irclog2html for #brlcad on 20051108

01:24.00 pra5ad have any of u used anjuta?
01:29.44 brlcad crazy talk
01:31.51 pra5ad ?
01:35.31 AchiestDragon arrrggg gtk
01:36.20 AchiestDragon no , but been learning kdevelop instead
01:37.43 AchiestDragon or should i say started to but since there chaning to qt4 wating for the qt4 version of it to be stable ,, hmm so 12 month delay or so atm
02:16.53 pra5ad ``Erik, u there?
02:22.47 pra5ad fyi - http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal
02:23.03 pra5ad underquoted defun
02:32.28 pra5ad bah.. autoreconf -I m4 doesn't pass the include dir to autoconf
02:34.58 joevalleyfield ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4
02:35.02 joevalleyfield in Makefile.am
02:35.31 joevalleyfield ?
02:35.46 joevalleyfield you probaby knew that
02:36.20 pra5ad no i didn't
02:36.29 joevalleyfield i just came across it today
02:36.43 pra5ad hmm Makefile.am u say
02:36.46 pra5ad not configure.ac ?
02:36.50 joevalleyfield yep
02:36.53 joevalleyfield not configure.ac
02:37.01 pra5ad that's counter intuitive..
02:37.18 joevalleyfield and as far as i can tell, AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR doesn't do squat
02:37.44 pra5ad ah
02:37.59 pra5ad ``Erik, spelling error
02:38.02 pra5ad checking for library containing glFrustum... no
02:38.02 pra5ad configure: error: Need OpenGL
02:44.31 pra5ad heh, 'forward compatibility' they say (re: AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR)
02:45.15 pra5ad joevalleyfield, but don't u still need to call aclocal -I m4 ?
02:45.20 pra5ad explicitly
02:46.06 joevalleyfield at first
02:46.20 joevalleyfield but when it does the maintainer mode thing
02:46.24 joevalleyfield it doesn't screw it up
02:47.05 pra5ad ah
02:47.18 pra5ad im reading here about setting up autogen.sh
02:51.39 pra5ad ``Erik, scratch that. not a spelling error
03:04.29 pra5ad seems AC_SEARCH_LIBS is broken..
03:04.36 pra5ad checking for library containing glFrustum... no
03:04.36 pra5ad configure: error: Need OpenGL
03:21.21 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/autogen.sh:
03:21.21 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: bogus autom4te.cache protection. handle corrupted/invalid cache dirs that will
03:21.21 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: cause aclocal to fail. handle out-of-date cache dirs that autoconf 'should'
03:21.22 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: recognize but obviously doesn't for at least most current versions of autoconf
03:21.22 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: as well resulting in an unnecessary failure. cache files shouldn't halt tools,
03:21.22 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: stupid lame gnu build system tools.
03:22.39 pra5ad man wtf.. it can find gluPerspective in GLU but not glFrustum in GL
03:23.13 joevalleyfield i guess it doesn't put its failed programs in config.log for that
03:27.46 pra5ad tim saves the day once again
03:27.49 pra5ad configure:4984: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -I./src conftest.c -lGL -lSM -lICE -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lXext -lXmu -lXt -lXi >&5
03:27.49 pra5ad /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXmu
03:27.55 pra5ad while testing -lGL
03:28.15 pra5ad ``Erik, i have xorg
03:30.36 brlcad pra5ad: brl-cad's autogen.sh should be a drop-in and run -- accommodates more stupidities of the gnu build system than I care to enumerate
03:30.58 brlcad ultimately runs autoreconf with the right flags if it'll work, otherwise it'll run the steps manually for you too
03:31.15 pra5ad well this is an issue with ``Erik's script
03:31.18 pra5ad no?
03:32.08 brlcad yes it is, i'm just saying from earlier comment about setting up an autogen.sh script
03:32.13 pra5ad ah
03:32.22 pra5ad well, here's my autogen.sh
03:32.36 pra5ad #!/bin/sh
03:32.36 pra5ad autoreconf --force --install -I config -I m4
03:32.40 pra5ad :P
03:33.04 brlcad yeah, well that will fail in plenty of situations when it shouldn't
03:33.48 pra5ad true, but i only care for ubuntu 5.10 and cygwin (for now)
03:34.17 brlcad *shrug*, your time down the road, not mine ;)
03:35.15 pra5ad heh
03:35.25 pra5ad how much work would it be to update one script
03:38.01 brlcad there's probably a solid two or three weeks worth of time in the current script between hunting down why autoreconf or the other various tools fail under certain situations, debugging some GBS stupidity/bug
03:38.15 brlcad starting out about where you are now in the beginning
03:38.43 brlcad depends just how accommodating you want to ultimately be -- if it's just for you it probably doesn't matter as much
03:40.16 brlcad having any autogen.sh script at all is rather against the gnu folk's retarded "methodology"
03:41.46 brlcad they say basically that you should force all devs onto a specific revision of the gbs tools for all your platforms, with no support for different versions, no accountability for their own bugs and various issues you can run into
03:43.07 brlcad one of the worst aspects of gnu, imo -- those guys and their ideas can be incredibly counterproductive and impractical
03:43.46 pra5ad i expect nothing less from anything connected to 'methodology'
03:43.48 brlcad one of the biggest reasons that make me wish there was a practical popular alternate
03:45.10 ``Erik o.O
03:45.13 brlcad but alas there is not
03:45.34 ``Erik wher'es my 7.6.4 ?
03:46.26 brlcad ``Erik: there's a meeting to uhm discuss it wednesday morning
03:46.38 ``Erik ....
03:46.46 ``Erik nov01, bitch
03:47.05 brlcad preaching to the preacher
03:47.16 ``Erik I'm of the user community, right? tell mgmt that the user community is complaining about the delayed release.
03:47.23 ``Erik contributing user community.
03:47.27 ``Erik damnit.
03:47.41 brlcad i'll be bringing up something to that effect
03:47.47 ``Erik heh
03:48.11 ``Erik :(
03:48.23 pra5ad brlcad, what module do i checkout from the rep
03:48.24 pra5ad o
03:48.33 brlcad pra5ad: for what?
03:48.38 pra5ad brlcad
03:48.46 brlcad heh
03:48.48 brlcad "brlcad"
03:48.54 brlcad you didn't even try did you
03:49.05 pra5ad u know i didnt
03:49.06 pra5ad =)
03:49.17 brlcad heh
03:49.54 ``Erik damn student (crazy daisy, w00)
03:50.02 pra5ad ``Erik, soo
03:50.07 pra5ad whats with the X libs
03:50.14 ``Erik they're libs
03:50.15 ``Erik for X
03:50.17 pra5ad my system doesnt have Xmu defined
03:50.26 ``Erik really?
03:50.30 ``Erik that's... interstying
03:50.33 ``Erik interesting
03:50.35 pra5ad have the library*
03:51.06 pra5ad (as in has no libXmu.so/a symlinks by default)
03:51.26 pra5ad but why are the x libs required for the gl test
04:07.40 pra5ad sean
04:08.01 pra5ad the .cvsignore files in the src subdirs dont include Makefile.in
04:08.44 pra5ad the top level .cvsignore adds it. does it propogate down to the subdirs?
04:09.07 pra5ad iirc the man page said it wouldn't
04:57.25 pra5ad haha once of my classmates from umd just got into redmond (win ce team)
04:58.12 brlcad they are not recursive, no
04:58.25 brlcad if you want global, you can add it to the CVSROOT ignores file
04:59.06 pra5ad bad external dependancies
04:59.15 pra5ad ``Erik, u didnt answer my question
04:59.45 ``Erik what question?
05:00.08 pra5ad pra5ad but why are the x libs required for the gl test
05:00.20 pra5ad i can build w/o em
05:00.55 ``Erik historically, gl libs quired X libs available on leenewx and fbsd
05:01.33 ``Erik bear in mind the age of the m4's... i cracnked the fuckers up during the 'glide' days, yo
05:01.54 pra5ad well besides the xlibs, the ac_defun function names need [] to kill some warning
05:02.01 pra5ad other than that
05:02.11 pra5ad i have it working on ubuntu 5.10 & cygwin

05:25.26 *** join/#brlcad lachyg (n=lachlan@ppp225-81.lns2.adl4.internode.on.net)
05:28.15 lachyg hi....does does brlcad include the ballistics and radar simulation tools? because the website doesn't make it too clear
05:33.41 brlcad lachyg: yes and no
05:34.18 brlcad there are various analysis codes that are non-geometric specific that utilize brl-cad
05:34.34 brlcad but that brl-cad does not ship ourselves
05:34.47 lachyg ah ok, that's what i wanted to know
05:34.56 brlcad the base tools, however, are -- that is the tools for geometric interrogation and rendering
05:35.13 lachyg any Free (with a capital) ones out there?
05:35.15 lachyg okay
05:35.17 brlcad including non-optical rendering, multispectral imaging
05:36.08 lachyg ok
05:36.08 brlcad there are some free, but not necessarily readily available or available to just anyone
05:36.45 lachyg i'd meant GNU-style Free...but yeah, i'm outside the US, so i doubt i'd be able to get them too easily
05:37.52 brlcad some of them are in a gnu-style free, just not gnu ;)
05:38.31 brlcad ballistics and radar are very domain specific, you're not going to find much
05:39.13 brlcad brl-cad is probably the defacto base code for the ballistics analysis codes
05:40.02 lachyg okay....any names i should google for? 'cos i'm just learning it at the moment, looking for some of the "hey, this is cool" type stuff
05:41.39 lachyg yes, it's childish i admit :)
05:42.21 brlcad nothing I could really suggest :)
05:42.52 brlcad search long enough and you'll undoubtedly find some of them though
05:43.05 brlcad at least references to them
05:43.44 lachyg brlcad, ok, thanks a lot then

14:16.08 CIA-12 BRL-CAD: The MGED mvall command was not catching when the user renames a sketch that
14:16.08 CIA-12 BRL-CAD: is used by an extrude primitive. The change mimics the treatment for
14:16.08 CIA-12 BRL-CAD: combination records. If the primitive being renamed is a sketch, we search
14:16.08 CIA-12 BRL-CAD: to see if any "extrude" uses the sketch and updates the name in the "extrude".
