19:41.13 elena brlcad or starseeker, are you here?
19:42.32 elena ``Erik?
19:47.15 ``Erik hrm?
19:47.35 elena hi. do you have 1 min?
19:47.49 ``Erik <-- sets a countdown timer to 60 seconds
19:47.50 ``Erik :D
19:48.01 ``Erik I have several minutes, actually
19:48.06 elena do you have an account on brlcad.org?
19:48.14 ``Erik ja
19:48.22 ``Erik is it not responding?
19:48.23 elena i only need 1 for now. i'll take the rest later :)
19:48.30 elena it's responding.
19:48.45 elena I was just wondering if brlcad is installed on it?
19:48.52 elena i can't seem to find it.
19:49.21 ``Erik doesn't seem so
19:50.12 ``Erik hrm, the ports directory is blasted and the os is ancient, how much of BRL-CAD do you need? just rt?
19:50.14 elena i'll try to install it in my home dir then.
19:50.30 elena mged and rt.
19:50.41 elena pix-png and dependencies, too.
19:51.02 ``Erik hrm, ok, I'll co the last stable and see if I can insatll it to /usr/brlcad/
19:51.33 ``Erik actually, I'll just grab current
19:51.34 elena thank you.
19:52.08 elena i wanted to install the latest tbz
19:52.30 ``Erik (need to get migrated to the new machine, the lack of space and lack of updates are starting to hurt)
19:52.31 elena i just reading about it. i never installed anything on freebsd before.
19:53.00 ``Erik um, when we were running out of hard drive space, I removed the src and ports directories... assuming migration would happen "real soon now"
19:53.30 ``Erik so installing or updating anything would be very manual and likely break stuff :(
19:53.50 ``Erik have you tried using the new machine?
19:54.19 ``Erik guessing not as you don't have an account there :)
19:54.48 elena i didn't.
19:58.29 ``Erik bah, stupid docbook crap
19:58.49 elena hei, don't worry about it.
19:59.08 ``Erik it's going, it's just taking a long time to co
19:59.17 elena i don't want to eat up your time. i'll try to get it done myself.
19:59.31 ``Erik meh, I'm just watching a crappy movie on tv anyways
19:59.58 elena i switched it off. it was a stupid movie, too, but it kept distracting me.
20:01.46 ``Erik "spiderman 2.1" here
20:02.02 elena 2.1?
20:02.14 ``Erik that's what the tvguide says
20:02.22 elena I got the 7.10 in my home dir if you want.
20:02.27 elena we could us that.
20:02.36 ``Erik ah, extended verson of spiderman 2
20:02.56 elena oh. I could be spiderman 3 alpha release :)
20:03.03 ``Erik http://dvd.ign.com/articles/772/772560p1.html
20:03.10 ``Erik autoreconf is running now
20:03.19 elena are you in us?
20:03.45 ``Erik yes, near baltimore... work in the same office as brlcad, starseeker, indianlarry, etc...
20:04.27 elena how did you spent yesterday?
20:04.31 elena any party?
20:05.12 ``Erik sat around, watched tv, coded a little, drank a 'brown cow' and went to sleep O.o no partying or celebration, though I did watch the fireworks briefly
20:06.00 elena not too tired then :)
20:06.27 ``Erik heh, no, less tired that most days :)
20:06.57 elena good. some rest is nice.
20:13.57 ``Erik configure running now

20:44.32 elena did it finish?
20:45.55 ``Erik still in the src/other dir
20:46.39 ``Erik it's not a terribly fast machine, overloaded with poorly written SQL and php smashing all over, plus a couple far overburdened irssi processes, and I nice'd the build.. it'll take a while :)
20:47.28 ``Erik interrupts and starts compiling the minimal set

20:55.37 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: 03Ebautu 07http://brlcad.org * r1534 10/wiki/More_Changelog: July 5 activities
20:55.56 elena it could benefit from a php optimizer
20:58.36 ``Erik the machine? it'd benefit from some analysis of the sql statement, saved prepared statements, moving away from php to optimized compiled modules for heavy lifting, and people moving from irssi to bx O.o O:-)
20:59.16 ``Erik has been looking at using optimized common lisp as an application server for web stuff
21:00.05 elena then it would be too fast :)
21:01.01 ``Erik heh, no such thing :) but it's definitely much more pleasant to work in than php... and I couldn't even imagine doing cgi and shtml/ssi anymore
21:01.56 ``Erik (for some reason, I'd gotten myself under the impression that 'more' was a python beastie like on django or something at some point, was surprised to see the drupal stuff there... musta confused myself at some point)
21:05.26 elena i didn't learn python (yet) :(
21:07.02 ``Erik I'm in the process, but only due to panda3d
21:07.46 ``Erik <-- wrote an exporter to generate the panda3d format from BRL-CAD geometry this morning O.o BRL-CAD work on a weekend, I must be going insane
21:08.09 elena :D
21:23.18 ``Erik 24 degrees, nice breeze... if it weren't for noisy children with noisy toys, this'd be a great day to sit out in the grass :/
21:47.50 ``Erik rt is installed
21:48.03 elena thank you.
21:48.25 ``Erik still working on mged
22:06.24 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: 03erikgreenwald * r34973 10/brlcad/trunk/src/conv/Makefile.am: add libgcv to dependancy list
22:07.46 ``Erik mged is installed
22:15.36 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: 03erikgreenwald * r34974 10/brlcad/trunk/src/util/Makefile.am: add libpc to dependancy list
22:17.20 ``Erik hrm, pix-png is installed, I THINK it'll work, but I'm not sure... can't compile libpc, so can't install the entire util dir
22:18.30 elena it complains about libtcl8.5.so
22:18.37 elena mged, too.
22:19.29 ``Erik export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/brlcad/lib
22:20.01 elena :)
22:20.34 ``Erik (not sure if I messed something up or if it's just a facet of that OS and how it deals with rpaths)
22:21.09 ``Erik was outdated in 2004... O.o
22:55.11 *** join/#brlcad alecs1 (i=alex@193.170.134.154)
23:01.10 Ralith why does BRL-CAD like to live in its own dir, anyway?
23:01.45 ``Erik file name conficts, mostly
23:02.11 Ralith ah.
23:02.17 ``Erik centos, for example, has /usr/lib/librt.so
23:02.27 Ralith yeah, that came to mind
23:02.54 Ralith every time I build g3d I get a warning wrt. that
23:03.00 ``Erik http://pastebin.bzflag.bz/d8629591
23:03.20 ``Erik I think libbn.so exists in some old crypto package
23:03.46 ``Erik and then there's the whole tcl/tk/incrtcl/tkimg mess
23:04.07 Ralith other packages have taken the approach of naming things like libbrlcad-rt.so
23:04.10 ``Erik (which really needs to be fixed)
23:04.22 Ralith and yeah, the tk situation is addressable
23:04.24 ``Erik what other packages?
23:04.42 Ralith uh
23:04.45 Ralith at least, I think some have
23:04.48 Ralith none come to mind right away
23:05.01 ``Erik *shrug*
23:05.12 Ralith Ogre takes the approach of sticking a subdir in $PREFIX/lib/
23:05.16 Ralith not to resolve conflicts, though
23:05.37 Ralith probably just because the lib names were already getting too long
23:05.57 ``Erik throw in that it comes from the classic unix days where non-trivial suites took their own directory (/opt/motif /opt/oracle ...), and then all these other programs popped up stealing our names, *shrug* why bother changing it?
23:06.20 Ralith isn't advocating changing it, just observing a few different solutions.
23:06.36 ``Erik one of my old projects has its own $PREFIX/lib/$PACKAGE/ dir, but that was more to keep things together as it does bunches of dlopen/dlsym evilness
23:07.24 ``Erik (pluggable frontends and backing stores, each lib implements the same function names, a tiny shell picks which one to use and wires it in)
23:07.40 ``Erik cuz I thought I was badass in '99 or '00 O:-)
23:07.49 Ralith hehe
23:07.54 Ralith excessive dynamicness is underrated
23:08.02 Ralith it's one of the things I love about lisp.
23:08.10 ``Erik well, it allowed me to do some crazy shit very very quickly
23:08.18 Ralith like what?
23:08.45 ``Erik how many people do you know writing full MUA's with gtk, gnome, and curses interfaces and able to store in mysql, postgresql, mdir, mspool, ...
23:09.15 ``Erik and then make a dozen tiny utilities in just a dozen or two lines without touching existing installed code while it chunks along
23:09.18 alecs1 hi, where's a good place to post some questions about the relation between models and the production line?
23:09.34 ``Erik what do you mean by "production line"?
23:09.42 Ralith ``Erik: Sounds like fun. gtk and gnome were different interfaces?
23:10.11 alecs1 I'm specifically interested in the way bonnets and complex shapes are manufactured
23:10.17 ``Erik ralith: yes, gtk first, then gnome as I learned it (gnome was very much in flux at the time... um, this was around 0.10 to 0.30)
23:10.31 Ralith er, what's the difference?
23:10.36 alecs1 and if there's some sculpting process of creating a "press" automatically from the CAD model
23:10.42 Ralith isn't gnome just a DE that uses gtk?
23:11.17 alecs1 because of non-native english I don't really find results on google
23:12.04 ``Erik alecs1: I'd imagine most are stamped into shape, and if you have gcode or something, you might be able to use a CNC mill or something to generate the mold/stamp? *shrug* BRL-CAD isn't terribly tied to CAM stuff, we're more in the CAE area
23:12.31 Ralith for the time being, anyway.
23:12.35 ``Erik ralith: yeah, but funky wrappers and stuff to generate code... like the menu is a metalanguage that goes through a parser instead of building by hand gtk style
23:12.43 Ralith ah.
23:12.56 ``Erik instead of making a window and putting stuff in it, you define a "GNOME_app" or something
23:13.59 Ralith sounds very elaborate
23:14.00 ``Erik (kinda like how OGRE sits ontop of opengl, I guess?)
23:14.44 Ralith ogre's is probably a much deeper abstraction.
23:14.54 Ralith given that it can sit on top of DirectX just as happily
23:15.06 alecs1 thanks, could you tell me some more key-words for finding the machines that press the sheet metal to make the external body parts?
23:18.27 ``Erik rm, "brake" "press" "panel beating" mebbe a question like "how are car panels made"
23:31.11 alecs1 thank you, I think I found enough material :)
