02:04.31 IriX64 opera loads it fine (they missed a couple :P)
02:05.06 IriX64 windows firefox also loads it go figure
02:05.20 AchiestDragon well i find i dont have problems with konquror 99% of the time where with firefox its 75% of the time , i dont use ie unless nothing else works
02:05.43 IriX64 i use first one that works :)
02:06.13 IriX64 anybody got an old copy of netscape?
02:06.20 AchiestDragon i use konquror as my default browser and prefer it
02:06.44 IriX64 I don't browse much anyway
02:07.38 AchiestDragon what version of netscape , and what os , think i have a few versions of it arround someware
02:07.59 IriX64 dos netscapev1.0a
02:08.05 IriX64 :)
02:08.11 AchiestDragon :)
02:08.34 IriX64 i actually do have trumpet around here somewhere
02:09.03 AchiestDragon dont have that , have a beta of the first linux version of it on a disk someware though
02:09.37 IriX64 someware i like it i'll call anything i develop someware from someware labs :)
02:11.10 AchiestDragon since moving i have managed to misplace a large portion of my old cd's still have to get them sorted out , probablay still at the ex's
02:11.57 IriX64 i've gotta play cable swap one day and install my 5.25" drive and recover a lot of stuff and burn it to cd
02:12.17 IriX64 silly asus left the b drive out of their bios
02:12.33 thing1 hehe
02:12.58 IriX64 the a drive supports 5.25 tho kudos to them
02:13.52 thing1 :)
02:14.01 IriX64 I know microsoft didn't take out 5.25 support, if they did i'll put it back ;)
02:14.13 thing1 hehe
02:14.19 AchiestDragon i only have 2 machines with a 3.5" floppy left in them , but not used a flopy in the last 2 years
02:14.50 IriX64 still uses for them i.e sneakernet when bringing a new system up
02:15.10 AchiestDragon and mostly now its transfering cd data to dvd's
02:15.35 AchiestDragon ho for optical cube drives
02:15.40 IriX64 thats something I don't have yet (read children get it first)
02:17.14 AchiestDragon well for the cost when i put a system together may as well put a dvdr in it rather than a cdr theres verry little cost diference now
02:17.49 AchiestDragon and for backup well 4Gb beats 700mb per disk
02:17.49 IriX64 true but i wish dvd's could read cd's
02:17.58 IriX64 yes
02:18.39 AchiestDragon the dvdw drives do cd, cdr , cdrw ,dvd , dvdr and dvdrw
02:19.00 IriX64 how pricey?
02:19.04 AchiestDragon <PROTECTED>
02:19.37 AchiestDragon like £30 for a good one and as low as £18 for a cheap one
02:19.55 AchiestDragon a cdrw is about £10 to £20
02:19.57 *** part/#brlcad thing1 (n=ric@203-59-252-34.dyn.iinet.net.au)
02:20.05 AchiestDragon GBP
02:20.21 IriX64 mult by 2 for here then?
02:22.04 AchiestDragon http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=571850
02:22.56 AchiestDragon that place nolonger sells cd only drives
02:26.05 IriX64 how do they handle shipping to the "colonies" :)
02:26.26 IriX64 i'm a little slow to cut and paste unix style
02:26.55 IriX64 suppose i could just read this page :)
02:27.53 IriX64 they sure have a selection
02:28.46 IriX64 ahh well one day I too will have a dvdrw
02:30.02 AchiestDragon if you make a sails support queary they should be able to give you info about postage , i know ther will be no vat to pay on exports but you may have inport tax
02:30.25 IriX64 and maybe duty?
02:31.17 AchiestDragon inport tax / duty yes , depends on your local rouls on that
02:31.52 IriX64 I'll try local first but thanks for the site
02:32.46 AchiestDragon the stink we get here when inporting goods is the carriers chage a £40 fixed rate for processing inport tax , even if theres only £10 of tax
02:33.01 *** join/#brlcad thing0 (n=ric@203-59-252-34.dyn.iinet.net.au)
02:33.06 *** part/#brlcad thing0 (n=ric@203-59-252-34.dyn.iinet.net.au)
02:33.53 IriX64 same you have to go through a imort agent here depending where it's from
02:34.01 IriX64 err import
02:34.02 AchiestDragon so £100 about $200usd product including shipping gets to be £157 that makes it more like $300usd
02:34.18 IriX64 i see
02:35.27 AchiestDragon it only starts to work out better when you oder goods of over £1000 that sort of hides the £40 charge
02:36.01 IriX64 mmmm i still would have a heart attack :)
02:39.02 IriX64 I *do so like my stryker wallpaper, thankyou aberdeen :)
02:39.56 IriX64 theres a shot of my desktop with that wallpaper on the Irix32 site brlcad albumn i think
02:40.53 AchiestDragon try http://www.achiestdragon.org4/index.php?title=Image:Splat.jpg&oldid=128
02:41.19 IriX64 IriX32 is only half of me, IriX64 is the whole of me, just like 42 is only half the answer the whole answer is 84
02:41.37 AchiestDragon it gives a nice optical illusion as you move eather towards or away from the screen
02:43.55 AchiestDragon i did that with the gimp and kriter
02:46.12 IriX64 the page cannot be displayed :(
02:46.36 AchiestDragon try http://www.achiestdragon.org/index.php?title=Image:Splat.jpg&oldid=128 opps link wrong
02:48.00 IriX64 what is that? what is that? (I call it the colorfull vortex of the mind :))
02:48.49 AchiestDragon yes , it was and attempt to get an image that looked something like the stress pattens when you press on a lcd screen
02:50.06 AchiestDragon i only did it at 1600*1200 though
02:56.58 IriX64 you did a good job are you an artist?
02:57.08 AchiestDragon i call it splat i was just experimenting with the effect filters
02:57.22 IriX64 with gimp?
02:57.40 AchiestDragon i do some art when im in the mood but not as a main pastime
02:58.06 AchiestDragon the gimp its the gnome art program , and kritter is the kde one
02:58.41 AchiestDragon i was doing some beta testing on kritter when i did that one
02:59.13 IriX64 http://rafb.net/p/hkEbpg81.html <--- here's what i just built :)
03:00.07 IriX64 hah and it actully works
03:00.23 AchiestDragon <PROTECTED>

03:14.54 IriX64 irssi
03:15.06 louipc nice
03:15.17 IriX64 very just not used to it
03:16.42 IriX64 back to playing with brlcad (I'll learn how to use it eventually, the concept of drawing with algebra is foreign to me)
03:21.30 IriX64 ive got that irssi package for windows on my ftp server, now if only sympatico would get their act in gear and enable anonymous logins :)
03:26.16 IriX64 windowsirssi.zip i wonder if anybody would actually want it, oh well it's there
03:29.45 louipc maybe linux users that have to use windows at work or something
03:30.18 louipc what does sympatico have to do with anon logins?
03:30.33 louipc oh they're hosting the server huh?
03:30.58 IriX64 they let me have a spot :)
03:31.36 IriX64 try the irix32 site, brlcad albumn proving to myself rot 45 45 45 still works
03:32.37 louipc I can't view that page. it uses non-standard XML and my browser is very picky about it

03:50.46 IriX64 from your url
03:52.34 IriX64 does it have to be a picture i could let you have windowsirssi.zip.
03:53.09 AchiestDragon its a wiki its part of the my site www.achiestdragon.org if you go to upload file then yes but you need to be loged in to do that
03:53.21 AchiestDragon its set for zip and pdf files also

03:57.33 AchiestDragon http://www.achiestdragon.org/index.php?title=Image:Plant.jpg&oldid=125
03:58.02 AchiestDragon it shows here and its a local connecton to the server here , refreshes ok
03:58.09 IriX64 louipc try an alternate server
03:58.23 IriX64 nice and i like the crocodile
03:58.39 IriX64 is that a collar round it's neck
03:59.46 AchiestDragon best viewed at 100% zoom on the original theres a lot of stuff in the details like the plant roots
04:00.36 IriX64 i see a lot of things, baby crocs for example :)
04:03.02 IriX64 pleasure by the way
04:03.15 AchiestDragon i did quite a few pics trying stuff out , but the mouse is not the best input device for it , im more used to doing pencil schetches , realy need a good graphics tablet but at over £400 for a hafl decent one its a bit mutch to concidder for someting that only gets occasional use
04:04.05 IriX64 true consider a light pen device though
04:05.00 AchiestDragon well i realy need one for cad applications also
04:05.38 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/librt/ (nirt.c qray.c vdraw.c): NULL != 0, quell warnings
04:05.38 IriX64 ahh i like the maestro in the clouds in the background complete with baton :)
04:06.21 IriX64 how long did that take you?
04:06.35 IriX64 to draw i mean
04:07.08 AchiestDragon that took 2 days and did about 12hrs a day
04:07.24 IriX64 ouch long hours but looks worth the effort
04:07.57 *** join/#brlcad louipc_ (n=louipc@bas8-toronto63-1128544066.dsl.bell.ca)
04:08.36 IriX64 whoop +2 (chortle)

04:10.06 IriX64 you talent shows man .
04:10.18 brlcad AchiestDragon: interesting image ..
04:12.23 brlcad IriX64: thanks for pointing out the warnings
04:12.35 brlcad though... you could have probably fixed those and provided a patch ;)
04:12.35 IriX64 nice wiggler, caught much with it ?
04:12.49 AchiestDragon lol
04:12.49 brlcad no, it was harmless, but might as well clean it up
04:12.57 AchiestDragon its for jtag programming
04:13.05 AchiestDragon and debug
04:13.14 brlcad s/debug/background/
04:13.27 AchiestDragon ty
04:13.32 IriX64 its your freakin picture :)
04:18.07 IriX64 brlcad: i can't sew ergo no patches from me :)
04:19.21 brlcad you could make a patch if you wanted
04:19.27 brlcad cvs will do it for you
04:20.06 brlcad you edit a file from a cvs checkout, then run "cvs diff -u filename.c > filename.patch"
04:20.12 IriX64 don't know cvs that well, but i must admit i'm curious as to how thats done
04:20.16 brlcad that will create a patch file named filename.patch
04:20.34 IriX64 interesting
04:20.36 brlcad give it a try, edit some random file, run cvs diff -u
04:20.56 brlcad a patch is just a simple text file saying what it was before and after
04:20.57 IriX64 have to be logged in first right
04:21.09 IriX64 in proper dir
04:21.38 IriX64 i don't play with cvs much just update and go
04:24.54 AchiestDragon 6am time for a nap , nn
04:26.16 brlcad IriX64: you only log in once
04:26.20 brlcad AchiestDragon: cya!
04:27.04 brlcad SuperTaz: good comments on the website.. :)
04:35.56 IriX64 tried to do midnight commander for windows, failed miserably, it's too entrenched in the unix file hierarchy
04:36.08 IriX64 sp
04:38.05 IriX64 http://rafb.net/p/hjPt7o36.html <--- this tho is doable, I don't have the support files yet though
04:41.26 IriX64 should do a dump specs .

05:26.29 IriX64 any pictures done by brl-cad of the space station? I'd love to have that for wallpaper
05:27.09 brlcad IriX64: not that I'm aware of
05:27.51 brlcad the only space model I'm aware of actually is the one of the hubble space telescope
05:28.13 IriX64 guess i'll have to visit nasa or jet propulsion labs again :)
05:28.35 IriX64 I saw the hubble and have it i prefer the station
05:31.44 IriX64 suppose i could read the docs but it's easier to ask someone who knows, I've never run the test suite, just what does it do (remembering that the fastest way to get something acomplished is to give it to a lazy slob to do) :)
05:41.41 brlcad it runs a bunch of integration tests
05:41.57 brlcad makes sure some of the basic tools work as expected
05:42.07 brlcad it's not a big deal to run it, give it a got
05:42.10 brlcad s/got/go/
05:54.05 IriX64 I will soons it finishes building again
06:27.33 IriX64 asc2g running must be almost done
06:29.16 IriX64 it's installing roughly how long should make test take?
06:29.37 brlcad only takes a couple minutes
06:29.46 IriX64 ok
06:29.52 brlcad dtidrow_work: my configure line earlier today was: ./configure --enable-optimized CFLAGS=-falign-loops=16 -falign-jumps=16 -falign-functions=16 -falign-jumps-max-skip=15 -falign-loops-max-skip=15 -malign-natural -ffast-math -fr
06:29.56 brlcad eorder-blocks -freorder-blocks-and-partition -mtune=pentium4
06:30.04 brlcad of course, quoting the CFLAGS var
06:30.52 IriX64 heh all i use is --enable-optimize --enable-optimizations
06:31.12 brlcad those two do the same thing
06:31.19 IriX64 compiler uses -msse and -msse2
06:31.39 brlcad it autodetects and uses it if it works
06:31.44 IriX64 yes
06:32.09 brlcad only matters in the new nurbs/brep code
06:32.41 IriX64 i've never compared numbers before, was just curious what make benchmark did :)
06:45.39 IriX64 oh man quarter of three
06:49.13 IriX64 well i typed it
06:50.06 IriX64 heh interesting
06:51.54 IriX64 http://rafb.net/p/yyS2PR59.html <---- there you go
06:52.34 IriX64 bedtime nite
06:57.25 brlcad again, "success" pastings aren't useful .. i know *exactly* what it looks like as I see it over and over and over and ....
06:57.37 brlcad but I'm glad you got it working, and succeeded

08:28.12 brlcad MinuteElectron: I really like it, but think it does still need more too
08:28.29 MinuteElectron Yeah, could you give me an idea as to what?
08:28.54 brlcad i came back several hours ago looking forward to seeing the site.. I suppose you're running the web server off of a desktop/laptop that you shut off? :)
08:29.20 MinuteElectron Yeah, sorry about that - it is currently running on this machine.
08:29.29 MinuteElectron I shut it down for the night.
08:29.42 brlcad figured as much :)
08:31.23 MinuteElectron So, any ideas?
08:35.21 brlcad yeah, I think the layout is what I'm having trouble with at the moment .. it's a blend of two or three styles, and the mix is making it quirky
08:35.36 brlcad tell me which of these did you really like best?
08:35.43 brlcad http://meta.theme.drupaler.net/about

08:36.17 brlcad http://haiku-os.org/
08:36.45 brlcad that's it, of those
08:37.31 brlcad not the graphics or colors per-se, but the layout and structural elements
08:38.15 MinuteElectron I think the first one.
08:38.58 brlcad that one is also nearly identical (structurally) to haiku's
08:39.30 MinuteElectron yeah
08:39.37 brlcad they both have a "top title area" with an embedded menu
08:40.02 MinuteElectron hmm, let me try something.
08:40.07 brlcad separate panels and navigation areas
08:42.33 MinuteElectron Can you give me the link to that page of logos again please.
08:42.45 brlcad I can work up the artwork for that title area if you want, that might help
08:43.00 MinuteElectron yeah
08:43.02 brlcad http://my.brlcad.org/~sean/websites.html
08:43.27 MinuteElectron I meant the actual logos.
08:43.36 MinuteElectron I only have the 256x212 one
08:43.38 brlcad ooh, the logo dir
08:43.42 brlcad sure
08:44.01 brlcad http://brlcad.org/images/logo/
08:44.05 MinuteElectron thanks
08:45.03 MinuteElectron So you are going to make artwork?
08:45.19 brlcad sure I can do that
08:45.27 MinuteElectron what will it look like?
08:45.40 brlcad you tell me
08:46.05 brlcad using http://meta.theme.drupaler.net/about and http://haiku-os.org/ as example drivers -- their main difference is tone
08:47.07 brlcad bold/strong vs subtle/soft
08:47.14 MinuteElectron hmm
08:47.52 brlcad I can make artwork for either, but the design is in your hands as to what you need
08:48.08 MinuteElectron haiku is probably the best IMO
08:48.37 brlcad they use drupal too, btw
08:48.43 MinuteElectron cool
08:49.01 MinuteElectron you could make it use the logo on the far right, with BLR-CAD beside it, and underneath BRL-CAD put the tagline
08:49.05 brlcad though they've almost entirely hidden that fact on the website
08:49.24 MinuteElectron hehe
08:49.59 brlcad their image screenshots are actually a perfect integration of Gallery (e.g. http://haiku-os.org/about/faq)
08:52.47 brlcad so for the top area, titlebar running across the top ..
08:53.12 MinuteElectron yeah
08:53.41 MinuteElectron it should probably be sandwhiched against the top, left and right of the page (no whitespace).
08:53.50 brlcad did you want it to be wrapped like meta or take up the entire area like haiku
08:53.59 brlcad okay
08:54.18 MinuteElectron hehe
08:55.01 brlcad which quadrant for the menu, which for the title?
08:55.50 brlcad meta used top left and bottom left respectively, for example - haiku uses bottom right and center left
08:57.16 MinuteElectron I guess title would be top left, the navigation could be either bottom right or bottom left. if the navigation was botom right then the title would then have to be middle left
08:57.30 MinuteElectron but that would probably look to much like haiku
08:58.02 brlcad don't worry about looking like them, more important to be effective
08:58.35 MinuteElectron ok, then center left and bottom right, alternatively top left and bottom left.
08:59.01 MinuteElectron if you are doing bottom right then the image has to be somehow adaptable so it looks ok in all resolutions (like the one on haiku)
08:59.59 brlcad okay, last detail is whether content area is going to be dark on light or light on dark
09:00.36 brlcad as it affects title area color selection
09:00.43 MinuteElectron I think light on dark since (from what I have seen of the screenshots) BRL-CAD appears to use darker colors.
09:01.36 brlcad that alone will make it look drastically different than haiku's, so more reason to not worry about it being structurally similar :)
09:01.46 MinuteElectron :D
09:02.25 brlcad that's also "kind of" the approach taken on http://blender.org too
09:08.49 MinuteElectron brlcad: You are incorporating the navigation into your artwork right?
09:09.05 *** join/#brlcad elite01 (n=elite01@dslc-082-082-070-099.pools.arcor-ip.net)
09:09.50 brlcad MinuteElectron: as a mock-up layer
09:09.56 MinuteElectron ok
09:10.03 brlcad how that translates to css will probably be pretty different
09:24.30 brlcad alrighty, this is going to take me a while and I need to rest my hands and eyes a bit before I get too deep :)
09:24.42 MinuteElectron ok
09:24.46 brlcad should have something later today hopefully
09:25.27 MinuteElectron cool, can i just ask quickly, where is the visual studio project in cvs/
09:25.56 brlcad for your layout, I'll probably have four elements so you can prepare the css -- the title itself, the left background, the right background, and the menu area
09:26.05 brlcad MinuteElectron: it's in misc/
09:26.08 MinuteElectron ok
09:26.17 brlcad there are actually two
09:26.41 brlcad a vc6 project that does a splendid job of building the libraries
09:27.13 brlcad and a vc7 project that doesn't do as well, but does build about 30 of the binaries one generally needs/wants/expects
09:27.23 brlcad including the modeller
09:27.23 MinuteElectron ok
09:27.26 MinuteElectron cool
09:27.28 MinuteElectron the left and right backgrounds are for just the navigation right?
09:27.34 brlcad so unless you're writing code, you'll probably want the vc7
09:27.48 brlcad left and right backgrounds are so you can make it expanding
09:28.15 MinuteElectron yeah, but just for the nav right?
09:28.31 MinuteElectron *header
09:28.33 brlcad right
09:28.37 MinuteElectron cool
09:29.51 MinuteElectron brlcad: will the menu area be left or right aligned?
09:30.04 brlcad thanks again for working on this, it's going to be awesome
09:30.11 brlcad you'd said bottom left
09:30.16 MinuteElectron ok, :D
09:32.00 brlcad mm.. I need a godel escher bach style cube for C, A, D .. that'd make a great download icon
09:32.42 MinuteElectron are you incorporating the tagline into the header?
09:33.18 brlcad have to see, there's another tagline that is often used too
09:33.33 MinuteElectron ok, but will one be incorporated at least?
09:33.44 brlcad yeah, something
09:33.50 MinuteElectron ok
09:33.51 MinuteElectron cool
09:38.10 MinuteElectron brlcad: I presume that a sidebar will still be needed.
09:39.25 brlcad yeah, probably just have different content
09:39.33 MinuteElectron yeah
09:44.48 MinuteElectron brlcad: There is the issue of tabs, they can either go in a similar place that I put them before (near the page title) or somewhere else (perhaps in the sidebar).
09:53.13 MinuteElectron brlcad: Do you have any idea when I will be able to upload Drupal and MediaWiki onto the server you have? At this point it would be quite useful as settings now have to be set in Drupal so it would be useful to not have to set them twice.

16:40.29 dtidrow heh
16:40.51 dtidrow any idea what the '.hidden' means in this line?
16:41.00 dtidrow 00040f40 l F .text 0000004c .hidden TkStatePrintProc
16:41.14 poolio ah asm
16:41.33 dtidrow no, that's from an objdump output
16:42.54 dtidrow ../../src/libtclcad/.libs/libtclcad.so: undefined reference to `TkStatePrintProc' - that's an error I'm getting in a brlcad build, even though the function seems to exist in libtk8.5
16:43.29 dtidrow so I'm guessing that '.hidden' is keeping the linker from seeing it
16:44.02 brlcad hrm, possibly means it was declared static?

16:46.13 dtidrow tk
16:46.25 dtidrow generic/tkUtil.c
16:46.31 brlcad what version are you on? tkCanvBezier is disabled on cvs head
16:46.46 dtidrow hmmm
16:46.55 dtidrow I dl'ed the latest tarball
16:46.58 brlcad in the process of removing it
16:47.00 brlcad ahh, okay
16:47.18 dtidrow they're removing it?
16:47.34 brlcad no, I"m in the process of removing it
16:47.39 brlcad it's been a headache for years
16:47.39 dtidrow heh
16:48.26 dtidrow what version are you on? tkCanvBezier is disabled on cvs head - referring to brlcad or tk?
16:48.29 brlcad john anderson implemented a bezier canvas for the 2D bezier line drawings in the sketch editor
16:49.12 brlcad that tkCanvBezier was originally a direct enhancement to tk (meaning we had to ship a customized tk), but was later pulled out so that we could try to link against system tk libraries
16:49.27 brlcad 7.10.1 is cvs head
16:49.31 dtidrow ah
16:50.22 brlcad even after tkCanvBezier was pulled out of Tk, though, it still needs Tk internals, private structures that you don't have access to from a system-installed Tk (i.e. that MODULE_SCOPE changes after installation)
16:50.22 dtidrow I was experimenting with some additional optimizations yesterday, and kept stumbling over compile failures or other problems
16:50.58 dtidrow well, I was building tk8.5 from tarballs, so that's not a problem to change
16:51.08 dtidrow and tcl, for that matter
16:51.30 brlcad that's actually the only thing holding up release -- to use a different bezier line drawing approach
16:52.43 dtidrow I was also getting a problem in ifftc nevewr terminating during the build, chewing up all the available disk
16:53.21 dtidrow just from experimenting with various optimization flags :-\
16:53.40 brlcad heh
16:54.04 brlcad those can be *really* massive functions
16:54.29 dtidrow several gig text files????
16:55.07 brlcad oh, running ifftc itself didn't terminate?
16:55.27 brlcad or compiling the files it generates didn't
16:55.44 dtidrow ifftc itself didn't terminate
16:56.06 dtidrow ./configure --enable-optimized --with-opengl --with-cflags="-march=nocona -msse3 -mfpmath=sse,387 -malign-double -mrtd -msseregparm"
16:56.24 dtidrow think that's what caused it
16:57.25 dtidrow -march=nocona could have been hosing things, I suppose
16:58.11 dtidrow is there an -march=core yet?
16:59.14 brlcad hm, I get cc1: error: invalid option 'sseregparm', if I remove that one, ifftc crashes with a bad instruction
16:59.41 brlcad ah, -mrtd caused the bad instruction
16:59.48 dtidrow ah
17:00.18 brlcad hm, otherwise worked clean with CFLAGS="-march=nocona -msse3 -mfpmath=sse,387 -malign-double"
17:00.29 dtidrow was just experimenting with various options :-)
17:00.33 dtidrow k, will try that
17:00.56 brlcad libfft is a fun lib to play with since it generates the source files
17:01.24 brlcad fourier transform kernels of various specified sizes
17:01.46 brlcad having it go to 512 or *gasp* 1024 is really interesting to see how various compilers behave
17:02.32 dtidrow thought it looked a little funky ;-)
17:02.34 brlcad can seriously slow down a compile
17:03.47 brlcad wc gives: 6255 32387 172439 irfft512.c
17:03.48 dtidrow arg - my little one is getting into all kinds of trouble now
17:11.39 dtidrow can't imagine what it would be like to build brlcad on an old 11/780....

20:49.34 MinuteElectron The wireless stick was instantly recognised by Ubuntnu - unfourtunatley I couldn't connect to any networks (well it said I had but the internet wouldn't work).
20:50.37 dtidrow might be a networking issue - did you have ethernet running as well?
20:51.03 MinuteElectron I tried it with and without,
20:52.04 dtidrow nice - about a 11% speed bump just from the extra optimization flags
21:01.00 brlcad dtidrow: very nice
21:01.16 brlcad which options did you use?
21:02.08 brlcad howdy MinuteElectron
21:03.25 MinuteElectron hi
21:11.48 dtidrow --enable-optimized --with-opengl --with-cflags="-march=pentium-m -msse3 -mfpmath=sse,387 -malign-double"
21:12.32 dtidrow used pentium-m instead of nocona because the Core's are supposed to be derived from Pentium-M
21:12.58 dtidrow gcc 4.2 has -march=core2 available

21:22.46 MinuteElectron brlcad: Got a mo?
21:33.10 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/configure.ac: include the configure flags in the summary report, remove surrounding whitespace on the FLAGS variables and only print them if they're not empty
21:34.15 brlcad MinuteElectron: sure, what's up
21:34.21 MinuteElectron website
21:34.32 brlcad still working on the image, not quite done (got distracted with a related icon)
21:34.42 MinuteElectron heh dw
21:35.38 IriX64 dtidrow: http://img528.imageshack.us/my.php?image=stykerbg4.jpg there ya go :)
21:35.55 IriX64 problems being addressed
21:41.56 IriX64 might as well compare benchmarks, running mine now :)
21:44.42 IriX64 RTFM=RealTimeFrameMeasurement :P
21:45.55 IriX64 should have stopped all other jobs i guess
21:46.10 dtidrow heh
21:46.44 IriX64 as I said last night, I prefer accuracy over speed, not that yours is inaccurate :)
21:48.20 IriX64 something wrong here bldg391 always comes up 74 off by 1 0 off by many
21:48.41 dtidrow similar here
21:48.58 IriX64 no idea what goes on there
21:49.17 IriX64 suppose i could open up the code, but I don't care :)
21:49.23 dtidrow sure it's not m35?
21:49.32 IriX64 just a sec
21:49.56 IriX64 whup right i read the wrong line
21:50.00 dtidrow k
21:51.34 IriX64 http://rafb.net/p/kamPt390.html <-- there you go, the whole run
21:52.18 dtidrow what's the cpu?
21:53.23 dtidrow cpu speed, I mean...
21:53.56 dtidrow http://rafb.net/p/QgE7cI34.html - my output
21:57.59 IriX64 all i used was msse3 opteron and --enable-optimized and --enable-optimizations, I rarely play with CFLAGS=
21:58.34 IriX64 now to see if it can display geometry :)
21:58.48 IriX64 whup gotta install it first
22:01.36 IriX64 cleverl programmed into each make install is a coffee break, goona go get some
22:01.42 IriX64 cleverly too
22:06.56 MinuteElectron I *have* to sleep, I am so tired that I accidentally reverted decent code on a project I was working on this morning. Stayling online to download cygwin and brl-cad from CVS. Goodnight.
22:16.11 IriX64 Good Night
22:16.44 IriX64 just how much of the world is represented here (you obviously know where I am)
22:17.49 IriX64 SuperTaz, gotta be Australia :P
22:18.41 MinuteElectron I am UK, but shush about it.
22:19.09 IriX64 got it sorry, what are you doing not in bed :)
22:19.12 MinuteElectron IriX64: Heh, I didn't know you were US.
22:19.29 IriX64 Canada man the colony :)
22:19.33 MinuteElectron IriX64: I had to use the bathroom and came back to check if CVS checkout had finished.
22:19.39 MinuteElectron IriX64: Oh, lol.
22:19.56 IriX64 did cvs treat you well
22:20.24 MinuteElectron Hasn't finished, already at 80+ MB.
22:20.34 MinuteElectron I guess that is about half way
22:20.39 MinuteElectron Well,
22:20.43 MinuteElectron probably not actually.
22:20.49 MinuteElectron If you include all the .cvs files
22:20.53 IriX64 maybe the tarball would have been easier to get started i mean
22:20.56 *** join/#brlcad poolio_ (n=poolio@c-69-251-3-107.hsd1.md.comcast.net)
22:21.01 MinuteElectron Oh,
22:21.15 MinuteElectron I thought there was some problems with the tarball.
22:21.18 IriX64 just unpack it then do the cvs thing
22:21.28 MinuteElectron Oh, I see.
22:21.41 IriX64 dunno how much time youd save
22:21.44 MinuteElectron Started now, I am goin to leave my PC on all night so it doesn't matter.
22:21.53 IriX64 good plan
22:22.06 MinuteElectron Anyway, I really do need some sleep. Laterz.
22:22.11 IriX64 tell it to compile it while you sleep :)
22:22.13 IriX64 later
22:51.43 IriX64 http://img81.imageshack.us/my.php?image=faceplatekv5.png
22:52.35 IriX64 drat, i'll use jpg from now on
22:55.08 MinuteElectron That's better.
22:57.34 IriX64 http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/2814/7101po4.jpg there (latest Build)
22:58.16 IriX64 I'll stop spamming the channel now :)
22:59.39 IriX64 hah i should post the rt that just happened (yeah it works) :)
23:01.51 MinuteElectron hmm
23:01.54 MinuteElectron User@not-3n1jjeirhea /cygdrive/c/brlcad
23:01.55 MinuteElectron $ sh autogen.sh
23:01.57 MinuteElectron autogen.sh: line 75: $'\r': command not found
23:01.58 MinuteElectron autogen.sh: line 93: syntax error near unexpected token `$'{\r''
23:02.00 MinuteElectron 'utogen.sh: line 93: `ident ( ) {
23:02.28 dtidrow ?
23:02.43 IriX64 shouldn't have to type sh
23:03.04 MinuteElectron IriX64: even on cygwin?
23:03.16 IriX64 on mine anyway :)
23:03.24 MinuteElectron heh
23:03.38 IriX64 just type ./autogen.sh
23:03.49 dtidrow should work :-)
23:03.54 MinuteElectron same error
23:04.01 brlcad that's odd (regarding autogen.sh) .. sounds like some windows/unix line ending issue
23:04.02 MinuteElectron the funny thing is there is nothing on line 75
23:04.03 dtidrow better yet, switch to a _real_ OS ;-)
23:04.38 IriX64 you saying mine is a figment of my imagination :)
23:04.48 IriX64 try fedora
23:05.08 dtidrow MinuteElectron: what failed?
23:05.10 MinuteElectron hmm, so I switched from CRLF to LF and now it works.
23:05.15 brlcad IriX64: and RTFM does not stand for RealTimeFrameMeasurement :P
23:05.27 dtidrow lol
23:05.30 IriX64 heh
23:05.43 IriX64 ReadTheFineManual? :)
23:06.02 MinuteElectron ERROR: Unable to locate GNU Autoconf.
23:06.05 MinuteElectron ha
23:06.20 IriX64 www.gnu.org compile and go :)
23:06.30 brlcad IriX64: also no
23:06.33 dtidrow should be in there somewhere
23:06.48 MinuteElectron IriX64: I have to compile on cygwin?
23:06.50 IriX64 RayTraceFigureOfMerit? ;)
23:07.19 IriX64 minuteelctron yes
23:07.23 brlcad bingo
23:07.29 IriX64 heh
23:07.57 IriX64 I'm using 2.61
23:08.09 IriX64 automake 1.9.6
23:08.17 IriX64 libtool 1.5.22
23:09.35 IriX64 ack!! havoc just launched a missile, where do I hide :P
23:10.19 IriX64 you guys are good, I barely understand mug.g let alone something like havoc
23:10.20 dtidrow not behind me!
23:10.50 MinuteElectron ha 'bash: make: command not found'
23:11.23 MinuteElectron this is hilarious
23:11.41 IriX64 you need to install make
23:11.46 MinuteElectron i see
23:11.54 IriX64 www.gnu.org :P
23:12.15 IriX64 www.gnu.org and i are old friends
23:12.25 IriX64 :)
23:12.52 IriX64 you'll need gcc to (thats a feat)
23:13.07 brlcad there are cygwin packages that provide all those things
23:13.26 IriX64 yes but out of date but they'll get you started
23:13.52 brlcad MinuteElectron: if you were on cygwin, you probably shouldn't have pulled the zip file .. that's likely where you're getting line ending problems from if you did
23:14.08 MinuteElectron brlcad: I didn't use the zip file.
23:14.12 MinuteElectron I used CVS.
23:14.17 IriX64 he said cvs
23:14.20 brlcad ah, interesting
23:14.22 IriX64 whup sorry :)
23:15.05 brlcad is the execute bit not set then or something?
23:15.32 IriX64 use theirs to update
23:15.36 brlcad it should tell you to run configure before it tells you to run make
23:15.44 brlcad and configure will fail if there is no make
23:15.56 MinuteElectron brlcad: What do you mean? It was a problem with using CRLFs instead of LF
23:16.23 brlcad i mean, did ./autogen.sh work?
23:16.27 brlcad s/work/run/
23:16.50 brlcad i don't mean successfully, i mean just did it run at all
23:17.18 MinuteElectron It ran.
23:17.38 brlcad okay
23:17.47 IriX64 try this make --version
23:17.56 MinuteElectron IriX64: where?
23:18.12 IriX64 at the prompt
23:18.41 MinuteElectron I found the problem: ./configure failed.
23:18.59 IriX64 where?
23:19.00 MinuteElectron I forgot to install gcc.
23:19.06 MinuteElectron at make
23:19.09 dtidrow d'oh!
23:19.19 IriX64 that'll do it every time :)
23:20.59 MinuteElectron I am getting the hang of this.
