Porting Racket to IRIX

[Eric Dodd]

I'm working on porting Racket to IRIX. With a few minor patches, it compiles cleanly. However, it fails on `make install` with the following error:

racket/racketcgc -L debug -X "/usr/people/edodd/local/share/racket/collects" -G "/usr/people/edodd/local/etc/racket" --no-user-path -N "raco" -l- setup --no-user
getenv: contract violation
expected: string-environment-variable-name?
given: #f
context...:
/usr/people/edodd/local/share/racket/collects/racket/private/misc.rkt:202:2: getenv
/usr/people/edodd/local/share/racket/collects/openssl/mzssl.rkt:374:0: x509-root-sources

IRIX is missing `setenv` and `unsetenv`. I added those in with a patch as seen here: https://gist.github.com/unxmaal/bc996e78e9f422d6e277e0b4a0003cf5

With debug logging on, I see this:

compiler/cm: done: /usr/people/edodd/local/share/racket/collects/openssl/libcrypto.rkt
ffi-lib: loaded "libcrypto.so"
compiler/cm: processing: /usr/people/edodd/local/share/racket/collects/openssl/libssl.rkt

In mzssl.rkt, x509-root-sources(), it seems to handle finding openssl. Mine is located in a non-standard location. How do I pass this location in properly?

Thanks!

From the error, it looks like

(X509_get_default_cert_file_env)

or

(X509_get_default_cert_dir_env)

may be returning #f (or NULL at the C level). Is that the case?

If so, probably the solution is to check those results before passing
them on to `getenv`.

That was (mostly) the problem. I hard-coded the paths in mzssl.rkt, and it proceeded.

Next, it errors with "out of memory":

And you have enough memory, and there's no system-imposed memory limit
--- as reported by `ulimit -a` in bash, for example?

(Maybe a dumb question, but the last IRIX machine I used, decades ago,
would not have had enough memory to build modern Racket.)

I am unsure: this system is an Origin 350 with 8gb RAM and 4x700mhz MIPS. Does Racket expect more?

Thanks!
