02:31.47 starseeker brlcad: How do we want to handle man1 man pages that come from src/other? I presume those shouldn't be docbooked?
03:11.35 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r32701 10/brlcad/trunk/src/util/alias-pix.1: formatting tweaks
03:14.12 starseeker brlcad: chan_mult looks like it should really be two man files - it's got multiple name lines, which doclifter doesn't care for
03:16.03 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r32702 10/brlcad/trunk/src/conv/dxf-g.1: Doesn't look as if there should be a period before ATTRIB
03:17.16 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r32703 10/brlcad/trunk/src/fb/fbframe.1: Add space between RB and [
03:26.19 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r32705 10/brlcad/trunk/src/mk/mk_bolt.1: Looks like a stray .g at beginning of line was resulting in conversion error in doclifter and an undisplayed line in man.
03:32.04 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r32706 10/brlcad/trunk/src/fb/pixautosize.1: looks like .fr was supposed to be .ft based on similar example further down page.
03:34.15 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r32707 10/brlcad/trunk/src/util/pixcut.1: pp should be PP - up-case command
03:37.55 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r32708 10/brlcad/trunk/src/util/pixdsplit.1: .\% giving uninterpreted command error and doesn't seem to impact rendering in man - removing.
03:41.32 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r32709 10/brlcad/trunk/src/util/pix-sun.1: formatting tweaks
03:43.37 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r32711 10/brlcad/trunk/src/rt/rtscale.1: filename isn't a command - needs a command before it
03:48.10 brlcad starseeker: yep, minimal or no effort in src/other
03:48.47 brlcad take any liberties necessary (chan_mult, etc), the docs are fair game for overhaulage
03:49.15 starseeker righto, thanks :-)
03:49.58 starseeker Looks like I'm down to five that can't be autolifted
03:50.51 starseeker brlcad: How do you want to approach this - should it be an "all at once" swoop or can I make "most" of them install from docbook and pick up the rest?
03:51.46 brlcad commit early
03:51.48 brlcad commit often
03:51.50 brlcad code complete
03:53.51 starseeker code complete?
03:54.27 brlcad i.e. work piecewise but don't leave it half-done
03:54.46 starseeker right
03:54.56 brlcad coding complete is the practice of working on a task and leaving things in a functional state after every step
03:55.06 brlcad even if it results in (seemingly) more work
03:55.10 starseeker Ah :-)
03:55.22 starseeker fortunately, in this case it isn't more work :-)
03:55.55 brlcad it rarely ever is *actually* more work over the lifetime of the effort to all developers that have a vested interest
03:57.49 brlcad starseeker: there's more info about coding complete on the wiki in the gsoc pages
03:58.03 brlcad as it was one of their "acceptance criteria"
03:58.08 brlcad digs
03:58.55 starseeker http://brlcad.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Acceptance#Write_complete_code
03:58.56 brlcad http://brlcad.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Acceptance
03:59.25 brlcad the last three are particularly relevant to any developer
04:00.54 starseeker nods - well written
04:14.25 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r32712 10/brlcad/trunk/TODO: mged seems to be behaving much better now. still needs more work, but better is better.
04:16.06 *** join/#brlcad thing0 (n=ric@124-169-182-238.dyn.iinet.net.au)
04:16.18 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r32713 10/brlcad/trunk/TODO: there's no need to revert the nmg processing back out of librt into a generic library, at least not before the next release. push it down.

04:31.47 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r32714 10/brlcad/trunk/configure.ac: Adding initial support for enabling/disabling docbook building - doesn't impact anything yet but the logic should be in place.
04:43.25 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r32715 10/brlcad/trunk/configure.ac: remove duplicate
05:49.09 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r32716 10/brlcad/trunk/ (7 files in 4 dirs):
05:49.09 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: Initial framework for docbook based building and installation of man pages.
05:49.09 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: Currently builds both html and man page; for the moment it installs the html
05:49.09 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: version in the data directory, subdirectory html/man1 Only two test files are
05:49.10 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: present at the moment, and their original man page ancestors are not yet removed
05:49.12 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: - this will come once testing of new arrangement is complete.

19:35.18 iraytrace Anyone built a 64bit version on Leopard?
20:08.18 brlcad iraytrace: i helped parker get a build on friday
20:09.01 iraytrace Any trick to it?
20:09.18 brlcad it fails finding tk because it doesn't build tk; it doesn't build tk because it can't find libXi (or more exactly all of X11); it fails to find X11 because it's no longer /usr/X11R6
20:09.20 iraytrace I just did a checkout and configure still can't doi it.
20:09.23 brlcad so you have to tell configure where X is
20:10.05 brlcad try --with-x=/usr/X11
20:10.22 brlcad otherwise have to add /usr/X11/lib and /usr/X11/include to the paths
20:10.38 brlcad --with-x should do that for you (untested)
20:10.57 iraytrace Hmm. I have a /usr/X11R6 on my machine (installed the Apple X first)
20:11.09 iraytrace I got a comfigure, but not a compile.
20:11.13 brlcad it's not complete
20:11.21 iraytrace ./configure CFLAGS=-m64 CXXFLAGS=-m64 --enable-everything --enable-64bit-build
20:11.24 brlcad there's just a few libs that are there for compatibility
20:11.44 brlcad 10.5 bumped it up to X11R7
20:11.54 brlcad so it's now just /usr/X11
20:13.09 iraytrace I also installed Xquartz
20:13.30 iraytrace Seems to be a different problem that we saw on friday.
20:13.42 brlcad what's the problem?
20:14.11 iraytrace first, --enable-64bit-build doesn't set -m64
20:14.22 brlcad custom-installed X11 is uncharted territory, little chance that would work with default configure options to say the least
20:14.38 iraytrace define "custom"
20:14.45 brlcad yeah, that's a known issue -- even when it does set it, you still have to set the FLAGS
20:15.11 brlcad because of how the libtool script gets generated before configure completes
20:15.37 brlcad it'll end up compiling 32-bit and there's not a good way to force it (that I've found so far) without setting the flags directly
20:15.44 brlcad at least not for all platforms
20:15.46 iraytrace I haven't seen any X11R7 dir. All the systems I've seen (install Leopard, install Xquartz) have X11R6
20:15.59 brlcad it's not an R7 dir, it's just /usr/X11
20:16.17 iraytrace X11R6 is a sym-link to X11
20:16.56 brlcad ah, right
20:17.45 iraytrace When I build I get down to "pngtcl" and get an error: ld: in /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib, missing required architecture x86_64 in file
20:17.57 iraytrace Odd, since I didn't know we were using freetype
20:18.02 brlcad tk uses it
20:18.07 brlcad optionally
20:18.11 iraytrace at least not the system one during --enable-everything
20:18.44 brlcad quick fix is to turn that off, sounds like it's finding a freetype you installed
20:19.01 brlcad a non-64-bit install
20:20.20 brlcad try adding --disable-xft to configure
20:20.39 brlcad make sure it gets passed to tk's sub-configure
20:21.48 iraytrace I renamed freetype.dylib and am making progress now.
20:51.20 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r32721 10/brlcad/trunk/regress/ (Makefile.am fastgen.sh fastgen_dos.fast4):
20:51.20 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: add a new test script to exercise the fast4-g converter. the test writes out a
20:51.20 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: simple box in fastgen format with unix line termination and with dos line
20:51.20 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: termination, makes sure both can be converted to a .g, and that the two .g's
20:51.20 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: have no differences via a g_diff test.
21:42.07 iraytrace brlcad: thanks. I've got it running now in 64bit mode.
