The MIPSpro 7.4. Compiler Release ================================= Each MIPSpro 7.4 Compiler Language is packaged on 3 CD's. 1. MIPSpro 7.4 Compiler Execution Envrionment (EOE) CD 2. Irix Development Foundation (IDF) 1.3 CD 3. MIPSpro C (or C++, F77, F90) Compiler CD Installation under / ==================== This example assumes that the dev and irix_dev images have already been installed. These base images are located on the IRIX Development Libraries CD (IDL) and updated with each version of 6.5.x on the Irix 6.5.x Installation Tools and Overlays CD's. To install the MIPSpro 7.4 compiler products on top of an earlier MIPSpro release under / use the inst command as follows: (NOTE: This will remove the previous versions of the compiler) #1 With the MIPSpro 7.4 Compiler EOE CD in CDROM drive #inst -f /CDROM/dist Inst> keep * (or the shorthand k *) If this is a scratch install do: Inst> install installable (or the shorthand i A) Or if this is an upgrade do: Inst> install Upgrade (or the shorthand i U) Inst> go #2 With the IRIX Development Foundation (IDF) 1.3 CD in the CDROM drive Inst> from /CDROM/dist Inst> keep * (or the shorthand k *) If this is a scratch install do: Inst> install installable (or the shorthand i A) Or if this is an upgrade do: Inst> install Upgrade (or the shorthand i U) Inst> go NOTE: If running C or C++ on IRIX 6.5.18 or later you MUST INSTALL patchSG0004605 from the Irix Development Foundation (IDF) 1.3 CD. That patch is NOT installable on systems prior to 6.5.18. #3 With the MIPSpro 7.4 C CD in the CDROM drive Inst> keep * (or the shorthand k *) If this is a scratch install do: Inst> install installable (or the shorthand i A) Or if this is an upgrade do: Inst> install Upgrade (or the shorthand i U) Inst> go To install other compilers go back to step #3. For more information, see the installation instructions in the Irix Development Foundation Release notes. (#relnotes idf 1) Installation under alernate root ================================ Installation of the images and overlays to an alternate root location under modules essentially follows the same procedure as above, except that inst(1) is given an alternate root location at which the rulesoverride option must be set to install the overlays. For example, if MIPSpro 7.4 is to be installed under /opt/MIPSpro/74, you would use the following procedure: 1. Install the modules system if it is not there. # versions modules I = Installed, R = Removed Name Date Description I modules 11/13/2000 Modules Package 2.2.2.5 .... For your convenience modules are on the IDF 1.3 CD and can be installed under / as follows: == With the Irix Development Foundation (IDF) 1.3 CD in the CDROM drive #inst -f /CDROM/dist Inst> keep * Inst> install modules Inst> go Installation takes place Inst> quit Create the directory in which you want to install the 7.4 compilers and make a symbolic link to it, as in the following example: # mkdir -p /my7.4 # ln -s /my7.4 /opt/MIPSpro/74 == With the MIPSpro 7.4 Compiler Execution Environment (EOE) CD inserted in the CDROM drive %inst -r /opt/MIPSpro/74 -f /CDROM/dist_modules Inst> set rulesoverride true Inst> keep * Inst> install *_eoe dev.sw.lib dev.sw64.lib Inst> go Installation takes place Inst> from /CDROM/dist You will see a message prompting you to be either on the maintenance stream or feature stream. Select the maintenance stream. 1 Inst> keep * Inst> install *_eoe Inst> go Installation takes place == With the Irix Development Foundation (IDF) 1.3 CD in the CDROM drive Inst> from /CDROM/dist Inst> keep * Inst> install *_dev Inst> keep *.books.* If you are running on 6.5.18 or later INSTALL patchSG0004605 If you are running on a system prior to 6.5.18, DO NOT INSTALL this patch. (You can check what system you are running by doing #uname -R) Inst> install patchSG0004605 (if running on IRIX 6.5.18 or LATER) Inst> go Installation takes place == With the MIPSpro 7.4 C CD inserted in the CDROM drive Inst> from /CDROM/dist Inst> keep * Inst> install *_fe Inst> go Installation takes place Inst> quit NOTE you will see this: ERROR: INCOMPATIBLE SUBSYSTEMS INSTALLED The software installed on this system has existing conflicts. Exit allowed because "rulesoverride" option is set. Repeat installation of other compiler CD's by inserting the appropriate CD's and repeating the procedure shown above for MIPSpro 7.4 C. Once modules and the MIPSpro 7.4 compilers have been installed, do the following steps: # cp /opt/modulefiles/MIPSpro /opt/modulefiles/MIPSpro.74 Edit /opt/modulefiles/MIPSpro.74 (#vi /opt/modulefiles/MIPSpro.74) and change the line: set MIPSPRO_LEVEL MIPSpro to set MIPSPRO_LEVEL 74 Each user then has to do the following under his shell session to use MIPSpro 7.4 under modules % source /opt/modules/modules/init/csh (or ksh depending on your shell) % module load modules % module load MIPSpro.74 % cc -version MIPSpro Compilers: Version 7.4 Identification ============== After you have completed the installation, you can verify that you have MIPSpro 7.4 installed, by using the following command: %cc -version foo.c MIPSpro Compilers: Version 7.4 Caveats ======= 1. If running C or C++ on IRIX 6.5.18 or later you MUST INSTALL patchSG0004605 from the Irix Development Foundation (IDF) CD. That patch is NOT to be installed on systems prior to 6.5.18. 2. MIPSpro 7.4 C++ sets -LANG:std=on and -LANG:libc_in_namespace_std=on by default. If you require the old default behavior you will have to set -LANG:std=off:libc_in_namespace_std=off either on the command line, in your compiler_defaults file. You can also set the new SGI_C++ environment variable with that value. 3. Programs built with MIPSpro 7.3 C++ (but not any of the 7.3.1.x maintenance releases) that use STL containers should be recompiled with the new STL header files from c++_dev. Otherwise, they may encounter the following type of failure: unresolvable symbol in _S_free_list__Q2_3std45__default_alloc_template__pt__13_XCbL10XCiL10
