I'd be surprised. I'm running fairly recent software on my Octane, but it is time for a round of updates (Apache/2.2.27 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.27 OpenSSL/1.0.1g PHP/5.4.27)
Which I already eliminated that possibility saying I was building it at home. I'd also like to believe that there are very few security critical things still using IRIX, even though I know better (at least SGI was still releasing security patches until this year....).
No dice. I've posted it over on Nekochan to see if people who are more familiar with compiling things in IRIX can come up with anything. In the mean time, I'll go back to trying to get Qt5 to compile...
Got it to get along a bit further with some editing of the configure file.
Changing CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -Wall -Werror -std=c99 -g -Wno-pointer-sign" to #CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -Wall -Werror -std=c99 -g " brings us to a different stopping point.

My home situation makes moving impossible right now, for reasons not public.

Also, the nearest areas to where I live are Towson and Baltimore, which I am strongly opposed to working at either area. I'd rather drive versus sit still in traffic. So my choices are limited for the time being. (Also, sys admins don't get to telecommute often at this company, and my last employer was strongly against it)
As someone who spends a large portion of their monthly budget on gas, I am very apposed to this. I also am opposed to the diverting of the transportation fund for other things that has been quite common place (or at least in my state).
I decline (as does the company I work for, and several others I deal with) to support Windows XP at this point, with the exception of moving users off of it (well, my employer doesn't deal with XP at all, if you call support the response for XP is we don't support that, use a supported system, Friend's employer just deals with it for migrations, and I still do that on the side sometimes).
AIX and HP-UX still receive patches from IBM and HP, respectively. SGI only stopped releasing patches from IRIX in January this year (2014), for an OS that was initially released in 1998 (IRIX 6.5).
Is Steam stopping me from playing the games I purchased? No? Then I don't really care. Steam doesn't get in my way, and is quite convenient for installing a game on multiple computers (plus I don't have to keep track of disks). Find something worth complaining about.

Slowly moving along on that one. Working on all the prereqs for XCB right now. I also have a hatred of autotools right now.

Guess I'll have to see if this builds on IRIX when I get home...just to see.
Because I much prefer Qt to GTK?
What, no Kings Quest? I remember playing them in DOS (up to KQ VI)
Also, The Elder Scrolls: Arena and The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall....lost lots of time there.
If the games used SVGA lib, he's out of luck on a modern Linux setup. That broke with the introduction of KMS to my understanding.
Vodka, comrade
Actually the MD state government got busted for using the transportation fund for a lot of non-transportation related things not that long ago....

The states seem to do it just fine, so what makes you think the feds won't pull it off.
Not that I am one bit in favor of this, gas costs me enough as it is. Working a long distance from home uses as lot of fuel.
As someone who spends a large portion of their monthly budget on gas, I am very apposed to this. I also am opposed to the diverting of the transportation fund for other things that has been quite common place (or at least in my state).
And I think SGI might have prior art (I'd have to read Apple's patent to be sure).
I decline (as does the company I work for, and several others I deal with) to support Windows XP at this point, with the exception of moving users off of it (well, my employer doesn't deal with XP at all, if you call support the response for XP is we don't support that, use a supported system, Friend's employer just deals with it for migrations, and I still do that on the side sometimes).
I'd rather have hardware that works well. Closed source drivers don't bother me.
Captain Crunch? Captain Morgan?

Define 'superior.' They can't do my job. I'd prefer not to do their job.
I'd hardly consider XFS modern. SGI introduced it on IRIX 5 back in the mid 90's.
Being a laptop leaves it vulnerable to dieing batteries in my experience.
Use ext4 for a laptop over the default, XFS. XFS is prone to data corruption when improperly shut down.
