00:16.17 IriX64 http://rafb.net/p/oynrsY45.html just curious, have i hit solaris code yet?
00:19.09 IriX64 remember i ignore warnings such as cast make integer from pointer of different size
00:19.43 IriX64 because in a cast i assume you know what you want
00:36.47 IriX64 http://rafb.net/p/UZsUZI80.html <---- is anybody else getting this kind of stuff, this is trying to make bwish
00:37.35 IriX64 reams of errors do you want all of it?
00:40.25 IriX64 http://rafb.net/p/D4wdlm67.html maybe that will help
00:41.45 IriX64 bte mged exhibits the same symptom, i tried compiling it just in its directory
00:41.51 IriX64 btw too

18:30.11 IriX64 brlcad: i deleted that tree and did a fresh complete cvs checkout, waiting on you now at your leisure.
18:31.57 poolio IriX64: It's the weekend, he might not be working today :)
18:33.05 IriX64 doh!!!! yer right

18:34.52 IriX64 heh firefox detected refusing access()
18:35.57 IriX64 probably hides on weekends :)
18:37.14 poolio IriX64: no, i haven't bothered though, been busy with work/play.
18:37.43 IriX64 ahh
18:38.13 IriX64 wonder if others have that problem, i know yukonbob hit it too
18:38.33 IriX64 said something about curling the url
18:41.28 IriX64 http://rafb.net/p/FDzKcw22.html hehe checking the solaris code :)
18:44.13 IriX64 understand how this works, I can follow any of the lines you support and cross compile to my platform :)

21:39.46 IriX64 poolio.... that assert.h thing, thought they fixed it.
21:40.45 IriX64 well i fixed my copy sigh... again
21:41.15 IriX64 sometimes it doesn't pay to start from scratch :)
21:41.53 IriX64 scratch being a complete cvs checkout
21:42.09 poolio I can commit it for you
21:42.33 IriX64 could you just #include <assert.h> with his includes
21:42.43 poolio yeah sure, one sec
21:42.48 IriX64 thanks
21:44.07 poolio which file was it in again?
21:44.23 IriX64 opennurbs_bezier.cpp
21:45.05 IriX64 not sure if it should go there or common.h
21:45.38 IriX64 i put mine in the cpp file
21:46.26 IriX64 is that file name right just a sec
21:47.21 IriX64 its right
21:47.27 poolio I'm just going to put it in opennurbs_bezier.cpp, the dev can move it later if he wants
21:47.39 IriX64 good
21:48.10 poolio alright, cvsup
21:48.19 IriX64 thanks
21:48.37 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: 03poolio * 10brlcad/src/other/openNURBS/opennurbs_bezier.cpp: included assert.h
21:55.03 IriX64 http://rafb.net/p/CKliVD10.html line 3352 or there abouts poolio, why set x11_works to no on a successfull test result?
21:55.22 IriX64 err configure.ac
21:56.04 IriX64 the previos check sets to yes, this one resets to no on success
21:58.14 IriX64 so when i go edit happy, I just change that little no to a yes, and voila my x passes inspection now
21:58.23 IriX64 heh
22:01.57 poolio I ahve a feeling you fail the second check
22:02.19 poolio It doesn't set it to no on success, it sets it to no on failure. And apparently you fail that check
22:06.45 poolio http://rafb.net/p/vXnvBf74.html
22:06.49 poolio compile and run that and tell me what it outputs
22:08.15 IriX64 just a sec
22:12.43 IriX64 undefined reference to _Xnewmodifier map, you telling me my x is broken?
22:12.53 poolio yes siree.
22:13.00 IriX64 crapville
22:13.02 poolio oh wait, it won't even compile?
22:13.06 IriX64 right
22:13.15 poolio oh duh
22:13.23 poolio you have to link the right xlibs, one sec
22:15.11 poolio -lX11
22:16.07 IriX64 gives back a pointer so my x is not broken :)
22:16.23 IriX64 you printfed the pointer its there poolio
22:17.12 IriX64 IriX64@FthrNtr ~
22:17.12 IriX64 $ ./test
22:17.12 IriX64 0x100f0198
22:17.12 IriX64 IriX64@FthrNtr ~
22:17.13 IriX64 $
22:18.58 IriX64 going for a walk cya later, thanks for the commit
22:19.15 poolio IriX64: wait, got another minute?
22:21.49 poolio ah well, you'll read it when you get back. I don't know much about automake so I missed this, but AC_TRY_RUN has 4 arguments, the first is the program, , if the program returns true the second argument is executed, false the third, and ** if autoconf knows it is cross-compiling for another
22:21.54 poolio machine and therefore can't run a test program at all, it doesn't try
22:21.57 poolio but just executes the fourth argument.
22:37.50 IriX64 so what are we saying here i have a busted x11?
22:39.47 IriX64 so,,x11_works=no what will happen on success
22:40.28 IriX64 x11_works gets set to a null?
22:41.44 IriX64 whats wrong with plain ole [x11_works=yes] ?
22:42.39 IriX64 gotta reboot ill be back

22:48.03 yukonbob IriX64: what "display thing" are you talking about...?
22:48.51 IriX64 DISPLAY environment variable brlcad did something about it
22:49.01 *** join/#brlcad elite01 (n=elite01@dslc-082-082-068-204.pools.arcor-ip.net)
22:49.40 IriX64 poolio if i change it to just ,[x11_works] the result is true which means the test passed and i do have that little thing it's testing for
22:49.50 IriX64 err x11_works=yes
22:50.34 yukonbob IriX64: Ahh... ;)
22:53.11 IriX64 the url for fisheye1 is in the topic if you ewant to look
22:53.17 IriX64 err want
22:53.26 poolio IriX64: Well, I don't think it will execute the ,[x11_works] = yes, it detects you are cross-compiling and doesn't even bother to do AC_TRY_RUN (I think). So for now I'd just hack it apart/comment out/whatever to make it run
22:53.50 poolio I don't quite see why that test is being run, it looks like it only is for testing if you are cross compiling
22:53.58 IriX64 right but one argument is set it to that if true correct?
22:54.17 poolio huh?
22:54.19 IriX64 only one ,
22:54.39 poolio Just comment it out / change it to automatically set x11_works = yes for now, and talk to brlcad when he gets back about why they bother to run that test
22:55.00 IriX64 good
22:55.45 IriX64 every time i touch configure.ac he calls me edit happy :P
22:56.50 IriX64 good to be happy tho, edit or otherwise ;)
22:56.56 poolio Well, you are edit happy. There are reasons things are done and checked for in configure.ac and brlcad wants to make sure it compiles and runs on as many systems as possible. So he doens't just wnat to cut out a certain check / modify it so it works for _you_, because that could break the install for many others
22:57.24 IriX64 you mean nobody else is seeing this?
22:58.31 poolio Well, it seems like for some reason or another X11 is automatically disabled if you are cross compiling.(maybe ;))
22:58.41 poolio And I would presume there is a reason, I just don't know what
22:58.47 IriX64 mebbe so :)
22:58.53 poolio I don't think very many people cross compile brlcad
22:59.21 poolio ...why are you cross compiling?
23:01.42 IriX64 oh i see, let me clarify cygwin is not supported, so i follow a code line that is supported and generate code for my system from it
23:02.29 IriX64 true cross compiling is a ways down the road yet
23:03.08 IriX64 but already I have grief, most configures bail out saying can't check such and such while cross compiling
23:03.49 poolio that's a bummer. I feel like if you can compile _for_ a system there is no reason why you can't compile _on_ that system
23:04.05 IriX64 so i cheat and use the build,target,host switches and preprocess configure to provide results based on those.
23:04.57 IriX64 or on another system is the way i feel about it
23:05.17 poolio if you're willing to run cygwin why not just spare yourself a headache and run it in vmware or something
23:05.27 IriX64 if you're in config.sub, i may support you :)
23:05.46 IriX64 vmware is costly
23:05.52 poolio It's actually free
23:06.01 IriX64 since when?
23:06.03 poolio (vmware player)
23:06.20 IriX64 heh thought you meant vmware workstation
23:06.51 IriX64 i actually have an expired copy on here with warp4 on it
23:06.55 poolio no, but if you found someone with vmware workstation and just made an image, you could distribute that image (probalby of a linux install with brl-cad)
23:07.13 IriX64 ?? illegal
23:07.21 poolio no, it's entirely legal
23:07.33 IriX64 how vmware costs money.
23:07.57 poolio well find someone who has bought it and use their computer to do it, or ask brlcad nicely and maybe he could do it. he's got funding :)
23:08.07 IriX64 :)
23:11.55 IriX64 see if the BSD or SOLARIS specific stuff successfully builds it means it's working
23:12.28 IriX64 my latest 7.8.8 had the -DBSD flag set it runs here.
