| 02:14.42 | siggraph | Derevko: if you're working on an updated .deb for Debian, I have several suggestions/comments relavent to your build |
| 02:22.28 | siggraph | Derevko: namely 1) for a package-management system, you want --disable-all instead of all the --disable-*-build options you're using; 2) there is no reason for you to use --enable-warnings or --enable-progress (those are dev-team options); 3) you don't need or want java as a dependency, let it autodetect or force it off using --without-java (unnecessary but explicit); 4) there is a BIG ALERT warning about installing with --prefix=/usr .. there |
| 02:22.35 | siggraph | lemme know if that cut off :) |
| 02:27.25 | siggraph | 6) use --without-opengl for now as well (buggy nvidia drivers will crash X hard on some configurations); 7) .. the crash log is interesting, looking into it |
| 02:35.40 | CIA-23 | BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r32372 10/brlcad/trunk/src/adrt/librender/Makefile.am: contrary to libtool tweakage, debian is apparently bitching about LIBADD symbol dependencies in adrt's librender. |
| 02:36.17 | siggraph | Derevko: 8) that last commit should kick start the build for you, or you can manually remove the 'adrt \' line from src/Makefile.am |
| 02:53.52 | *** join/#brlcad homovulgaris (n=d@117.196.131.215) |
| 02:55.32 | homovulgaris | brlcad: can you have a look at r32371. I changed made libpc a dependency of librt. I am not very sure about my configure.ac modifications.. especially where i added LIBSTDCXX |
| 03:22.04 | siggraph | homovulgaris: I did |
| 03:23.29 | homovulgaris | ok |
| 03:24.03 | siggraph | homovulgaris: they looked alright -- whether LIBSTDCXX needs to go there or with $PC instead depends on a few other things |
| 03:24.20 | siggraph | which won't really know without building across a few other platforms |
| 03:24.54 | siggraph | the header removal of raytrace.h was right, rt uses pc -- not the other way around |
| 03:24.58 | siggraph | so that was good |
| 03:25.06 | homovulgaris | ok. |
| 03:25.22 | homovulgaris | also right now constraint.c in librt depends on wdb .. |
| 03:25.45 | homovulgaris | should i remove that dependency ? I mean should i be using wdb from rt ? |
| 03:26.48 | siggraph | in general .. "no" -- libwdb sits on top of librt |
| 03:26.56 | homovulgaris | sorry, it is just a blank header include i guess, not using any wdb stuff |
| 03:27.15 | siggraph | but it's not fully consistent at the moment either, so it's understandable |
| 03:27.44 | homovulgaris | so basically, i can shift my mk_constraint code with modifications into libwdb |
| 03:28.01 | siggraph | you had an mk_constraint in libwdb already didn't you? |
| 03:28.04 | siggraph | that you removed |
| 03:28.14 | homovulgaris | well it was in libpc |
| 03:28.20 | siggraph | oh |
| 03:28.24 | siggraph | blinks |
| 03:28.24 | homovulgaris | i should have shifted it to WDB long back |
| 03:28.34 | siggraph | yeah |
| 03:29.27 | siggraph | it either belongs in librt as an rt_constraint or some similar librt "creator" |
| 03:29.58 | siggraph | but primarily in libwdb as mk_constraint (which could call this hypothetical rt_constraint or not) |
| 03:30.34 | homovulgaris | sean, now tests will depend on both pc,wdb and rt when i do actual constraint writing geometry updation etc, so the pc_test files should be shifted somewhere so that it gets built after librt and libwdb is built |
| 03:30.54 | siggraph | misspoke, s/rt_constraint/wdb_export/ .. which would call the librt export routine for a constraint object |
| 03:31.22 | siggraph | okay, sounds reasonable |
| 03:31.36 | homovulgaris | yeah, the export functionality is in rt/constraint.c |
| 03:33.58 | siggraph | so libwdb should probably just call that, but still provide the mk_ interface |
| 03:34.34 | siggraph | mk_ is the easy 'public interface' for creation, default constructor of sorts |
| 03:35.07 | homovulgaris | yeah, sort of hardcoded parametrics ;) |
| 03:35.32 | homovulgaris | ok, i will get back to finishing up the read-solve-update-write cycle |
| 03:35.39 | siggraph | how's that goin? :) |
| 03:35.48 | siggraph | oh question |
| 03:36.32 | homovulgaris | well parameter passing is done, I need to work with constraint passing now. |
| 03:37.17 | homovulgaris | The problem with passing just a function pointer is that I have to pass the signature type information in some way as well |
| 03:37.55 | siggraph | noticed in pc_main that it nicely sorts out the data types, but then pcVCSet uses different structures on the type |
| 03:38.10 | siggraph | e.g. PC_DB_VECTOR_T being a vect_t and a Vector class |
| 03:38.26 | homovulgaris | like istangent() expects two arrays/2 vectps , ispositive() expects 1 array/vectp and so on |
| 03:38.39 | siggraph | right |
| 03:39.05 | siggraph | could do something like what opengl does with the format encoded in the name |
| 03:39.54 | siggraph | e.g. isPositive3f() |
| 03:40.12 | siggraph | not really elegant, but a thought |
| 03:40.23 | homovulgaris | hmm.. I was thinking of something like that in MathVM, add##2 for add expecting two inputs... but that was just for double check. |
| 03:40.30 | homovulgaris | hmm.. |
| 03:40.40 | siggraph | or could make the signature simply be a vararg ..., and let the function typecheck itself (yikes) |
| 03:41.02 | homovulgaris | i only like varargs when all the types are the same :D |
| 03:41.34 | siggraph | you mean like printf? :) |
| 03:41.42 | homovulgaris | hmm.. i think i could do something similar to what i am doing for passing parameter by structure.. pass a void * and a type variable |
| 03:41.43 | siggraph | if the types are the same, there's not much point to using varargs :) |
| 03:41.55 | siggraph | could just use an array :) |
| 03:42.07 | homovulgaris | :P yeah. |
| 03:42.10 | homovulgaris | exactly :D |
| 03:42.54 | siggraph | yeah, data-driven is pretty straightforward |
| 03:43.21 | siggraph | though there are some problems with that with strict c99 |
| 03:43.53 | siggraph | I forget the rules off the top of my head at the moment, but there's some issue there iirc |
| 03:44.02 | homovulgaris | oh |
| 03:44.27 | siggraph | something to do with void*'s and casting to function pointers not being allowed |
| 03:44.37 | siggraph | I'd have to dig, it's come up before |
| 03:45.21 | homovulgaris | ok.. i'll check too |
| 03:45.47 | siggraph | might be C++ or c99, might be confusing my languages, but it'd still be relevant |
| 03:46.25 | siggraph | so think you're going to make implicit constraint checking by next week? :) |
| 03:47.32 | homovulgaris | confident :) |
| 03:47.47 | homovulgaris | { hopefully :) } |
| 03:48.16 | siggraph | heh, { great :) } |
| 03:48.50 | homovulgaris | because once this constraint passing is done, the actual implementation of constraints , most cases being simple, is really not time-consuming |
| 03:48.57 | pacman87 | are you two proposing an extension to lolcode, where semicolons are replaced by ':)'? |

| 03:52.31 | homovulgaris | sean, on a scale of 1 to 10 how much trouble would one face when trying to make a .deb package for brlcad ? |
| 03:55.01 | siggraph | likes "madant" more too .. fewer vulgar connotations ;) |
| 03:55.23 | siggraph | homovulgaris: "it depends" .. on a lot of things |
| 03:56.06 | siggraph | their familiarity with making deb's being the biggest, followed by autotool build familiarity, followed by knowledge of what our options mean |
| 03:58.23 | siggraph | otherwise, if you know all three of those then it's like a 2 .. if you don't then it's like an 8 |

| 17:30.10 | siggraph | but the one(s) preceeding too |
| 17:31.51 | ``Erik | he says it's all fixed now |
| 17:31.56 | siggraph | also should set the svn:eol-style |
| 17:32.16 | siggraph | on the text files |
| 17:32.26 | ``Erik | he says he did, it won't let him commit if he doesn't set that |
| 17:32.58 | siggraph | if only halts on mime-types, and then "suggests" eol-style |
| 17:33.01 | siggraph | http://brlcad.org/wiki/Mime-types |
| 17:33.09 | siggraph | he might want the sample config file |
| 17:35.52 | ``Erik | ok, got him on that page |
| 17:38.12 | siggraph | danka sir |
| 17:38.27 | siggraph | how's the land of mary doing? |
| 17:39.08 | ``Erik | still seems to be here *shrug* looking like I might need to bring my lunch this week, or go hungry and eat bigger dinners :D |
| 17:39.47 | ``Erik | oh, btw, I'm pillaging desks of people who're at siggraph |
| 17:39.49 | ``Erik | mwahahaha |
| 17:39.52 | siggraph | :) |
| 17:39.59 | ``Erik | RAPE THE VILLAGE AND PLUNDER THE WOMEN! |
| 17:40.22 | siggraph | leave my stash of porn and booze alone! |
| 17:40.26 | ``Erik | (nah, I left my kbd at home, so I'm borrowing starseekers for today) |
| 17:40.45 | ``Erik | um, what booze? *burp* and I think nick beat me to the pr0n |
| 17:41.21 | siggraph | speaking of nick, he may need some svn skooling |
| 17:41.37 | siggraph | supposed to be committing his stuff soon, pointed him in your general direction |
| 17:41.45 | ``Erik | yuh oh |
| 17:42.14 | siggraph | and he's never used svn or any other vcs before |
| 17:42.32 | siggraph | sent him instructions via e-mail, but he might need some poking |
| 17:43.02 | ``Erik | aight, if he wanders my way, I'll show him out to irreperable thrash the repo |
| 17:43.11 | siggraph | heh |
| 17:45.13 | siggraph | wonders what "stract" means .. dave picked an odd name there.. |
| 17:45.25 | mafm | kcorbitt: "but is anyone out there planning on actively continuing dev work after summer ends?" -- ,e |
| 17:45.27 | mafm | me* |
| 17:45.45 | siggraph | ab-stract, dis-stract, .. ex-stract |
| 17:45.46 | ``Erik | w00t |
| 17:46.01 | siggraph | ~mafm++ |
| 17:46.04 | mafm | there's some other people interested and who started commiting some changes |
| 17:46.17 | mafm | kcorbitt: maybe you want to work in that too? :D |
| 17:46.34 | siggraph | yeah, that mess needs to all come together at some point :) |
| 17:46.34 | ``Erik | abstract |
| 17:46.59 | mafm | (sorry for the delay, but it seems that notifications don't work properly with this IRC client, or this channel) |
| 17:47.19 | kcorbitt | cool, that's good to hear |
| 17:47.23 | siggraph | channel doesn't have anything to do with highlights :) |
| 17:47.45 | CIA-23 | BRL-CAD: 03davidloman * r32392 10/rt^3/trunk/src/geometryService/cpp/ (149 files in 7 dirs): svn:mime-type & svn:eol-style fixes |
| 17:47.45 | siggraph | unless you told your client to do something per channel of course |
| 17:47.48 | kcorbitt | found out about brl-cad some months ago and have been wanting to teach myself it |
| 17:48.20 | kcorbitt | but haven't found the time to really spend a day going over the mged tutorials |
| 17:48.46 | kcorbitt | that's why I found mafm's project and got very excited! |
| 17:49.03 | mafm | :D |
| 17:49.09 | mafm | what's your platform kcorbitt? |
| 17:49.34 | kcorbitt | I use vista or ubuntu at home and CentOS at work |
| 17:50.06 | mafm | siggraph: I think that it doesn't highlight or show smalls windows when I leave this channel as the active one, and it happens often since it's the more active amongst the ones I join :) |
| 17:50.24 | mafm | kcorbitt: 32/64 bits? |
| 17:50.32 | kcorbitt | actually main reason I use vista still is because there's no decent CAD package for linux |
| 17:50.36 | kcorbitt | 32 |
| 17:50.51 | kcorbitt | but hoping brl-cad will change that |
| 17:50.57 | ``Erik | erm, pro/E and unisys were available for linux last I heard |
| 17:51.21 | mafm | meh, I just prepared a package for amd64 and wanted to find some vict^H^H^H^Hbrave volunteers to test it |
| 17:51.22 | kcorbitt | oh, I hadn't heard |
| 17:51.25 | ``Erik | I'm under the impression that they're considered "decent", just expensive |
| 17:51.35 | kcorbitt | yeah they're good |
| 17:51.35 | siggraph | kcorbitt: even with an easier to use interface, there's no production CAD system that doesn't require some level of training to be useful :) |
| 17:51.40 | jonored | That doesn't mean that an organization keeps the license, though... so might be expensive for a person to get the linux version. |
| 17:51.48 | kcorbitt | yeah |
| 17:51.56 | kcorbitt | I'm no professional engineer, just a student/hobbyist |
| 17:52.22 | kcorbitt | managed to get an edu license of Autodesk Inventor which I've used a lot |
| 17:52.43 | kcorbitt | but this project is very intriguing |
| 17:53.10 | jonored | Happily, my school does... worth checking. Won't do anything on my machine, but it's there. |
| 17:54.33 | kcorbitt | I write C code for my day job though |
| 17:54.47 | siggraph | woot |
| 17:54.51 | ``Erik | neat |
| 17:54.59 | siggraph | kcorbitt: we need devs more than we need users at this point ;) |
| 17:55.04 | ``Erik | I attend meetings, read email, and attend more meetings for my day job |
| 17:55.08 | siggraph | though users are always welcom ;) |
| 17:55.26 | kcorbitt | and I want to look into doing some dev work if it won't suck away my life |
| 17:55.37 | kcorbitt | like some other open source projects I've involved myself in in the past ;) |
| 17:56.00 | kcorbitt | admittedly, that is my own fault |
| 17:56.10 | kcorbitt | this sort of thing is so darn cool! |
| 17:57.15 | siggraph | indeed! |
| 17:57.24 | siggraph | lots of stuffs to be done |
| 17:57.27 | mafm | abstracting away from society? sure, it is :) |
| 17:58.07 | siggraph | sociewho?what? :) |
| 17:58.14 | kcorbitt | lol |
| 17:58.37 | kcorbitt | out of curiousity, any kind of estimate for the current userbase of brl-cad? |
| 17:59.49 | kcorbitt | (if any?) |
| 17:59.58 | siggraph | not anything reliable |
| 18:00.12 | siggraph | we used to have 2k registered site licenses before we were open source |
| 18:00.42 | siggraph | but now we're seeing about 10k downloads per month, so it's really hard to say |
| 18:01.05 | kcorbitt | good stuff |
| 18:01.13 | siggraph | i'm sure a lot of folks checking things out and learning/using brl-cad that never interact, other users that try it once and never again, etc |
| 18:01.20 | ``Erik | even if you sum all that up, some people just download it, look, and throw it away... others redistribute it |
| 18:01.21 | kcorbitt | sure |
| 18:01.49 | siggraph | can say that our rate has been increasing year over year, so if anything .. more people are noticing |
| 18:02.01 | kcorbitt | (I was one of the download-once-and-never-actually-use-it crowd for the month of July ;)) |
| 18:02.38 | kcorbitt | is there a centralized list of feature requests/bugs? |
| 18:02.48 | mafm | siggraph: I PM'ed you, I don't know if it's a convenient time for you :) |
| 18:04.01 | mafm | kcorbitt: http://sourceforge.net/projects/brlcad/?abmode=1#item3rd-3 |
| 18:04.28 | mafm | (I just noticed new SF interface, not very convenient for direct links it seems :) |
| 18:04.41 | mafm | tab "Public" |
| 18:05.43 | kcorbitt | thanks |
| 18:06.38 | kcorbitt | for history, why was it decided to go open source? |
| 18:06.46 | kcorbitt | if anyone is still around from when that happened |
| 18:09.54 | *** join/#brlcad docelic_ (n=docelic@78.134.204.86) |
| 18:11.24 | siggraph | kcorbitt: for brl-cad, it was more why *not* go open source? |
| 18:11.57 | siggraph | brl-cad has always been developed in a relatively open manner, as open as the team could get away with at the time |
| 18:12.56 | siggraph | there are many benefits and potential benefits that were obtained when we were allowed to go open source |
| 18:13.32 | siggraph | note "allowed" != "decided" .. wanted to a long time ago, but it took over a half-decade to get it approved |
| 18:13.44 | kcorbitt | I see |
| 18:14.17 | kcorbitt | sounds like you've been a developer for quite some time |
| 18:14.41 | kcorbitt | does the project have paid/full time devs, or is it solely volunteer? |
| 18:15.13 | siggraph | it just makes sense .. the gov isn't into the business of making money on brl-cad (and they shouldn't be imho) .. and it's not in the public's interest for such an extensive code to NOT be in the public's hands |
| 18:15.18 | kcorbitt | from reading the history page it sounds like it was first designed by the military, so I assume there were paid developers at some point at least |
| 18:15.38 | siggraph | both, some paid/full some not, some via ARL, some other orgs |
| 18:16.27 | kcorbitt | neat |
| 18:16.57 | siggraph | ARL still funds, develops, and monitors/reviews brl-cad development, though the project is a 'complete' open source project with its own community around it where those that participate are the ones that direct development |
| 18:17.09 | kcorbitt | that's reassuring - projects with even a few full-time developers seem to be much healthier in general than volunteer only ones |
| 18:17.18 | mafm | siggraph: so about the private message? |
| 18:17.23 | siggraph | i.e. a development meritocracy with just some basic peer review to make sure we have a consistent vision |
| 18:17.38 | siggraph | mafm: sorry, on a roll :) |
| 18:18.01 | kcorbitt | heh, sorry for taking your time |
| 18:18.12 | kcorbitt | just trying to get a better handle on the structure |
| 18:19.14 | siggraph | some of that is covered in the HACKING file in our distribution |
| 18:19.23 | siggraph | some in the README |
| 18:26.53 | CIA-23 | BRL-CAD: 03bob1961 * r32393 10/brlcad/trunk/src/mged/ (buttons.c dodraw.c muves.c qray.c rtif.c setup.c): Getting rid of a few warning. |
| 18:27.39 | mafm | so I'll repeat myself now that the channel is a bit more active... |
| 18:28.10 | mafm | <mafm> anybody with linux amd64 around? |
| 18:28.15 | mafm | <mafm> I'd like somebody to test my package |
| 18:30.25 | siggraph | mm.. have an amd64 back at the office somewhere, but I'm of course nowhere near that right now :) |
| 18:39.16 | mafm | I think that I should compile for i386, it's more popular :D |
| 18:40.57 | siggraph | is there a reason you need amd64? |
| 18:42.23 | siggraph | if it's for the gsoc 'goal' of making a dev/test binary -- anything should suffice really |
| 18:44.15 | mafm | yes, it is -- both computers are with amd64 |
| 18:44.30 | mafm | and I would like somebody to test :D |
| 18:44.44 | mafm | if it's not to be tested, what's the point of making it? :) |
| 18:50.05 | CIA-23 | BRL-CAD: 03bob1961 * r32394 10/brlcad/trunk/ (6 files in 4 dirs): Added the following commands to libged and libtclcad: idents, regions, solids, loadview, saveview and solids_on_ray. |
| 18:51.41 | siggraph | ah, you mean both of yours are amd64 |
| 18:51.52 | siggraph | yeah, just compile for i386 to hit a wider audience |
| 18:52.15 | siggraph | the point is exposure/availability, otherwise you're right -- it'd be a waste of time |
| 18:54.08 | mafm | yep |
| 18:54.33 | mafm | my next laptop would be i386 I guess, I didn't like being an early adopter :D |
| 18:55.15 | mafm | (not that early, it had been commercialized for years, but there are still some things missing at this point) |
| 18:55.43 | mafm | but I think that it would be a Dell and would only arrive by the end of august, at the very least |
| 18:56.23 | siggraph | you can compile for i386 on amd64 no? |
| 18:56.50 | mafm | I think so, but I never did for big projects |
| 18:57.06 | mafm | and Debian has only native distros, not mixed ones like fedora |
| 18:57.39 | mafm | g3d and the libraries are not much of a problem, but I think that OGRE is |
| 18:58.05 | siggraph | you'll probably just have one file, one staticly compiled binary file -- probably easiest to make and get into hands for testing |
| 18:58.30 | siggraph | looks for food |
| 19:03.29 | mafm | hmm, I'm doing it with dynamic libs |
| 19:10.19 | mafm | ok, I leave this cross-compiling ... going home now |
| 19:10.37 | mafm | kcorbitt: hopefully tomorrow I'll have a binary package for you :) |
| 19:12.10 | kcorbitt | nice! |
