Yep.  Currently running AfterStep 1.6.6.  IRIX 6.5.  egcs-2.91.60

   > gcc --version
   egcs-2.91.60

Not at all.  I don't remember having to do anything exotic except
overriding where the X libs location.  Seems afterstep wanted to explicitly
point to /usr/lib, which is a no-no on IRIX (you let the compiler pick up
o32,n32, or n64 libs).  I just configured and built it.  Here's my
configure invocation:


     configure --with-gnustep-dir=~/.GNUstep \
               --x-libraries=/usr/lib32 \
               --prefix=$HOME/software/AfterStep-1.6.6 \
               --with-xpm-include=/usr/include/X11 \
               --with-xpm-library=/usr/lib \
               --with-jpeg \
               --with-jpeg-includes=/usr/local/include \
               --with-jpeg-library=/usr/local/lib \
               --with-png \
               --with-png-includes=/usr/local/include \
               --with-png-library=/usr/local/lib

Not too sure if I had this in there or not:

               --x-includes=/usr/include \


I really didn't need png and jpeg.  Just put them in there for the heck of it.

Comparing my clean-built and a completely unconfigured Afterstep source
tree, looks like files were only added by configure, so I didn't do any
hacking on the delivered source code.

All I did do I berieve is update MAXLINELENGTH after configure so that I
could have my long Pixmap search paths for Wharf:

     ./configure.h:
     13c13
     < #define MAXLINELENGTH 255
     ---
     > #define MAXLINELENGTH 8192

Let me know if this doesn't work for you.

Randall
