Subject: GTL on IRIX and True64/Digitial Unix


There have been some complaints that linking the GTL archive under SGI's
IRIX and Compaq's True64 Unix (earlier it was called "Digital Unix") does
not work. Here is description how to do it (I tested it only for static
linking, but I think it should work for dynamic linking too).

SGI (MIPSpro C++ compiler V7.30):

Compile the GTL sources with "CC -LANG:std -ptused" then build the archive
(ar cru libGTL.a *.o).

Compaq/DEC (Compaq C++ compiler V6.2-024):

Compile the GTL sources with "cxx". The compiler produces the object files
plus a directory called "cxx_repository" with template instantiation
object files. Put the GTL object files and the instantiation object files
into libGTL.a.

Best regards,
Andreas
