00:42.24 starseeker hs extremely evil though - if GM is forced to declare bankruptcy, what happens to their CAD system?
00:43.44 starseeker 'course, if it's anything like their cars it may not matter much...
00:44.09 Ralith perhaps a donation-funded organization representing the oss CAD community could purchase the IP :D
00:45.25 ``Erik if gm goes 11, their assets are auctioned and someone buys the chunk that owns the cad IP
00:46.10 starseeker bids $20
00:46.48 ``Erik FI DORRA!
00:53.57 Ralith we could pull a blender
01:56.13 brlcad not likely, their CAD system is worth a whole lot more (by a couple orders) than blender was before open source
01:57.44 brlcad either way, not bloody likely anything would happen to it other than getting retained as someone else's IP

02:06.23 rbfish2k hi
02:06.31 rbfish2k i am compiling brlcad in cygwin
02:06.34 rbfish2k but i got the error:
02:06.40 rbfish2k In file included from /home/ken/rbfish2k/brlcad/brlcad/trunk/src/other/tk/unix/../generic/tkButton.c:19:
02:06.41 rbfish2k /home/ken/rbfish2k/brlcad/brlcad/trunk/src/other/tk/unix/../generic/default.h:21:29: tkWinDefault.h: No such file or directory
02:06.49 rbfish2k anyone can help me out?
02:11.46 CIA-28 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r34313 10/brlcad/trunk/src/mged/ (cmd.h setup.c): doesn't seem to be any need for mged_cmdtab to be non-static any longer.
02:13.19 brlcad rbfish2k: yeah, you need to modify the header search paths (CPPFLAGS) to include -Isrc/other/tk/win
02:14.47 brlcad what's peculiar is that should already be happening
02:15.16 rbfish2k i should first do something like "export CPPFLAGS=-Isrc/other/tk/win"?
02:15.55 brlcad no
02:16.33 brlcad try this first: grep TK_CPPFLAGS src/other/Makefile
02:18.26 rbfish2k now it is "TK_CPPFLAGS = -I${top_srcdir}/src/other/tk/generic -I${top_srcdir}/src/other/tk/unix -I${top_srcdir}/src/other/tk/win".
02:18.28 rbfish2k correct?
02:18.32 brlcad yes
02:18.45 brlcad so it's just not using that TK_CPPFLAGS in the tk build
02:19.03 brlcad try: cd src/other/tk
02:19.55 brlcad grep top_srcdir Makefile
02:19.55 brlcad what's that give?
02:20.12 brlcad (the first one)
02:20.26 brlcad probably ../../.. ?
02:20.39 rbfish2k yes, you are right.
02:21.24 rbfish2k how can i fix the problem?
02:21.25 brlcad if so, run this after the cd: CPPFLAGS="-I../../../src/other/tk/generic -I../../../src/other/tk/win -I../../../src/other/tk/unix" make
02:21.58 rbfish2k thanks. let me try.
02:22.12 PrezKennedyII brlcad, what are you doing here on a Friday night??
02:22.14 brlcad the only way to fix the problem is to get that -I../../../src/other/tk/win passed into the build
02:22.16 rbfish2k but it takes me some time to complete "configure".
02:22.25 brlcad PrezKennedyII: same thing I do every friday night!
02:22.33 brlcad try to take over the world!
02:22.48 brlcad rbfish2k: I didn't say run configure did I?
02:22.58 brlcad I gave you the exact command....
02:23.08 rbfish2k but the make is doing it automatically
02:23.15 rbfish2k after i ran "svn up"
02:23.18 brlcad bah
02:23.22 brlcad then all bets are off :)
02:23.41 brlcad not my fault you did that :P
02:23.57 rbfish2k it is fine. it will take me about 8 minutes.
02:24.01 brlcad ouch
02:24.06 rbfish2k my computer is not so fast.
02:24.34 PrezKennedyII brlcad, has anyone tried running it on Windows 7 yet?
02:24.47 brlcad don't know
02:24.51 brlcad not I
02:25.45 brlcad rbfish2k: if that doesn't work -- retry configure with --with-cppflags="-I/absolute/path/to/brlcad/src/other/tk/win"
02:26.29 rbfish2k make failed even after i ran "export CPPFLAGS="-I../../../src/other/tk/generic -I../../../src/other/tk/win -I../../../src/other/tk/unix""
02:26.36 rbfish2k let me re-configure it
02:26.38 brlcad didn't say export :P
02:26.45 brlcad that was a one-liner
02:27.11 brlcad if that didn't work, you swap CPPFLAGS after 'make' but still one-liner
02:27.38 brlcad and it's not just a blind try, you're looking to see it put that -I onto the compile
02:27.46 brlcad if you don't see it do that, of course it won't work
02:28.13 rbfish2k i understand.
02:28.19 rbfish2k it looks better now.
02:28.21 brlcad if you have to, you can manually run the build command within src/other/tk/unix/ and add the -I yourself
02:28.31 brlcad via copy-paste
02:28.41 PrezKennedyII brlcad, that would be a negatory
02:30.40 rbfish2k make is complaining "/bin/sh: /home/ken/rbfish2k/brlcad/brlcad/trunk/src/other/tcl/unix/tclsh85.exe: No such file or directory"
02:31.31 rbfish2k and
02:31.35 rbfish2k jove_main.c:640: error: storage size of 'tty' isn't known
02:31.38 rbfish2k jove_main.c:653: error: `TIOCSETN' undeclared (first use in this function)
02:47.30 starseeker brlcad: true, someone would buy the GM CAD system. Although, given how much $$ the American public (via their elected officials) have sunk into GM, if it does go belly up perhaps the public could enter a collective claim on the CAD part ;-)
02:47.55 starseeker after all, that's one asset every US citizen could get a copy of (in theory) :-P

14:56.55 brlcad yawns
15:08.54 starseeker chuckles - the g-dxf succeeded on the tire, but left out the tread
15:11.17 brlcad cool
15:11.28 brlcad maybe you can get the tread to convert by itsel
15:12.04 poolio mornin' all
15:12.46 starseeker hmm
15:12.48 starseeker tries that
15:14.47 starseeker db_walk_subtree() FAIL on '/tread-215-55R17.c/tread_master-215-55R17.c/extrude2-7-215-55R17'
15:29.15 brlcad exists?
15:34.57 starseeker seems to
15:35.55 starseeker all the individual components do, and extrude2-7-215-55R17 shows up in tread_master-215-55R17.c
15:36.28 starseeker I can e up both tread_master and tread without trouble in mged
16:02.05 ``Erik if I can clone a stairmaster instance, does that mean I dont' have to do the exercise myself?
16:19.39 starseeker wow - even without the tread (and with a very course tesselation) the file size of the tesselated .g is 10x that of the the CSG
16:26.19 ``Erik that's it?
16:27.18 ``Erik I mean, a sphere is what, 4 floats, 16 bytes... a tesselated sphere in any unsuck representation is at LEAST say 20 faces, so a lot more flaots... :D morethan 10x
16:27.38 ``Erik and an isocohedron is an awfully crude sphere
16:30.43 starseeker oh, this looks pretty sucky
16:30.49 starseeker raytraces...

16:43.22 starseeker http://bzflag.bz/~starseeker/tire_tesselation_attempt.png
16:43.54 starseeker actually that's only the inner surface, so that size estimate is probably low by ~2x, even leaving out the tread
16:59.45 bjorkintosh it's a video game, but i think this looks pretty damned cool! http://pjotr.stacken.kth.se/love/tool_demo_gdc_2009.mp4
17:12.51 brlcad starseeker: note that with g-dxf, it's going to make nmgs .. i.e polygons, not just triangles

21:48.47 elena yawns, too
21:49.10 elena hi brlcad, sorry I mised you.
21:58.25 ``Erik *readreadread* so 'MoRe' has a lot of dependancy on the uploader adding correct information? do you envision .g file construction/deconstruction (say to abstract out common objects)?
21:59.25 ``Erik will there be any kind of notion of 'karma' or 'rating' in the system?
21:59.42 ``Erik <-- is just thinking noisily and half playing devils advocate, btw
22:06.06 elena rating - maybe.
22:06.20 elena but i'd tend to do it for models
22:06.29 elena not for users
22:06.48 elena what do you mean by correct information?
22:08.14 elena do you think karma for users would be helpfull? I don't see it as a big feature
22:08.26 elena but maybe I'm wrong.
22:09.21 elena we could have the user rating as an average of the ratings of the user's models
