-IRIX Instructions
-=================
-
-0. Note: building this package on IRIX is mainly useful for the
-   XFS developers who want to run purify on some of the tools.
-   Most tools are not functional due to incomplete support for
-   the syssgi and fcntl interfaces that XFS provides and which
-   these tools make extensive use of.
-
-1. Configure, build and install the package
-
-   The xfsprogs package uses autoconf/configure and expects a GNU build
-   environment which can be obtained by installing a number of freeware
-   packages (gcc, autoconf, libtool, gmake).
-
-   Even though IRIX provides a set of UUID functions via libc, you
-   still need to have built and installed the UUID library which is
-   provided by the e2fsprogs source package.  This is because some
-   difficult to resolve differences exist between the UUID functions
-   and data types, which makes co-existence of these more trouble
-   than its worth at the moment.  Follow the instructions above for
-   building and installing libuuid.
