irclog2html for #brlcad on 20060814

00:00.50 myric brlcad here was telling me that I don't really need it anyway
00:01.06 myric I was trying to get archer to work in linux and wanted to build everything
00:01.15 dtidrow yeah, I was catching up on the conversation :-)
00:01.31 myric just to make sure whatever changes I made didn't break something else
00:02.04 myric I seem to be able to make primitives in archer, but it's giving me a lot of error messages
00:03.15 brlcad an example error?
00:03.49 myric oh ok sorry
00:04.00 myric db_lookup(arb8.1.version2) failed: arb8.1.version2 does not exist
00:04.24 myric I created a few arb8's and I am just moving them around and such
00:04.53 myric this is one I get whenever I create a new object:
00:04.56 myric Hiding BRL-CAD geometry (arb8.1.version2) is generaly a bad idea.
00:04.56 myric This may cause unexpected problems with other commands.
00:04.56 myric Are you sure you want to do this?? (y/n)
00:05.34 brlcad ahh
00:05.54 myric I'll be a few minutes. Gotta put my daughter to bed.
00:06.08 brlcad that's some of archer's version tracking magic, not bad behavior (though it should quell that message)
00:17.06 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/librt/db_io.c: can't get an mrec of a v5 database
00:37.56 myric well I seem to be able to make basic shapes. I'll see if I can figure out why it's giving me the error messages.
00:40.43 brlcad that one in particular wasn't an error message
00:40.58 brlcad just a verbose warning for interactive mode
00:41.45 myric the one about hiding geometry?
00:41.46 brlcad archer stashes previous versions of objects as "hidden" geometry, which can as it notes cause unexpected problems with other commands if you tried to mess with them
00:42.39 myric The GUI stops responding until I go to the vt and type y or n...
00:43.15 brlcad ah, hm.. that's not exactly expected ;)
00:54.32 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/mged/clone.c: prepare for making v5 primitives, restore abort on v5 combinations.
01:00.38 myric so how far along is archer. I don't seem to be able to do boolean operations.
01:00.41 myric ?
01:03.46 myric not a complaint, just wondering if I'm missing something
01:05.49 brlcad hmm, i'd have to defer that to archer's main dev (Bob) .. but I was under the impression that booleans should be fine
01:05.59 brlcad are you referring to the command line or something in the gui?
01:06.30 brlcad if anything, I believe the command line should let you make booleans as it's just an embedded version of mged's command line (for the most part)

16:26.03 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/conv/fast4-g.c:
16:26.03 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: this should allow for longer length object names when performing a conversion
16:26.03 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: instead of seemingly arbitrarily limiting the names to 16 characters. this
16:26.03 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: change is made in response to sf feature request 1539998 (FastGen to BRL-CAD

17:26.48 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03erikgreenwald * 10brlcad/src/librt/g_metaball.c:

17:41.23 ``Erik http://www.yikers.com/video_hillbillies_mess_with_wrong_guy_and_get_gun_pulled_on_them.html
18:35.14 *** join/#brlcad clock_ (i=clock@84-72-89-63.dclient.hispeed.ch)
19:16.19 IriX64 for(;;) :)
19:16.57 IriX64 same as while(1) :)
19:17.43 ValarQ but the former looks better
19:17.53 IriX64 heh yeah.
19:18.15 *** join/#brlcad clock_ (i=clock@84-72-89-63.dclient.hispeed.ch)
19:18.15 ValarQ while(!FALSE) is pretty nice as well
19:18.31 IriX64 while(!TRUE) is too.
19:18.43 ValarQ but none of them beats: replicate :: Int -> a -> [a]
19:18.51 IriX64 or while(!1) ;)
19:19.03 brlcad loop:
19:19.03 brlcad ..
19:19.06 brlcad goto loop;
19:19.14 brlcad *ahem*
19:19.25 ValarQ why don't you just model a continuation in a monad...
19:19.29 IriX64 duplicate :: char ->b ->(c)
19:19.57 IriX64 heh loopy games ;)
19:20.01 ValarQ oh, a fellow haskeller? :)
19:20.15 IriX64 dashenkup.
19:20.46 IriX64 dvorak had it right. sigh.
19:21.10 IriX64 querty won tho.
19:21.58 IriX64 my constructor was destructed :)
19:22.25 IriX64 gotta rethink this....
19:23.08 IriX64 generating the cygwin code as well as the target system is expensive in size, but it does keep me from having to do two seperate compiles to test the code.
19:23.42 IriX64 lets see if the ymp build is right *this time.
19:26.55 IriX64 cygwin side works now to call peter cray :)
19:33.17 brlcad IriX64: you should try to set up simh vax
19:33.42 brlcad get bsd installed in the vm and then compile brl-cad in there ;)
19:33.50 IriX64 vax i speak, but simh is unknown to me.
19:33.56 IriX64 i c ;)
19:34.09 brlcad http://simh.trailing-edge.com/
19:34.19 IriX64 thank you.
19:34.46 IriX64 you're thinking im pulling your chain?
19:34.52 brlcad http://www.openbsd.org/vax-simh.html
19:35.46 IriX64 its doable execute a cray nop first, system traps the illegal instruction trap and goes for the cygwin entry point.
19:36.35 IriX64 system scans the code looking for the cygwin id if its not found then repoorts the trap.
19:36.45 IriX64 reports too.
19:37.18 IriX64 :)
19:37.45 IriX64 15 years later its all coming together.
19:38.23 IriX64 want me to send you what i started with, cygw~1.exe? (16 megs)
19:39.21 IriX64 swear
19:40.55 IriX64 that hello world i maile ``Erik was my cygwin at work.
19:41.01 IriX64 mailed too.
