01:55.25 louipc brlcad: ok I found out how to extract images only http://louipc.no-ip.org/VolumeII-Introduction_to_MGED/
01:56.21 louipc but I might have to put the two together manually... or somehow write a program to
01:59.28 brlcad or parse what I just sent you differently ;)
02:00.00 brlcad might be easier to do doc->ms_html then strip the ms namespace crap out
02:02.14 louipc yeah probably
02:02.33 louipc I don't have any MS stuff though :O
02:03.15 louipc well those docs need a good combing over anyways right?
02:03.50 brlcad a real good one, yeah
02:04.01 brlcad need to be broken up into different organization too
02:04.15 brlcad OO will do just as fine with MS stuff :)
02:04.19 louipc ah quite a job
02:04.29 louipc ooh right
02:04.32 brlcad or Neo too
02:04.40 louipc oh never heard of neo
02:05.20 brlcad ah, just an OO fork
02:06.32 louipc ah for mac
02:07.47 brlcad oh yeah

03:06.38 *** join/#brlcad yukonbob (n=bch@whthyt224-180.northwestel.net)
03:45.08 louipc hey openoffice can save in docbook
03:47.02 emtpyc i understand that the openoffice output for docbook is really buggy
03:49.35 louipc better than nothing I guess. They're thinking of using docbook to write documentation in but want to extract stuff from the old docs
03:50.49 emtpyc yeah, i exchanged emails with sean about possibly trying to take on said project.
03:51.17 louipc I'm trying to figure out how to get the images nicely and in the right places
03:51.37 emtpyc in .docbook?
03:52.09 louipc in whatever, as long as I don't have to manually put in each image hah
03:53.00 louipc and as long as it's not doc or pdf :D
03:53.30 emtpyc is there an online repository for all of the images that are used in the documentation?
03:54.13 louipc I can extract the images, and the text but not the two together properly hah
03:54.36 louipc here I extracted some http://louipc.no-ip.org/VolumeII-Introduction_to_MGED/
03:56.54 emtpyc are all the source files in pdf?
03:57.54 *** join/#brlcad alejandro (n=alejandr@190.48.131.165)
03:58.35 louipc brlcad has some doc files you can has for
03:58.39 Ale_1001 hello!
03:58.46 louipc they're not distributed though
04:01.15 brlcad howdy emtpyc
04:01.42 emtpyc hello
04:02.33 brlcad and howdy to you too, Ale_1001
04:03.23 Ale_1001 hello brlcad
04:03.34 Ale_1001 can you help me?
04:03.43 Ale_1001 i am trying to compile brlcad
04:03.46 brlcad that's hard to say without knowing the problem ;)
04:04.00 brlcad which version?
04:04.05 brlcad which operating system?
04:04.19 Ale_1001 http://ibot.rikers.org/%23brlcad/20060202.html.gz
04:04.26 Ale_1001 look at the end
04:04.33 Ale_1001 i have the same problem
04:04.49 Ale_1001 ../../src/libdm/.libs/libdm.so: undefined reference to `XFreeDeviceList'
04:06.07 Ale_1001 when compiling /usr/src/bwish
04:06.22 Ale_1001 /usr/brlcad/src/bwish
04:07.09 brlcad okay, that sounded like an X11 library missing from the link line
04:08.48 Ale_1001 [root@localhost .libs]# strings libdm.so |grep XFreeDeviceList
04:08.48 Ale_1001 XFreeDeviceList
04:08.58 brlcad run this: find /usr/X11R6/lib -name lib\*.a -exec nm -o {} 2>&1 \; | grep XFreeDeviceList
04:09.20 brlcad might just be missing libXi
04:11.32 Ale_1001 [root@localhost .libs]# find /usr/X11R6/lib -name lib\*.a -exec nm -o {} 2>&1 \; | grep XFreeDeviceList
04:11.33 Ale_1001 [root@localhost .libs]#
04:11.36 Ale_1001 nop
04:11.53 brlcad ah, interesting, that's likely why
04:11.57 brlcad no X11 input library
04:12.17 brlcad which operating system is this?
04:12.26 Ale_1001 its fedora 7
04:16.37 brlcad hrm, that should be in the xorg-x11-libs rpm
04:19.01 brlcad Ale_1001: do you have a libXi somewhere?
04:19.37 Ale_1001 [root@localhost bwish]# locate libXi
04:19.38 Ale_1001 /usr/lib/libXi.so
04:19.38 Ale_1001 /usr/lib/libXi.so.6
04:19.38 Ale_1001 /usr/lib/libXi.so.6.0.0
04:20.52 brlcad ahh, there it is
04:21.13 brlcad so then this should find it? find /usr/lib -name lib\*.a -exec nm -o {} 2>&1 \; | grep XFreeDeviceList
04:22.06 brlcad that's rather bizarre/unconventional (and probably wrong) to have X11 libraries in /usr/lib
04:23.14 Ale_1001 [root@localhost bwish]# find /usr/lib -name lib\*.a -exec nm -o {} 2>&1 \; | grep XFreeDeviceList
04:23.14 Ale_1001 [root@localhost bwish]#
04:23.30 Ale_1001 its not there
04:23.35 brlcad ah, no static lib
04:23.41 brlcad that find was only looking in .a files
04:24.27 brlcad so the fix should be something as simple as: cd src/bwish && make LIBS=-lXi
04:25.43 Ale_1001 right!!!
04:25.50 Ale_1001 it work!!!
04:25.55 Ale_1001 you are a master!!
04:26.03 Ale_1001 i will continue compiling...
04:26.14 brlcad you'll probably need to do it again in src/mged
04:26.52 Ale_1001 okis
05:11.09 Ale_1001 it works!!
05:11.27 Ale_1001 thanks brlcad!!
05:12.52 brlcad no problemo
