00:07.20 nKf hi
00:08.04 nKf which c++ preprocessor should i use for compiling brlcad?
00:08.59 brlcad hello
00:09.06 brlcad any
00:09.24 brlcad if you're getting a c++ preprocessor error, it usually means that a preprocessor isn'
00:09.27 brlcad isn't installed
00:09.35 brlcad er, that c++ isn't installed
00:09.44 brlcad the C preprocessor should work fine as well
00:10.03 brlcad might get away with ./configure CXXCPP=cpp
00:10.31 nKf well, cpp is installed (3.4 and 4.0) but none of them seems to work
00:10.50 brlcad is g++ installed?
00:11.02 brlcad or tried the CXXCPP=cpp?
00:12.01 brlcad need to run out, back in 2 hours.. :/
00:12.35 nKf g++ ? i use ubuntu.. i found no g++ package
00:13.29 nKf in config.log i see the following message: "cannot exec cc1plus: no such file..."
00:14.08 nKf ok, see you later or tomorrow, thanks anyway
00:22.22 nKf strange thing, you are right... g++ is not installed...
00:24.06 nKf now it work.. thanks a lot... byebye

18:21.00 pier Hi everyone
18:21.33 pier a questin about replication and referencing
18:22.41 pier What is the differences between the two procedures in building them?
18:22.50 pier I mean the commands
18:22.56 pier used
18:47.23 brlcad which commands? or is that what you're asking?
18:47.46 brlcad in general when you create a combination with the g or comb commands, they are simply references, not copies, of the objects
18:47.53 brlcad cp replicates an object
18:48.32 brlcad yet if you cp a combination, it only replicates that combination, not the objects that are referenced inside that combination
18:48.55 brlcad there is a way to perform a "deep copy", but the command escapes me right this second
18:49.03 brlcad and is generally discouraged ;)
18:49.33 brlcad if you cp a primitive, it replicates that primitive just like how it replicates a combination
18:52.48 pier as a matter of fact I created a combination
18:53.01 pier then copied it
18:53.23 pier and moved as a matrix in the right place
18:53.41 pier made several cp of the same comb
18:53.52 pier and placed them but
18:54.28 pier when a change in a dimension called this wasn't reflected in the other objects
18:54.46 pier perhaps I did somethig wrong
19:24.01 *** join/#brlcad clock_ (n=clock@84-72-91-59.dclient.hispeed.ch)
19:53.39 pier Sorry, my fault... it works ... perhaps had one two many
20:01.42 pier too
20:27.23 pier Brlcad.. the translation of the second volume is getting on
20:27.28 pier slowly though
20:28.19 pier I hope to be able to work on it full time as soon as I get rid of some dead lines

21:46.39 *** join/#brlcad nelson (n=nelson@rrcs-72-43-17-50.nys.biz.rr.com)
21:47.35 nelson ignorant question: can I use BRL-CAD to design plastic parts and then send off to a fab shop to have them made?

23:06.07 ``Erik depends on the format the fabricator can take...
23:19.00 brlcad nelson_: for the most part, it can assuming the fab shop groks one of the formats brl-cad exports
23:36.12 ``Erik (finding out if the plastic part has the structural integrity to exist, however, is a different problem :) )
23:45.03 nelson_ So I should locate a fab shop first, and then ask them. Okay, will do, thanks.
23:46.10 ``Erik yeah, I have a feeling "stl" is a common format, and brlcad exports stl files, but some places want them in a certain arrangement, so make sure to ask
23:46.19 ``Erik (like print fabricators want them 'layered'
23:46.19 ``Erik )

23:51.00 nKf hi
23:51.56 nKf i'm back again with new questions :) while compiling i got this error message: ../../src/libdm/.libs/libdm.so: undefined reference to `XFreeDeviceList'
23:52.28 nKf is a library missing? what could be the problem?
23:56.26 ``Erik X
23:56.42 ``Erik that's an Xlib function...
23:59.43 nKf but xlib and xlib-dev ist installed
