SGI Indigo R4k in works
=======================

I (finally!) managed  to set up and update my  uFEM [1] software. There
are some non-trivial  dependencies: the Gtk+ 1.2, the  GtkGLArea and so
on. These things are not so easy to  set up on the IRIX 5.x but finally
it works.

Then I have had to compile the software. The Makefiles require GNU Make
(because of some scripting which they use). This is rather trivial as a
very old GNU Make is enough and such thing is of course available. Then
I had to change the Makefiles  to remove some GCC-specific line options
(-Wall  and  so on).  The  last  problem  was non-availability  of  the
snprintf function (change of 2 lines of source code). Then the coda was
able to compile and to run with all bells and whistles. Except that the
plotting of results was incorrect.

I ported a old version of the code (some 30 minor version old). So then
I had to  repeat the procedure with  a fresh on. Well,  I only re-wrote
the C  and H  files and fixed  the snprintf issues  and it  was enough.
After less than  30 minutes of compiling I have  my main tool available
here!

Actually, it is not that ideal: the  Gtk 1.x port has only a very basic
GUI (the Gtk+  2.x-based GUI is much  more complex and easier  to use -
there are  visual selections, many  shortcuts and such  stuff). Anyway,
the most important stuff is available here and it works.

Using OpenGL with 8-bit graphics mode is an another story...
