00:27.27 IriX64 dinner had me for lunch ;)
00:28.28 IriX64 mmm +e = eavesdrop mode ? :)
00:30.20 IriX64 question... when you enable-almost-everything does with-x still need to be specified (goof try it and see but im lazy)
00:31.01 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/autogen.sh: gah, search the configure.ac file instead of just sitting there idle
00:33.30 ``Erik if X is in a 'normal' place, it should just be included... if it's in a weird place, it needs to be specified
00:33.54 ``Erik <-- has a few machines with /usr/Xorg to intentionally break stuff that assumes /usr/X11R6 /usr/X11 /usr/X
00:34.07 IriX64 so even with-x isn't needed?
00:34.23 IriX64 got it thanks.
00:39.38 IriX64 doh X is already up.
00:39.47 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/autogen.sh: missing var init when printing summary of invalid macros in use
00:41.13 IriX64 just out of curiosity, how many ppl have managed to get brlcad to compile on a cygwin installation?
00:43.07 IriX64 I sent ValarQ some screen shots of my attempts. :)
00:44.14 ``Erik not a clue, there are msvc 6 and 7 things
00:44.39 IriX64 man msvc does not apply here.
00:45.01 IriX64 visual c on cygwin? :)
00:45.28 dtidrow cygwin ought to be using the makefiless, I would imagine
00:45.49 IriX64 started from autogen compiling now.
00:46.38 IriX64 all the nurb stuff going by.
00:47.48 IriX64 mc
00:49.12 IriX64 if winsock.h is defined it bombs till i comment out that define, multiple defintions errors
01:09.22 brlcad IriX64: i've compiled (fully) and run under cygwin several times
01:09.56 brlcad sometimes requires a few patches, sometimes it's been clean .. depends on the state of things
01:11.51 brlcad couldn't get mged tk interface to come up due to some tk run-time problems (wrong compilation flags), but it compiles and classic runs fine
01:38.03 IriX64 24 minutes 46 seconds compile time
01:38.55 IriX64 just about installed the channel :)
01:39.59 IriX64 usually compiles clean here (cept for that winsock thing) and runs fine.
01:40.44 IriX64 importF4gSection.c tho has some functions that are defined already in fast4g
01:43.34 Maloeran Hey IriX64, we haven't seen you around for a while
01:44.37 Maloeran I never realized Mark was rewording my progress reports, "too technical" apparently
01:50.31 ``Erik 'progress reports' are for nontechnical people to say "oh, cool, ti's all good" or "ohs noes, do we need to find him some help?"
01:56.56 IriX64 Maloeran: been busy..
01:58.25 Maloeran *nods* I thought it was mostly read by you, Lee, Mark
01:58.36 IriX64 well, it's up now what do I do with it :)
02:05.40 louipc hmm none of the three sites listed for URToolkit sources work
04:47.51 Maloeran Ah, no big deal Erik
04:47.57 Maloeran Mark : "I needed to reword progress report since management didn't understand most of what was in it :). Please review my update (attached) [...]"

08:00.03 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/tclscripts/archer/pkgIndex.tcl: force specification of the Archer package, even though there's a processing error related to env(ARCHER_HOME) that still has to be fixed. this issue was noticed and fixed by Yugami - marcbritten, sf patch #1612642.

08:20.58 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/AUTHORS:
08:20.58 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: noticed that src/tclscripts/bgerror.tcl is documented to have been written by
08:20.58 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: Rick Garriques, Jr. so credit him accordingly. although initially written in
08:20.58 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 2000, the file was added (by bob) as part of the windows port effort.
08:22.54 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/tclscripts/archer/Archer.tcl:
08:22.54 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: env(ARCHER_HOME) needs to get set to something even if the set in the catch
08:22.54 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: statement fails in order for a pkgIndex.tcl to have the appropriate package
08:22.54 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: ifneeded generated. it was failing because argv0 is not necessarily set.

08:54.32 clock__ brlcad: when I do some editing and then type "reset", it resets only the active pane
08:54.42 clock__ When I select reset from the menu it resets all of them
08:54.44 clock__ Is this a bug?
08:55.15 brlcad not really
08:55.23 brlcad it is inconsistent, but expected
08:55.42 brlcad commands are (almost entirely?) written to only apply to the current pane
08:55.52 brlcad menu options are a mix
08:55.59 brlcad depending on the checkbox
08:57.05 brlcad the commands should/could be modified to respect the "apply to all panes" checkbox, but that would be a new improvement
09:20.44 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/AUTHORS: f. hartley
10:48.50 brlcad mm.. breakfast
11:22.59 clock__ hartley is it the guy who invented the hartley oscillator?
11:26.21 brlcad nah, he was a summer student that work on the initial code conversion from k&r syntax to ansi

23:46.19 SWAT how can I open an .igs file with brlcad? (and for that matter, how can I turn/view it, and afterwards print it?)
23:48.06 SWAT and is there a way to convert an .igs file to .dwg or .dxf so it can be opened in other applications? (in combination with this, is it possible that a commercial tool would use it's own (incompatible) version of IGES which can't be read by brlcad?)
