[pspell] Building on IRIX

[Daniel Richard G.]

I tried building pspell on IRIX, but ran smack into a wall of C++ quirks. I
thought I'd post the results here, should they be of any help.

Attached is a patch containing a few changes I made initially, to smooth
out a few bumps that CC choked on. Mainly changing things like "#include
<cstring>" to "#include <string.h>", since IRIX's C++ headers don't seem to
include the c* family. (I'm no C++ expert by any means; this should give
the same result, no?)

However, compiling one particular file gives a barrage of errors I was
unable to resolve:

--------(snip)--------


The "undefined identifier" errors have me particularly baffled, as I added
"include <iostream>" to the top of config_impl.cc, and
/usr/include/CC/iostream includes the lines: 

        extern istream cin;
        extern ostream cout;
        extern ostream cerr;
        extern ostream clog;

that do not generate any errors.


Anyway, I hope this helps, and if further testin/reporting would be useful
please feel free to contact me. (note, I'm not subscribed to this list...)
