20:50.14 brlcad meh, I can't make you do anything, but the pictures are really getting old and annoying because they are useless and uninteresting
20:50.39 IriX64 is that everybody's feelings
20:51.16 brlcad why do you think there have been a half-dozen people try to get you to do something productive?

22:39.21 DavidChipman Hi there..
22:40.09 DavidChipman I'm having trouble building BRL-CAD on Ubuntu 8.10
22:40.25 madant what trouble ?
22:41.18 DavidChipman The configure script can't find TCL, or TK, and BRL-cad can't build them either.
22:41.22 madant most common issue is not using --enable-all while configuring :)
22:41.31 madant use --enable-all and try
22:42.12 DavidChipman OK.... running configure right now. It's gonna take a while
22:42.21 brlcad BRL-CAD "can't build them either" means what?
22:42.50 DavidChipman It tries to look for a file called tk.h, aand doesn't find it.
22:43.11 DavidChipman I'll post the errors (somwhere?)
22:43.13 brlcad during what stage of the build?
22:43.16 brlcad ~bzpaste
22:43.26 brlcad hrmph
22:43.38 brlcad pastebin.bzflag.bz will work
22:43.44 DavidChipman I'm almost finished configure. I'll let you know.
22:43.55 DavidChipman OK..
22:45.52 brlcad all of BRL-CAD's external dependencies are bundled in so configure has three modes of working -- 1) build all of the dependencies ourselves and don't use any system-installed versions, 2) don't build any of them and only use system-installed versions, or 3) automatically detect available system-installed versions and use the ones we find and build the rest
22:46.00 DavidChipman Building now. I'm collecting stderr in brlcad.err
22:46.25 brlcad a unified log would probably be more useful :)
22:46.36 DavidChipman Well, the configure doesn't detect my tcl/TK 8.4 install
22:46.41 brlcad since it'll have what directory it traversed into, what files were compiled, etc
22:46.54 brlcad there's probably a reason for that
22:47.29 DavidChipman OK. (stupid question?): How do I do that?
22:47.32 brlcad buried deep in the various configure tests it determined it wasn't usable, probably had a big <<<<< section too ;)
22:47.46 DavidChipman The unified log you're looking for
22:47.55 brlcad make 2>&1 | tee build.log
22:48.10 brlcad (presumes a posix-style shell)
22:48.12 madant loves tee
22:48.23 DavidChipman Agh, of course...
22:48.32 DavidChipman smacks head
22:48.42 brlcad 2>&1 being the trick to unify the outputs by sending err to out
22:48.47 DavidChipman Shoud I just stop the build?
22:48.54 brlcad sure
22:48.56 brlcad it won't hurt it
22:49.03 DavidChipman make clean?
22:49.06 brlcad nah
22:49.16 brlcad it'll pick up from where you killed it cleanly
22:50.02 DavidChipman True enough, it's runing again, with the build log set up.
22:50.43 DavidChipman It also didn't find Itcl (but I don't thin that's installed anyhow)
22:51.02 brlcad that would probably be why it couldn't use your tcl/tk
22:51.04 DavidChipman Just out of interest, what is TCL/TK used for?
22:51.44 DavidChipman Huh? They aren't either/or then?
22:51.54 brlcad if you didn't have itcl, it would have had to use the one we provide -- the one we provide is the latest and requires 8.5 tcl/tk
22:52.26 DavidChipman Agh <spews profanity>.
22:52.39 brlcad so you either had to install an itcl that works with 8.4, or let ours build (which is what it's doing now)
22:53.00 DavidChipman Thanks..
22:53.09 DavidChipman I think.. ;)
22:53.16 brlcad which should have happened by default either way
22:53.23 brlcad if you ran into a build failure, that's something else
22:53.55 DavidChipman Huh? I'm now goign to try and get itcl installed
22:54.14 brlcad that incompatibility was mentioned via a big <<<<< section in the configure output
22:54.45 brlcad you shouldn't need to, at least it shouldn't matter
22:54.51 DavidChipman OK, I'm installing OTCl now..
22:54.57 brlcad brl-cad will compile and install isolated into /usr/brlcad anyways
22:54.59 DavidChipman (ITCL, I mean)
22:55.23 brlcad has to also include the itcl headers
22:56.28 DavidChipman Well, I;'m now the proud owner of an ictl 3 installation ;) including itcl3-dev. I thought of that. Don't worry. Not that "thiick"
22:57.43 DavidChipman It's building opennurbs right now..
22:57.58 brlcad btw, the only one we can generally guarantee is the enable-all option since we can fully control it -- mixtures of system and non-system components are rather finicky
22:58.04 brlcad wow, that's a slow box
22:58.42 DavidChipman Pentium D, 2.26 GHz...
22:59.10 brlcad after it finishes opennurbs, it'll be about 25% done
22:59.29 DavidChipman Thankks for the progess report
22:59.38 madant maybe make -j4
23:00.02 brlcad yeah, utilize all your cpu's if it's an smp
23:00.15 DavidChipman Start make *over again*?
23:00.26 DavidChipman bursts into tears
23:00.31 DavidChipman LOL
23:00.43 madant don't worry it will pickup from where you left it :D
23:00.59 DavidChipman I know, but.. agh....
23:01.10 IriX64 there's usually a trail of bread crumbs :)
23:02.47 DavidChipman I'm not sure I understand, IriX64
23:03.20 DavidChipman Building with -j4 option
23:03.58 IriX64 has a dual core, both are utilized
23:04.02 DavidChipman Going faster now....

23:14.49 brlcad if you want it to use your system libs, you would have to start over with a make clean, otherwise it's going the --enable-all route
23:15.45 brlcad which frankly, I think you should just use --enable-all and let it build everything .. if that works, make it through the tutorials with your sanity intact, then can reinstall more leanly
23:17.58 yukonbob brlcad: does the --enable-all install -everything- under PREFIX, or similar?
23:18.05 brlcad yep
23:18.23 yukonbob ie: all binaries and required libs.
23:18.58 yukonbob gets off his high horse and prepares a --enable-all installation...
23:29.00 ``Erik wait, I thought the manuals were there to induce the minimal amount of insanity required to use the software? O.o
23:29.41 ``Erik wiki update notifications... neat, but ugly colors, and what happens when the spam bots find it? :D
23:31.02 brlcad there have been no spams to the boards since they went live with the captcha checks and blacklists
23:33.05 ``Erik cool, but I'm imagining the spammers are constantly looking for ways to subvert the defensive mechanisms
23:33.37 brlcad didn't you read the thing about not succumbing to speculative fears
23:33.58 brlcad even if someone does, now we'll get instant notification when it happens and can do something about it
23:34.02 ``Erik is an anti-color nazi on irc, almost ever color has a special meaning in his precious bx, so he gets confused
23:34.15 brlcad I have no color here, so dunno what you're talking about

23:34.21 ``Erik yeah, *shrug* ain't no such thing as unhackable, it's risk management, etc etc etc

23:36.37 brlcad pretty snazzy, though .. I'll have to upload that to the official extensions list for others
23:36.39 ``Erik rsync or something?
23:37.02 brlcad they will, the backups are just backups though
23:37.30 brlcad backups just take a few min to run to rsync the recent changes
