I've been working off and on for several months to get pkgsrc working with IRIX 6.5.30.
My reasoning for using pkgsrc is that it provides dependency resolution, and since it used to work with IRIX, it might could work with IRIX again in short order.
My current notes are always posted here: https://github.com/sgidevnet/sgidevnet.github.io/blob/master/wiki/unxmaal_pkgsrc_build_notes.md
Progress has stalled due to a nefarious bug that manifests during bmake install . Several packages compile without needing modification, but the bmake install process improperly copies pkgsrc's temporary wrapper scripts into the "destdir" directory for packaging instead of the compiled binaries.
As you can see from my notes, I did quite a bit of debugging for libtool, but ultimately was unable to determine why it was failing.
I can manually work around this defect by manually copying the compiled binaries and libraries from .lib into the .buildlink/ directory. However, this is not sustainable, and doesn't work at all with more complicated packages like Perl.
Any assistance (or even corroboration) would be much appreciated.
