RE: [DotGNU]Has anyone tried to compile Portable.Net on IRIX

[Blair Jennings]

Could I use the ffcall libraries instead of libffi. I really need the PInvoke 
ability
and I do not want to rewrite the 50000 lines of C# (a console program 
originally written for Win2K)
just for a SGI port.

Thanks

Afaik no ...

Libgc is ported to Irix 6.5 , but Libffi is ported only to Irix 5.3 and 6.2 ...

So use ./configure --disable-libffi to build without libffi (but this
loses PInvoke compatibility and Winforms in the process). But do try
the default build before this :)

/me wonders at what pnet could do on an Irix box ....
