As of OOo 3.3, the IRIX port has been considered obsolete and the relevant code has been removed from the code base, see issue 106845.
Welcome To The OpenOffice.org IRIX Porting Site
Porting of OpenOffice.org to IRIX officially begun in September 2001. The initial work involved testing a variety of compilers and tools to determine the best way OpenOffice.org was to be built for IRIX. (For a list of tools, compilers, and libraries used to build OOo on IRIX, refer to the build instructions page.The engineers were working on the project:
- Nick Blievers, who was an employee of Adacel Technologies, working directly with SGI. Nick has now moved to another job.
Others who have been involved in the port are:
- George Zahopoulos for much work on 1.0, and ensuring that 1.0 got released and packaged
- Victor Riley, the SGI contact supervising the port,
- Jeff Hanson,
and a special thanks to
- Ralph Thomas for his on-going efforts in porting bridges, and
- John Mark Vandenberg for all his work on the port.
