02:08.49 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03johnranderson * 10brlcad/src/conv/iges/trimsurf.c: Convtrimsurfs() was calling nmg_km() when it shouldn't
02:11.52 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03johnranderson * 10brlcad/src/librt/g_nmg.c: rt_nmg_export5() broke out of loop too early. Changed "break" into an if block

06:23.14 pra5ad well then
06:23.18 pra5ad lil john was a hit
06:23.26 pra5ad need to bug ppl for pix

18:22.17 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/NEWS: added los and material name support to librtserver
18:35.34 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/NEWS: point parsing/import interface to mged
18:37.46 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/other/Makefile.am: jove must come after termlib (fixes sf bug 1342352 from nohn)
20:36.07 AchiestDragon :(
20:36.10 AchiestDragon config.status: error: cannot find input file: src/conv/comgeom/Makefile.in
20:38.33 AchiestDragon after cvs up
20:39.08 AchiestDragon the dir src/conv/comgeom is present in the tree but empty
20:42.49 brlcad AchiestDragon: update -dP ?
20:44.46 brlcad if you did update -dP, then anonymous is just lagging, but it should have those updates by now
20:45.51 AchiestDragon did >cvs up first ,, just tryed > cvs up -dP ,, and still get same error on ./configure
20:46.26 brlcad did cvs update -dP update files?
20:46.47 AchiestDragon yes
20:47.05 AchiestDragon the up is to update isnt it
20:47.09 brlcad good, then you'll need to ./autogen.sh again since there are new/modified Makefile.ams
20:47.28 brlcad yes up == update
20:52.07 AchiestDragon :)
20:54.18 brlcad you have to run autogen.sh or autoreconf anytime a Makefile.am is added or changes
20:54.56 AchiestDragon is used to kde where its > make -f Makefile.cvs
20:55.31 ``Erik o.O
20:56.04 brlcad heh
20:56.28 brlcad i suppose we could add such a makefile, but it's generally more common to just reautogen in projects
20:57.02 ``Erik heh, or gmake and let it autoregen for you
20:58.55 brlcad gmake doesn't run it for you.. the makefile has rules to update them if configure/autoconf detected a gnu make
20:59.23 brlcad and detected the tools necessary
20:59.42 ``Erik meh, functionally equivelant
21:00.02 ``Erik update Makefile.am, run gmake, automake is run *shrug*
21:00.17 AchiestDragon np as long as theres a way ,
21:00.46 ``Erik automake-1.9, for example, does nto exist on fbsd, it's automake19 ...
21:01.29 ``Erik and i'm not quite sure who to shake my fist at... gnu for sucking, or fbsd for cockblocking
21:01.50 ``Erik heh
21:01.59 brlcad either/both should be a little more accommodating
21:02.02 ``Erik indeed
21:02.42 ``Erik the gnu guys imagine that everyone is using gnu/linux, and the fbsd guys consider autoconf an unnecessary burden, since everyone should be using fbsd
21:02.44 AchiestDragon prefer the ./configure ,, make ,, make install, way its what im used to , if its ./autogen.sh first then fine
21:03.12 brlcad AchiestDragon: it's only autogen.sh first because you are working out of CVS
21:03.16 ``Erik "configure && make && make install" is a post-developer type setup... if you grab the tarball of brlcad, it's that way
21:03.24 brlcad if you download a source tarball, it's just ./configure make make install
21:03.39 AchiestDragon yes understand that
21:03.52 ``Erik and it's a whole hell of a lot better than "cake" imho
21:03.54 brlcad all configure-based projects are that way
21:04.10 brlcad yep
21:04.41 ``Erik *sigh* I used to do valuable things before this damn m3 project. :(
21:05.10 ``Erik and I can't convince justin to step out and say "I need erik's help for blah
21:13.22 ``Erik o.O
21:15.44 AchiestDragon getting alot of :-
21:15.56 AchiestDragon <PROTECTED>
21:17.57 brlcad not important
21:35.14 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/configure.ac: see if they have sched.h (aix fix)
21:35.26 ``Erik heh
21:38.01 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/libbu/parallel.c: include sched.h if it's available instead of sys/sched.h (aix fix)
21:53.24 AchiestDragon well compiled and now running ok
21:53.39 AchiestDragon still no archer for linux
21:57.05 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/NEWS: fixed jove compilation issues
21:59.27 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/ (14 files in 9 dirs): remove C++-style // comments as there's no assumption of c99 compiler compliance yet, only c89 (mostly aix compiler though other old compilers too)
21:59.45 brlcad AchiestDragon: when you see commit messages about merging bobWinPort to HEAD will be when archer starts to appear ;)
21:59.57 AchiestDragon k :)
22:14.53 AchiestDragon another bug ?
22:15.39 AchiestDragon http://www.whipy.demon.co.uk/snapshot11.png < graphics window does not update while error message is beeing displayed
22:17.15 brlcad not exactly a bug, but certainly bad/undesirable behavior
22:40.20 ``Erik I'm under the impression that nmg stuff is ass buggy
22:41.04 brlcad some bugs
22:41.07 brlcad lots of complexity
22:41.24 ``Erik it's the part that handles facetization, right?
22:41.33 brlcad the complexity gets it more than anything, lots of cases not accounted for (as they were never encountered during development)
22:42.03 brlcad so they are encountered finally, and then bad things happen "sometimes" (sometimes not too)
22:42.15 brlcad yeah, that's what handles facetization
22:42.26 ``Erik which is ass slow and buggy... :D *duck*
22:43.40 ``Erik O.o
22:44.01 ``Erik and losing half your geometry during teh 2nmg pass is uncool
22:44.19 ``Erik if only someone had the time to fix it...
22:46.05 brlcad well, the alternative in those cases is abort or crash
22:46.23 brlcad since it was something unknown
22:46.40 brlcad it is ass slow and buggy
22:47.06 ``Erik personally, I'd favor noise abort, with a flag to force 'bad data' to be allowed
22:47.10 ``Erik noisey, even
22:47.23 ``Erik loss of data is a cardinal sin o.O
22:47.49 brlcad it's not bad data though - just don't know how to handle it (yet)
22:48.10 brlcad and not converting anything is generally even less useful than converting something :)
22:48.14 ``Erik well, it's a loss of data
22:48.46 ``Erik if I convert object X to object Y, and Y is missing big honkin' chunks, what use was the conversion?
22:48.49 brlcad data's already being "lost" because we're going from an implicit model to an explicit one
22:49.20 ``Erik true, it's coarser by necessity, but when entire regions simply vanish...?
22:49.39 brlcad the use is that you can always convert subportions when a higher level might fail
22:50.06 brlcad so even if a portion is missing, I could figure out which that was, and export that one individually
22:50.40 brlcad (which was the process in the past when there wasn't time to debug)
22:50.50 ``Erik *shrug* i'm still brlcad illiterate, so'z all I can see is "lots of shit is missing"
22:54.04 brlcad maybe i'll beat mike to reimplementing a new tesselator *cough*
22:54.16 ``Erik <-- looks at the clock
22:54.17 brlcad he's somewhat tasked with that indirectly via meshing
22:54.24 ``Erik better step to that, you only have, um
22:54.26 ``Erik 20 or so years
22:54.53 ``Erik I thought he was tasked with a voxel generator?
22:55.24 ``Erik extracting voxel info from brlcad geometry might take a whole 2 hours? the hard part is writing to the "common" format
22:55.47 brlcad depends who you ask and for what
22:56.05 brlcad fem analysis is the base need
22:56.08 ``Erik what's the voxel format lee decided is necessary? starts with n?
22:56.26 brlcad voxels is stuff lee's thinking is sufficient
22:56.49 brlcad though hardly _any_ fem codes prefer regularly gridded meshes
22:57.15 ``Erik heh
22:57.19 brlcad you just don't get good energy simulation/propagation with regularlized voxel grids
22:57.34 brlcad most use adaptive tetrahedral meshes
22:57.42 ``Erik cutting edge is mixed tetrahedron and hexahedron mesh with an active wall
22:57.50 brlcad yeah
22:58.18 ``Erik I tried to tell wendy that I'd be perfect for the fem shit
22:58.20 ``Erik o.O
22:59.02 brlcad i don't think the direction he's suggesting is a good one at all, rather nieve direction really but who knows, it might be sufficient
22:59.08 brlcad even if it's inherintly wrong
22:59.14 brlcad or utterly inefficient
22:59.27 ``Erik who, lee?
22:59.44 brlcad who else
22:59.52 ``Erik <-- swigs more flammable shit
22:59.53 ``Erik o.O
23:00.11 ``Erik hm, "chronicles of riddick" is on tv
23:00.30 ``Erik sometimes lee has a good idea, but I think they may be diamonds in a turd pile
23:00.44 brlcad there were several excellent meshing papers at solid modeling, he's totally ignoring current research
23:00.55 ``Erik but at least when proven wrong, he's willing to admit he was wrong, no?
23:01.01 ``Erik unlike... many....
23:01.02 ``Erik :)
23:01.10 brlcad :)
23:01.30 brlcad also not that the person tasked will be able to implement any of the latest ideas
23:01.53 brlcad or even what's currently being suggested
23:01.59 ``Erik he also provides an effective and astonishing level of protection for those under him, I didn't realize to what extent until after the 'team split'
23:01.59 brlcad without lots of help
23:02.29 ``Erik if by "help" you mean someone doing for him... :D
23:03.20 ``Erik he might actually have some ability, I've just never seen him actually produce
23:03.47 brlcad he's good at fast solutions to a specific problem
23:03.54 ``Erik (he who? I mean mg)
23:04.01 brlcad might not be maintainable, or readable, or extensible
23:04.13 brlcad but it usually works, and works well enough for what was needed at the time ;)
23:04.26 brlcad and didn't take too long to implement
23:04.37 brlcad at least if we're talking code
23:05.16 brlcad ahh, i didnt mean him of course if it wasn't obvious.. ;)
23:06.41 ``Erik figured, heh
23:07.12 ``Erik <-- watches chronicles of riddick and waits for his tamales and margarita
23:51.29 AchiestDragon given current situation here , going to have to spend some time securing the firewall , and getting up to date on net securaty
23:52.08 AchiestDragon and find out what legal action i can take against yahoo :(
23:52.57 AchiestDragon dam spammers
