            FASTLINK Portability Information for IRIX

IRIX is an implementation of UNIX for SGI workstations. The following
portability information was reported by David Featherstone.

Versions 2.1 and beyond of FASTLINK ports fine to IRIX, but some two
minor changes to the Makefile may be necessary for compilation.

Change 1. Use the cc compiler, instead of gcc.

Change 2. You may need to pass the -cckr flag to the compiler depending on
your system.  You may do this by editing the line in the Makefile that
reads:

  #SYSDEP =

and changing it to:

  SYSDEP = -cckr

It may be the case that gcc works on IRIX too, but David has not verified
this. The changes beyond version 2.1 should not create any new problems.

Versions of the LINKAGE auxiliary programs for IRIX are available
from John Powell (jip@helix.nih.gov) or Jim Tomlin (jtomlin@helix.nih.gov)
at NIH.

To run parallel FASTLINK, refer to the README.p4 for IRIX-specific notes.
