revised notes from the DT Brainstorming Session At the Forum, this is
the janitor's best attempt at articulating our Projected TO DO list
out to December 31, 1997
This document is a record of everything we did to upgrade and then
re-compile the DT on IRIX 6.2 with the "bare-bones" o32 option. The
reason this is "Chapter 1" is that we have not yet succeeded in
moving to n32, by far and away the most challenging undertaking of
anyone's move to IRIX 6.2 from an IRIX 5 universe. Some of these
details are described in section 2, "The Challenge of n32". (ASCII text version)
We begin to more concretely articulate our desire and
interest in engaging as many of you as we can in a
mutual form of colloboration to extend the value of
the DT for everyone.
There are nine COFF (Common Object File Format) binaries
and object files still included on the v6.1 toolbox. Here
we list the 7 locations where things aren't right with an
IRIX 6 universe and attempt to explain why.
The v6.1 DT content spans 3 CDs. We list here what lives on which
CD. IF you want to perform a download you MUST understand
what content lives on which CD below so you can perform file
and/or directory downloads correctly.
There are problems you may encounter using the DT CD set. Here
we outline common ones and their workarounds which may prove of
value to you.
