Where can I find prebuilt Subversion binaries for SGI IRIX?


We have a few SGI Onyx 350 and Orgin 350 systems running IRIX 6.5.x that we would like to install Subversion on. One of them will likely be used as a simple repository server running svnserve. The others will only need client installs.

The Subversion webpage has links to unofficial binaries for many *NIX systems, including HP-UX, Solaris, AIX, the BSDs and Linux distros. Unfortunately, there aren't any for IRIX. A Google search also comes up empty.

So, is there someplace on the web that publishes IRIX binaries for Subversion?

If not, does anyone have experience compiling SVN from source on such systems? How hard is it to track down all of the dependencies? Are there any caveats we should be aware of?


Solution

  • For a machine like yours, the source code build is probably the way to go(it's one of the advantages of having source). The dependencies aren't that bad. The dependencies are zlib, the Apache Portable Runtime (and the apr-utils), neon (optional), and BerkelyDB(optional also).
    Get the Apache and neon, and berkelyDB stuff first. then just ./configure --prefix=;make;make install
