Emacs 21.3 is reported to work on IRIX 6.5.x.
You can build a 64-bit executable (with larger maximum buffer size)
on Irix 6.5 by specifying the 64-bit ABI using the `-64' compiler
flag or otherwise (see cc(1)). This may work on earlier Irix 6
systems if you edit src/s/irix6-0.h following irix6-5.h.
Building Emacs 21.1 and 21.2 on versions of Irix before 6.5.10,
especially when Emacs is built with GCC, was reported to have subtle
problems such as being unable to print to stdout under the -batch
command-line option. Building with the native compiler or upgrading
the OS to a newer version solves these problems. There's evidence
that these problems are actually related to the runtime libraries
(before IRIX 6.5.10, the IRIX runtimes were based on the MIPSpro 7.2
compilers), so installing patches for the runtime from
http://www.sgi.com/support/patch_intro.html could solve the problem
even without upgrading the OS. The dump process is the crucial
step that needs the upgraded runtime, so a workaround is to dump
Emacs on a machine with a newer OS, then copy the binary to the
older OS.
If compiling with GCC on Irix 6 yields an error "conflicting types
for `initstate'", install GCC 2.95 or a newer version, and this
problem should go away. It is possible that this problem results

could also try reinstalling the same version of GCC, and telling us
whether that fixes the problem.
The 19.26 pretest was reported to work on IRIX 4.0.5 and 5.2.
19.23 was reported to work on IRIX 5.2, but you may need to install
the "compiler_dev.hdr.internal" subsystem in order to compile unexelfsgi.c.
19.22 was known to work on all Silicon Graphics machines running
IRIX 4.0.5 or IRIX 5.1.
Compiling with -O using IRIX compilers prior to 3.10.1 may not work.
Don't use -O or use GCC instead.
Most IRIX 3.3 systems do not have an ANSI C compiler, but a few do.
Compile Emacs 18 with the -cckr switch on these machines.
There is a bug in IRIX 3.3 that can sometimes leave ptys owned by root
with a permission of 622. This causes malfunctions in use of
subprocesses of Emacs. Irix versions 4.0 and later with GNU Emacs
versions 18.59 and later fix this bug.
