00:04.24 DavidChipman Erik, you've still got gnome1 on your system?
00:05.13 DavidChipman BTW all, thanks for your help.. Now to figure out while things weren't found earlier..
00:05.36 DavidChipman I really wouuld rather use the system installs for things..
00:05.54 DavidChipman Is ther a reason we're using such a new TCL/TK version?
00:07.14 DavidChipman bbl
00:10.28 brlcad DavidChipman: much longer talk, but yeah there were a variety of reasons for bundling a newer version -- the fact that you can link against 8.4 was a bit of back-porting so that either would work

01:12.08 brlcad it found it, determined the version, and refused to *use* it
01:12.25 DavidChipman What brlcad?
01:12.35 brlcad 19:55 < DavidChipman> brlcad, What do you mean I could link against 8.4? It refused to find it!

06:52.52 starseeker brlcad: BTY, it looks like the changes to the make command for arbs were intentional - we should probably add a NEWS item about that so it's at least announced

15:33.08 troels hello there
15:33.25 troels Can I pose a quick question about brl-cad?
15:36.41 elite01 don't ask to ask, just ask
15:36.52 elite01 although i probably can't answer it, someone else will
15:39.11 troels very well.. I was wondering how the autocad DXF export is implemented? Do you use licensed libs from autodesk, or have you implemented something yourself?
15:40.28 troels Thing is, I am looking for an open-source library to read/write autocad DXF files, if such a thing exists.
16:03.08 ``Erik our own special stuff, for a subset of dxf type things. it's in src/conv/g-dxf.c
16:03.47 ``Erik sorry, src/conv/dxf/g-dxf.c
16:05.16 ``Erik (only does triangle meshes)
16:16.09 troels what's the license? Is it ok to use for commercial application?

16:29.03 ``Erik blah
16:29.45 ``Erik the license is LGPL
16:31.00 ``Erik if you mean closed source instead of commercial, you'd have to go through some hoops to comply with the license (changing the code designed to create an executable into one making a library, and making that library's source available, or providing object files for 'all the other stuff', so the g-dxf.c can be recompiled and everything relinked)
16:31.11 ``Erik uh, gnu.org would have a good description of the constraints
16:31.28 *** join/#brlcad samrose (n=samrose@c-24-11-214-181.hsd1.mi.comcast.net)
16:32.42 troels ok. Thats great. I think that would be the strategy anyway, as it is supposed to serve a program in an interpreted language anyway.

17:12.25 brlcad turning any of our libs into a converter would be a good thing
17:12.37 brlcad need to sort out a callback api at some point
17:12.58 brlcad so they can be migrated into plugin-libs for libgcv
