IRC log for #brlcad on 20080206

00:13.20 brlcad it is, but mged is still somewhat busted
00:14.04 brlcad failing regression test on head atm too .. trying to track it down
03:03.22 ``Erik O.o
03:03.25 ``Erik what's the error?
03:03.42 ``Erik I fixed some tcl crap in the adrt dir today after starseeker pointed it out
03:07.42 starseeker "Failed to load plugins can't read "Archer::pluginMajorTypeWizard": no such variable
03:08.21 starseeker I click OK on the error box, and then I get the splash screen. Then: bad path: ".file.rt" does not exist. "rt" not valid
03:41.16 ``Erik that's bobs baby
04:02.56 starseeker Yep. Unfortunately his Linux box seems to be waiting on svn...
04:36.58 louipc starseeker: damn the errors just keep flowing eh?
04:50.02 starseeker louipc: I have a hunch that this one is mostly some sort of path issue, but I'm not enough of a tcl/tk guru (so far) to spot it
04:50.21 starseeker (which is to say I know virtually squat about the details of packages in tcl/tk...)
04:56.16 yukonbob starseeker: you could mv the "local" installation away somewhere (ie: mv /usr/lib/tcl /usr/lib/_tcl) and that should at least keep you from wondering which of the installs are being picked up -- from tclsh (or btclsh) the command "set auto_path" will tell you what the value of it's search path is -- and to be clear, the path is what's listed, and their sub-directories.
05:10.52 starseeker I think the path is OK now - that was a different error
05:16.29 starseeker Or rather, it's finding the path to the right libs in the system - now I'm wondering about the TCL/TK code itself and whether there isn't some convention in there somewhere that's Windows specific
05:17.46 yukonbob I'm not following re: "convention" -- Windows-specific convention for what?
06:23.26 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r30228 10/brlcad/trunk/src/conv/cy-g.c:
06:23.26 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: refactor and simplify. make the header scanning case insensitive. refering to
06:23.26 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: a reference implementation, annotate which header lines are required and which
06:23.26 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: are optional. add checks for FILLED, SMOOTHED, INSIDE_OUT, and THETA_RIGHTHAND.

07:45.45 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: read in the data files into an in-memory buffer before processing. this limits
07:45.45 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: processing to models that will fit in memory, but does make things a whole lot
07:45.45 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: easier for processing the dataset later for things like generating a mesh. also
07:45.45 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: added a check for VOIDVAL's, but just continuing is probably the wrong thing to
07:45.47 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: do.

10:00.16 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: heh, and I just ran into that same bug myself.. Bob fixed a bug in g-dxf where
10:00.16 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: it was using bu_optind as the argv[] index incorrectly. this would cause an env
10:00.16 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: var to get set for the main object name (at least on Mac OS X) giving something
10:00.16 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: like TERM_PROGRAM=Apple_Terminal as the object name instead of what was
10:00.17 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: specified on the command line.. resulting in something rather unexpected of
10:00.19 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: course.
