MIPSpro (SGI's compilers) are the only things on
the install CDs that
use
keys IIRC. One should be just fine installing gcc and friends from
pkgsrc.
MIPSpro is not included in the default software library from SGI. What
is included is the "IRIX Development Libraries" and "IRIX Development
Foundations" which provide the headers, static libraries, and a few
development tools (but not compilers). For IRIX 5.3, the full IDO (with
C compiler) is downloadable from ftp.sgi.com, for IRIX 6.2 the IDF/IDL
parts are on ftp.sgi.com (IRIX 6.2 did not ship with the development
tools and headers as standard). Many versions of MIPSpro function as
"nagware" and will still compile while you're waiting for your license
from SGI, or developer program members get access to an
account on a
Origin running the latest MIPSpro compilers. No official hobbyist
program, there just isn't any return in it for SGI (the MIPS-based
IRISes were discontinued in December).
