IRIX 5 GRASS

[Bill Brown]

Kurt,

I compiled GRASS for IRIX 5.2 a few weeks ago.  Here's my compilation
notes:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few compile problems:

To fix the i.points, i.ortho.photo, i.vpoints problem:
make the function "screen" in the files "mark.c" a non-static function.
(Just delete the keyword "static" where the function is defined)
These files need to get this fix:
src/imagery/i.points/mark.c
src.alpha/imagery/i.ortho.photo/photo.2image/mark.c
src.alpha/imagery/i.ortho.photo/photo.2target/mark.c
src.alpha/imagery/i.vpoints/mark.c

To compile xgrass, I needed to use these XCFLAGS: 
XCFLAGS             = -D_NO_PROTO -DXM_1_1_BC -Umips

To compile v.digit, I needed to remove this dependancy from the Gmakefile:
menus.o: menus.i

Everything else compiled OK.

xdigit did not work correctly when run.  To fix I added this test in the
function init_graphics() in the file src/xgrass/xdigit/draw.c : (~line 76)

    if(XtIsRealized(canvas)){
	/* ...body of function... */
    }

This is the head file I used:

#                   LIBRULE = ar rc $@ `lorder $(OBJ) | tsort`
LIBRULE             = ar ruv $@ $?

USE_TERMIO          = -DUSE_TERMIO
USE_MTIO            = -DUSE_MTIO

I guess it depends somewhat on what it looks like now, but I had
some Mars data in a lat-long location & it seemed to work OK.

Thanks for the encouragement - comments like these are what keeps the
GRASS growing! :-)
