Subject: MOO on SGI

I tried to compile the MOO core on an SGI.
GCC is available, but the 'configure' says:
*** Sorry, but I can't figure out how to find an ANSI C compiler here.
*** Compiling this program requires such a compiler.

What should I do?
Is there somewhere a compiled core for SGI that I could port, if
everything else fails?
Can it be compiled with Think C for the Mac? (sounds funny, ah?)

Gustavo.

Build gcc. It's freely available from the GNU people.

I have a friend that might remember how, but she was forced to delete
it some time ago due to space restrictions.

It would be rather difficult, nee impossible, to do so.

Think 'C' become %100 ANSI compliant with version 5.0, and compiles MOO.
I've been playing with it, and the only thing I have found troublesome is
the regexp code, which seems to not work. I haven't had time to tweak it,
which is why there is no Mac port at parc.xerox.com. Let me know if you have
any luck with it...

Did you say you wanted to port LambdaMOO to a MAC?

WOW, that would be excellent, if we could fit enough RAM in it!

I dunno about "excellent".  I have 20 meg of RAM in my Mac now,
about to go to 32 and going to run A/UX.  I'm gonna attempt
to compile MOO on it then. 

I'd be curious to know though, what the performance is for such
a beastie.  Pretty slow?  The MOO I wanna run on it is fairly small...
Anyone have any experience with it?

Dunno about performance, but if you've got a Mac with System 7, '030
or better, and some disk you don't have to worry too much about RAM
(virtual memory).
