17:36.26 IriX64 Hilarious, my cross-compiler produced a ymp brlcad, now how the hell do I test it. :)
17:36.57 brlcad look for a virtual machine?
17:37.11 brlcad the history of computing project might support them (though I don't recall seeing them)
17:37.26 IriX64 we've had this discussion, vmware doesn't cut it for that. :)
17:37.42 brlcad hmm?
17:37.52 brlcad no.. i mean a simulation virtual machine
17:38.17 brlcad vmware is only x86 iirc anyways.. you'd need one that emulates cray
17:38.49 IriX64 simulate unicos?
17:40.17 IriX64 i'll build a sparc64 build next :)
17:40.17 IriX64 what os do you recommend? sunos or solaris64?
17:40.53 IriX64 doubt i'll find any takers, i'm a complete unknown in the industry.
17:42.49 ``Erik simh ?
17:43.16 IriX64 ``Erik, i'm restricted to x86.
17:43.36 IriX64 on what platform?
17:43.58 ``Erik if you don't have the hardware or emu's to test a 'cross platform build', why bother? you're just cooking time and cpu for something that probably isn't right...
17:44.13 ``Erik why not take a look at the tracker and see if there's something useful you can do?
17:44.18 ``Erik :)
17:44.21 IriX64 hah prove it isn't right. :)
17:44.46 IriX64 sigh i suppose the burden of proof lies with me though.
17:44.55 brlcad simh is pretty cool
17:45.03 brlcad but I don't think they do cray hardware iirc
17:45.15 IriX64 short description please, ive honestly never heard of it.
17:45.15 ``Erik I don't remember seeing 'em, but I was after the pdps
17:45.21 ``Erik heh, lisp 1.5 on a pdp1, awesome :D
17:45.39 ``Erik irix64: http://simh.trailing-edge.com/
17:45.49 IriX64 pdp0 :)
17:45.58 IriX64 thankyou.
17:46.00 brlcad i'd love to integrate simh as part of the testing for the benchmark suite numbers
17:46.19 ``Erik opposed to removing cruft for machines no one uses anymore? :D *duck*
17:46.27 brlcad need to compute sphflake on something that'll give a vgr of 1
17:46.41 IriX64 btw i can cross to pdp11 or vaxen.
17:46.52 ``Erik there's a sysV image for pdp11 on simh's 'extras' page
17:47.05 brlcad more fun to install netbsd
17:47.06 ``Erik :>
17:47.20 ``Erik I tried to get it running, but I don't think I was wiring the console right
17:47.28 ``Erik ooh, v6 and v7, too
17:47.51 ``Erik cp/m? ;)
17:47.54 brlcad i got it running, played with it for a couple weeks -- had to change some code to get it to behave though, networking stuff iirc
17:47.55 IriX64 fine point soldering iron mode engaged ;)
17:48.18 IriX64 no dont do the z80, its not in config.sub.
17:48.35 ``Erik my first machine ran cp/m on a z80 chip.... coleco adam, yo
17:48.56 brlcad getting netbsd in there was quite a feat -- attached the iso as a disk image to simh, dd'd the raw device in simh to get an internal file that I was then able to mount
17:49.12 ``Erik hah
17:49.21 ``Erik on which machine?
17:49.25 ``Erik the pdp11?
17:49.39 IriX64 heh mine was called xor.
17:49.50 brlcad the vax iirc
17:49.55 IriX64 superbrain too i played with.
17:50.22 IriX64 ohio scientific, man talk about strange.
17:50.44 ``Erik there's a pre-existing netbsd for vax, and a 4.3bsd, dude...
17:51.48 ``Erik <-- kinda surprised plot doesn't have access to soltab info
17:52.11 IriX64 will this canonicalize --build=sparc64-sun-solaris64 ?
17:52.45 ``Erik you probably want --target=, and you have to make sure your CC points to the right cross-compiler...
17:52.59 IriX64 its automatic.
17:53.22 IriX64 set build if a xcompiler is detected it wioll be used.
17:53.29 IriX64 will too.
17:53.50 ``Erik ... as long as the crosscompiler is the first thing in the search list or CC is set to it...
17:54.19 IriX64 i pasted a config summary here, got my knucles rapped, forget what i was building there though :)
17:54.34 IriX64 cc is set to cassie.exe man.
17:54.38 ``Erik $ ./config.guess
17:54.38 ``Erik sparc-sun-solaris2.8
17:54.51 IriX64 solaris64
17:55.26 IriX64 ld is set to cassield.exe :)
17:55.48 IriX64 hand crafted.
17:55.57 ``Erik aren't they all?
17:56.16 IriX64 there now to start makeing it.
17:57.28 IriX64 and in about an hour i'll have some code to inspect.
17:57.47 IriX64 hexedit rules :)
17:58.20 ``Erik od, yo
17:58.48 IriX64 having a problem with crtsuff.c
17:59.54 IriX64 multiple definition of __do_sjlj_init but only when i'm building shared libraries, how odd.
18:00.15 brlcad ``Erik: which "plot"?
18:04.09 IriX64 haha dire straits - money for nothing.
18:06.02 IriX64 ValarQ thank you for pointing me to irssi.

18:32.46 IriX64 errr, bjorkBSD, just which build of BRL-CAD are you playing with?
18:40.02 IriX64 bjorkBSD: shot6.jpg on ftp.brlcad.org to show you why my version number is different than yours. :)
18:41.20 IriX64 course i just renamed gcc.exe to cassie.exe :)
18:48.50 IriX64 in geometry browser double click on the name of an object (not the folder icon but the actual name) does an mged e.
18:53.55 IriX64 shot7.jpg on ftp.brlcad.org shows it in operation.
18:56.00 IriX64 gotta move my system back downstairs, see youall later.
18:56.20 brlcad ``Erik: that's because you have to invoke rt_prep() to compute the soltabs.. mged doesn't (currently) prep anything, only the tracers do
19:12.16 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03bob1961 * 10brlcad/src/tclscripts/archer/Archer.tcl: Check-in for Doug. Mods to remember the last directory searcher for a database. Added more menu entries for transparency.

22:07.04 IriX64 this is good, but why on earth would anybody need to be on multiple networks at once? Are people built that multi-tasking capable? :)
22:18.16 ``Erik networks as in irc networks?
22:18.34 ``Erik I'm on 3... this pos, the lame gnome one, and the one true irc net, efnet...
22:25.16 fenn i am capable of simultaneously filling many networks of IRC chatrooms with mindless drivel
22:25.21 IriX64 with the same client? :)
22:26.21 fenn no, my drivel-generating circuitry is powered by a massively parallel multiprocessor core
22:27.20 IriX64 massivly... and i'm lost ;)

22:38.23 IriX64 before I go tho, did anybody look at those screen shots?
