03:25.26 amathis brlcad: I just copmiled brlcad.
03:25.35 amathis is there a program executible or something? :P
03:26.21 brlcad amathis: yes, over 400 of them
03:26.42 amathis heh
03:26.43 amathis :P
03:26.54 amathis is brlcad a library?
03:26.55 brlcad amathis: suggest reading the docs on http://brlcad.org .. vol I and II
03:27.05 amathis does the CAD stand for computer aided drawing?
03:27.05 brlcad mged is the modeler
03:27.22 brlcad computer-aided design
03:27.26 amathis ah
03:27.26 brlcad ~cad
03:27.27 ibot i heard cad is a short of Control+Alt+Delte, a keycombo often used in M$ Windoze
03:27.29 amathis that is what I meant.

04:31.27 brlcad ~CAD is also Computer-Aided Design (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAD)
04:31.28 ibot okay, brlcad
04:32.03 EricWilhelm man, it's like a puppy or something
04:33.32 EricWilhelm so, what stands for Computer Aided Draughting? CAG?
04:33.33 brlcad ~cadd is computer-aided design and drafting
04:33.34 ibot okay, brlcad
04:34.22 brlcad wikipedia has a whole section for that ;)

05:44.57 narnia knock, knock anyone home?
05:45.08 brlcad nope
05:45.36 narnia brlcad, hello. anytime frame for step ap203 support?
05:46.45 brlcad it's hard to say right now. The formulations for the mid-term and long-term plans are still being discussed
05:50.17 brlcad at least next fiscal year's plans are on the design table now
05:50.31 brlcad it's definitely a must have item for down the road
05:50.51 brlcad if someone gets really interested in helping to implement it, then it may happen much sooner
05:51.34 brlcad otherwise, we're looking at minimally many months in the least .. ap203 is rather complex
05:53.21 brlcad I'm hoping to have a minimal prototype converter ready by this summer .. but that may be wishful given how much interest there's been and how much needs to be done
05:54.36 brlcad heck, we still don't have proper binaries posted yet and it's been a couple weeks

06:06.57 narnia brlcad, you still here?
06:07.26 narnia brlcad, sorry i am bouncing between computers.
06:26.48 brlcad narnia: yes, I am
06:28.04 brlcad narnia: if you are a developer and are interested in helping out with a step converter (or know someone whom is), please let me know and we can perhaps work together to accelerate the implementation
06:33.49 noyb 7.0.4 already... it was 7.0.0 when it was released to open source?
06:34.12 brlcad niet, it was not
06:34.24 brlcad 7.0.1 was open source revision (CVS revision)
06:34.40 brlcad 7.0.0 was released a couple weeks before
06:34.51 brlcad so the binaries were decrypted and posted
06:34.58 brlcad 7.0.6 is almost ready
06:37.16 noyb ah...
06:38.38 noyb are you getting some new people involved in the project or are all of the changes still internal?
06:41.14 brlcad quite open for getting new people involved
06:41.29 brlcad it's not all internal already, but still primarily
06:43.01 narnia brlcad, may i msg you?
06:44.33 brlcad heh, sure (and no need to ask in the future)
06:45.25 noyb I don't think I'm qualified to participate. I'm not a regular cad user, and I'm not a serious programmer. I'm a perl/shell kinda guy.
06:46.53 brlcad noyb: there's always room for contributions
06:47.02 brlcad it's a very large codebase with lots of room for help
06:47.16 noyb I'm no good with tcl either... :)
06:47.51 brlcad there's shell scripts, php, java, tcl, and C as is
06:48.35 brlcad manpages, documentation, doxygen, docbook, Makefiles, test suites, benchmark suite, et
06:48.43 noyb I tried to build an ambitious perl/tcl database front end, but... I gave up. I now *know* that I hate tcl.
06:49.21 noyb why are there so many languages at play here?
06:53.40 brlcad various needs, people, years, history
06:54.16 brlcad plus many other codes link to brl-cad's libraries.. and they are written in different languages
06:54.30 brlcad C, fortran, java, Tcl come to mind

21:46.22 amathis Can't find a usable tk.tcl in the following directories:
21:46.23 amathis <PROTECTED>
21:46.36 amathis what should I do?
21:49.58 brlcad did you set BRLCAD_ROOT?
21:50.24 amathis yes
21:50.25 brlcad and what version are you trying to instal;?
21:50.41 amathis brlcad: I got a different error when I didn't export BRLCAD_ROOt
21:50.50 amathis and it is 7.0.4
21:50.55 amathis not the linux version on SF
21:50.58 brlcad unset BRLCAD_ROOT
21:51.18 amathis brlcad: can I paste it here?
21:51.25 brlcad sure
21:51.25 amathis it isn't horifically big.
21:51.34 amathis Backgrounding, please wait...
21:51.34 amathis Unable to find the directory that BRL-CAD is installed in while seeking:
21:51.34 amathis <PROTECTED>
21:51.34 amathis This version of LIBBU was compiled to expect BRL-CAD in:

21:51.36 amathis but it is no longer there.
21:51.39 amathis <PROTECTED>
21:51.41 amathis please set your environment variable BRLCAD_ROOT to the correct path,
21:51.44 brlcad ahh, yes
21:51.44 amathis and re-run this program.

21:51.59 brlcad that was recently fixed in CVS ..
21:51.59 amathis <PROTECTED>
21:52.03 brlcad you set the root wrong
21:52.07 amathis I did?
21:52.12 brlcad export BRLCAD_ROOT=/usr/brlcad
21:52.16 amathis oh
21:52.16 amathis o
21:52.25 amathis I don't have a /usr/brlcad
21:52.30 amathis I just did a 'make'
21:52.33 amathis it never needed rot
21:52.34 brlcad ahh
21:52.36 amathis *root
21:52.46 amathis I set it to /home/amathis/brlcad-7.0.4
21:52.47 brlcad so how are you trying to run mged?
21:52.57 amathis amathis@corinth brlcad-7.0.4 $ pwd
21:52.57 amathis /home/amathis/brlcad-7.0.4
21:53.04 amathis amathis@corinth brlcad-7.0.4 $ ./src/mged/mged
21:53.23 amathis should I 'make install' ?
21:53.27 brlcad yeah.. that work work like that
21:53.44 brlcad if you want to run it without installing, try to cd src/mged first, but more will fail
21:53.56 amathis I am just going to install it
21:53.59 brlcad mged uses many external binaries that are in other directories
21:54.40 amathis doing it now.
21:54.54 amathis man, you will enjoy the last episodes of Stargate Atlantis
21:55.13 brlcad which one is that?
21:55.19 brlcad i saw last week's
21:55.20 amathis episode 19 and 20
21:55.26 amathis I mean the LAST of the season.
21:55.34 brlcad ahh
21:55.40 brlcad you're cheating, eh? :)
21:55.53 amathis watched UK's because I am watching SG-1 from season 1 through 8
21:55.54 amathis :)
21:56.25 amathis brlcad looks pretty cool.
21:56.27 amathis was reading through it.
21:56.59 amathis interesting that it is opensource and on SourceForge.
21:57.26 narnia brlcad, pong
21:58.14 amathis brlcad: ok, install done.
21:58.29 brlcad amathis: SG atlantis is on sf.net? :)
21:58.45 brlcad narnia: got your messages, glad to hear you're interested
21:58.57 amathis brlcad: no.. brlcad :P
21:58.58 narnia brlcad, good.
21:59.25 amathis brlcad: ok, I exported brlcad_root as /usr/brlcad
21:59.29 narnia brlcad, do you happen to have the iso specifications for ap203 and ap214?
21:59.32 amathis and now when I try to execute mged it gies this:
22:00.10 amathis brlcad: nevermind
22:00.12 amathis fixed it
22:00.26 brlcad amathis: have to add /usr/brlcad/bin to your path ;)
22:00.53 brlcad narnia: yes and no
22:00.55 amathis brlcad: yeah :)
22:01.01 amathis brlcad: wow.. this looks interesting :)
22:01.08 narnia brlcad, umm definite maybe. ;-)
22:01.36 brlcad narnia: the specifications are enormous and I don't have them in electronic form (or a means to get them in that form easily)
22:02.02 brlcad I do, however, have several ap203 and ap214 files
22:02.15 narnia amathis, i would suggest working through the tutorial to get a good feel of what brlcad is capable of doing.
22:02.46 brlcad amathis: i'd suggest the same too -- volume II on http://brlcad.org
22:03.02 narnia brlcad, ap203 and ap214 files i have. i was hoping someone had the iso documents.
22:03.03 amathis narnia: heh, I was going to do that when I had time.. trying to release a project, homework, a new business, and a work ^_^
22:03.24 brlcad and play bz of course
22:03.50 amathis brlcad: when have yo seen me playing bz lately? :)
22:03.58 amathis I have no aliases.
22:04.09 brlcad heh, when have you seen ME play lately? :)
22:04.20 amathis :P
22:06.25 narnia if i may ask may we have an age check? i will go first. 53yo.
22:06.59 amathis ah
22:07.06 amathis 17, 18 on the 25th
22:08.10 narnia amathis, an advance happy birthday then.
22:08.39 brlcad narnia: I'm one of the core devs for bz is why that came up
22:09.41 narnia brlcad, i have no idea what bz is. i am too old to play video games. being basically one-handed does not help either.
22:09.54 brlcad never too old :)
22:10.15 brlcad one of our other core devs is in his mid 70's and he still plays (rather well)
22:10.42 brlcad i can understand how the hand could be diffidcult, though
22:10.45 narnia brlcad, i would assume he has two working hands.
22:12.27 narnia brlcad, how did you become involved with brl-cad?
22:13.14 narnia opps be back later news in on.
22:13.34 brlcad narnia: I became inolved with the project over 7 years ago when I started working for the team
22:14.08 brlcad worked part-time under Mike for about another year after that, and then joined in full time shortly thereafter
22:14.11 jano seven
22:14.18 jano it's more like.. 10, no?
22:14.27 brlcad hrm
22:14.31 brlcad maybe 8
22:14.35 brlcad not 10
22:14.38 jano okay
22:14.43 jano time frame getting all messed up
22:14.45 jano maybe 7
22:14.58 brlcad '98 iirc
22:14.58 jano we were done with second year.. or third year when you started?
22:15.21 jano where you there year before jason met nettie?
22:15.29 jano or was it all that year?
22:15.43 brlcad all about the same time
22:16.47 jano hmm
22:28.27 narnia back
22:58.19 jano http://nationalfranchisesales.com/busy.pdf
22:58.24 jano doncha just hate when that happens?!
23:08.21 amathis brlcad: could I PM you with a spanish problem?
23:08.33 Nidhoggr hi amathis
23:08.42 amathis hi Nidhoggr !
23:08.53 amathis Nidhoggr: almost got my sit totally done.. then I am tackling yours....
23:09.07 Nidhoggr cool
23:09.09 amathis Nidhoggr: if you can find translators, I will put in code to have multi languages per users
23:09.12 amathis :P
23:09.16 Nidhoggr ah.
23:10.16 amathis Nidhoggr: tu hablas espanol?
23:10.24 Nidhoggr nope
23:10.37 Nidhoggr only enough to get myself slapped.
23:10.48 Nidhoggr although, I can do Mass in spanish. :)
23:10.56 Nidhoggr it's all typed up for me though.
23:11.59 brlcad amathis: claro
23:13.17 amathis ?
23:13.32 amathis clear?
23:13.39 amathis what is clear?
23:13.53 Nidhoggr hi brlcad
23:13.58 brlcad that's not what that means there
23:14.19 amathis brlcad: I am spanish 1 sadly.
23:14.22 amathis brlcad: :)
23:14.24 amathis humor me
23:14.30 amathis translate this
23:14.33 brlcad If you are "clear" that you need to do something.. what do you think might be another word for what that is?
23:15.29 amathis of course
23:15.55 brlcad if you are "of course" that you at.. no try again
23:16.23 brlcad looking for a word to replace clear there
23:17.01 brlcad and this is a spanish 1 question :P
23:17.33 brlcad can't help till you figure out what claro means :)
23:19.55 amathis haha
23:20.25 amathis .. apparent, clear, of course...
23:20.46 brlcad of course would be por supuesto
23:21.00 brlcad apparent is apparentamente
23:21.10 brlcad er, apparently, at least
23:21.19 brlcad close though
23:22.42 amathis brlcad: I am not doing homework ^_^
23:22.52 amathis but
23:22.55 amathis I will try anyway
23:23.30 amathis I asked you a question that would get a yes or no..
23:23.45 amathis so why would claro not mean of course?
23:24.36 brlcad what's another way to say of course in english?
23:24.57 amathis sure.
23:25.11 amathis ok
23:25.18 amathis anytime
