4
For example to install the MIPSpro C 7.2 CD on an IRIX 6.4 platform under
/opt/MIPSpro:
1. insert the MIPSpro C 7.2 CD in the CDROM drive
2. inst -r /opt/MIPSpro/72 -f /CDROM/dist6.4
3. cd /opt/MIPSpro
4. ln -s 72 MIPSpro
To access the MIPSpro compiler using modules:
% source /opt/modules/modules/init/csh (should be added to .cshrc)
% module load modules (should be added to .cshrc)
% module load MIPSpro (can be added to .cshrc)
For each version of the MIPSpro compiler you maintain, you can create
a modulefile for it by copying the MIPSpro modulefile to /opt/modulefiles
as MIPSpro."version". Then edit MIPSpro."version" and change the
value of MIPSPRO_LEVEL to "version".
Example: You are maintaining a version named old72 as /opt/MIPSpro/old72.
To create a modulefile for /opt/MIPSpro/old72, copy /opt/modulefiles/MIPSpro
to /opt/modulefiles/MIPSpro.old72 and change the value of MIPSPRO_LEVEL
to old72. Users can then change between this version and any other
version using the module swap command.
% module swap MIPSpro MIPSpro.old72
NOTE: you should make sure you have the proper flexlm licenses
installed on the system you intend to run the MIPSpro environment on.
