Re: [nhc-users] failure to compile on mips-sgi6.5

Malcolm, Got new source and applied the patch.

[64-bit mips] I was looking here to see if there would be a way around that, but nothing looks promising:

Thanks for the pointer. One final thing to try, suggested by that page. Use the SGI C compiler in 32-bit compatibility mode. After "./configure", but before "gmake basic", edit the configuration file at lib/mips-irix6/config changing the line CC=gcc to CC="cc -32"
