01:46.57 brlcad que dia!
01:47.14 brlcad begins packing..
01:50.28 starseeker has stuffed an amazing number of close into a tiny space, but still must hope for a convenient laundry...
01:50.48 starseeker er, clothes even
01:51.01 brlcad those could be useful to have with :)

02:20.15 ``Erik bastages didn't manage a release? O.o
02:53.10 starseeker too many other things sucking up time
03:58.37 talcite <PROTECTED>
03:58.37 talcite libtool: install: error: cannot install `libstepcore.la' to a directory not ending in /home/matthew/Download/temp/lib
03:58.44 talcite those are funky errors =S
03:58.53 talcite is this because I've decided to use prefix?
04:18.02 brlcad ``Erik: there's still time!
04:19.05 brlcad talcite: that looks like an unclean build where configured and built once with one prefix, then again with a different one
04:19.30 brlcad make distclean && sh autogen.sh && ./configure --your-flags-here... && make
04:20.26 brlcad in that error, looks like prefix is presently "/home/matthew/Download/temp/opt/brlcad" but at some point was "/home/matthew/Download/temp"

05:05.47 mike111 is there a tool to convert .g or iges to step?
05:11.36 brlcad g-iges?
05:11.43 brlcad g-step isn't ready
05:11.58 *** join/#brlcad LarsG (n=lars@spnp207089.spnp.nus.edu.sg)
05:11.59 mike111 as I understand, g-iges convert .g to IGES
05:12.16 mike111 I need to convert to STEP

05:13.03 mike111 the mesh generator crashes when I load the an IGES
05:16.07 brlcad you understand correctly, contrary to the confusingly named "g-iges" command name ;)
05:16.42 brlcad what mesh generator?
05:16.48 mike111 g-iges might have some hidden option, so I'm being cautious.
05:16.51 mike111 Gmsh
05:17.06 brlcad sounds like a bug in gmsh
05:17.16 brlcad could try one of the other exporters
05:17.20 brlcad there are a variety
05:17.27 brlcad look at the g-* commands
05:17.31 mike111 it accepts STL, IGES and STEP
05:17.46 mike111 but it doesn't re-mesh STL
05:18.48 brlcad doesn't remesh stl, doesn't properly parse iges, .. what makes you think step would work? :)
05:19.16 mike111 gmsh users are able to mesh STEP models
05:19.32 mike111 the developers advised against working with IGES
05:19.36 brlcad *whoosh*
05:19.39 brlcad it was a joke
05:20.20 brlcad well then you're kinda stuck without involving another tool
05:20.55 mike111 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.cad.gmsh.general/431
05:27.14 brlcad yeah, that sounds a bit like a cop-out
05:27.22 brlcad it can/should work, but obviously doesn't
05:28.08 mike111 seems like IGES has lots of versions which make exchanging files difficult
05:28.40 brlcad the differences are pretty minor
05:29.30 brlcad like saying there are lots of versions of gcc which make compiling files difficult
05:29.52 brlcad you either support them or you don't, they're detectable revisions
05:30.03 mike111 as test I generated a sphere in mged and converted it to iges. Gmsh only loaded the variant generated with g-iges -f switch
05:30.18 mike111 but it didn't work for more complex geometries
05:31.01 brlcad the -f option facetizes it for you
05:31.07 brlcad i.e. turns it into a mesh
05:31.44 brlcad i.e., a brep polygonal mesh, not a brep spline surface
05:32.27 mike111 only worked with the sphere model
05:33.57 brlcad doesn't really matter, not what you want
06:34.55 talcite hey brlcad, you're still awake?

23:10.51 talcite the libtool entry in the NIST STEP library is driving me nuts
23:11.20 talcite It refuses to install in anything that's not the root directory
23:12.20 talcite I'm trying fakeroot and make DESTDIR install, but it's not working out.
23:12.44 talcite the pastebin is here: http://fpaste.org/paste/20546
23:12.50 talcite does anyone know what's going on?
