02:18.27 starseeker brlcad: I'll take a look
02:25.15 starseeker LOL - someone on CNN fixed an iphone with duct tape
02:37.00 starseeker uh
02:37.05 starseeker make[3]: Entering directory `/home/cyapp/cadtoplevel/brlcad/brlcad-distcheck/src/other/libpng'
02:37.09 starseeker make[3]: *** No rule to make target `distdir'. Stop.
02:37.15 starseeker clean checkout
02:42.32 juub Has anyone messed around with BRL-CAD in conjunction with LinuxCNC.org?
03:06.08 brlcad starseeker: k, i just updated libpng, hadn't finished the full volley of testing because of the other two dirs
03:06.43 brlcad should be able to check from 39811
03:19.38 starseeker gah - togl fails first, with distdir target not found
03:40.52 starseeker Makefile.in instead of Makefile.am doing that, if I'm not mistaken
03:50.20 louipc juub: people seem to like heekscnc in #emc
03:50.40 louipc http://code.google.com/p/heekscnc/

04:18.41 starseeker brlcad: I'm not sure what to do here. We're looking at what could be a substantial change to togl's build system
04:19.24 starseeker and I'm not sure what happens doing TEA_INIT in both tkhtml3 and togl... that may introduce some trouble on its own
04:21.32 starseeker it may seriously be a minimal change to just write our own Makefile.am files for this, since in general Tcl/Tk upstream seems quite hostile to libtool based changes
04:22.52 starseeker I know that takes us away from the "as close to vanilla upstream as technically workable" philosophy, but I'm starting to think there is no small changeset for this
04:45.07 juub louipc: thanks for the link, I'll check it out.

06:54.59 *** join/#brlcad Stattrav (~Stattrav@117.192.142.26)
08:55.50 brlcad starseeker: I think the problem is just one of traversal vs inclusion
08:57.30 brlcad it's always traversing into the dir, including for dist, and it probably should just EXTRA_DIST the dir/files if it's only got the .in file and hasn't made the Makefile yet
08:58.15 brlcad if it has made the Makefile, it might just be missing a distdir rule (iirc, it's as simple as adding "distdir: dist")

12:27.32 starseeker growls, nukes the half-done gentoo install on the Thinkpad, and sticks Ubuntu in to make sure everything is working
13:06.37 CIA-93 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r39816 10/brlcad/trunk/BUGS: mged reportedly, via andreanckaert on forums, doesn't init multipane properly.
13:25.22 *** join/#brlcad alex_joni (~alex_joni@emc/board-of-directors/alexjoni)
14:07.00 starseeker actually kinda likes this Ubuntu desktop...
14:07.24 starseeker getting soft(er) in my old age I guess
14:07.40 starseeker tracks down the dev packages needed for BRL-CAD, installs vim, and calls it good
14:13.21 CIA-93 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r39817 10/brlcad/trunk/src/other/ (tktable/Makefile.in togl/Makefile.in): Not sure if it's doing the 'right thing' but stick distdir rules into togl and tktable Makefile.in per Sean's suggestion. Does get past the initial dir pass, but not confirmed to be working.
14:34.39 starseeker definitely not right - togl and tktable dirs are empty
14:40.54 *** part/#brlcad willdye (~willdye@162.40.127.30)
14:59.12 ``Erik if they don't have the notion of 'make dist', you'll need to EXTRA_DIST all their stuff a level up, methinks
17:38.52 *** join/#brlcad PrezKennedy (Prez@96.31.84.96)
17:39.13 PrezKennedy brlcad, do you know Ada? or anyone who does know Ada?
17:58.39 *** join/#brlcad Stattrav (~Stattrav@117.192.143.77)
19:03.44 brlcad PrezKennedy: basics of it
19:05.36 CIA-93 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r39818 10/brlcad/trunk/src/libged/red.c: More robustness in the attribute grabbing regex - seems to do OK now with multi-line, and stops at Combination Tree even when there is a ' = ' style string in the comb tree definition.
19:09.34 brlcad starseeker: do you have a /tmp/togl-dist directory?
19:17.01 PrezKennedy brlcad, ever used it?
19:21.05 brlcad why would I?
19:21.41 brlcad no reason to, at least to date, but just a language like most any other

20:36.59 starseeker brlcad: uh. are you asking if the make distcheck makes a directory for togl?
20:38.24 starseeker it seems to
20:45.20 brlcad that's the problem
20:45.30 brlcad it's copying the files for a dist
20:45.35 brlcad it's just copying them into the wrong place
20:45.54 brlcad it's using a hard-coded tmp dir instead of the distdir variable
20:46.39 starseeker oh, you mean a literal /tmp/togl-dist path
20:46.46 brlcad yepp
20:46.50 starseeker bah
20:47.30 brlcad so you can try to edit that hard-code, replace it with the automake distdir variable
20:47.39 brlcad forget the exact name/case
20:48.18 brlcad might want to compare what another distdir rule is doing (like src/libpkg/Makefile)
20:56.35 starseeker fights the urge to hop on tcl channel and begin a flamewar about build systems...
21:11.06 ``Erik grabs a video camera and a giant foam finger :D
21:15.37 yukonbob I don't think the togl dev team is represented on #tcl
21:16.27 starseeker yukonbob: oh, I'd just be complaining about the general oddness in the Tcl/Tk world - all of the more sophisticated tricks in BRL-CAD's autotools build never map into any of the vanilla Tcl/Tk builds
21:17.01 starseeker I know the answers, it's just a particular frustration right now
22:17.40 ``Erik very odd.
22:19.01 ``Erik they placed one bed inside of the other
22:20.17 ``Erik and the base from the downstairs bed is halfway up the stiars

22:42.23 CIA-93 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r39819 10/brlcad/trunk/src/other/togl/Makefile.in: Try some more tweaks for Togl dist stuff - looks like the build is busted on my Mac now...
22:47.52 CIA-93 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r39820 10/brlcad/trunk/src/other/tktable/Makefile.in: See if this does it for tktable.
22:49.40 starseeker Ralith: his cats
23:15.01 Ralith ooh.
23:19.23 ``Erik I bought two cat beds, one with a removable liner, placed one downstairs in the study (witht he liner), the other on the second floor in the living room... they removed the liner yesterday, this morning the one that was downstairs was in the living room near the other
23:19.27 ``Erik and when I got home, one was in the other
23:20.17 ``Erik huzzah, my phone is now 3g-ified
23:25.02 starseeker ``Erik: huh, they're naturally inclined to organize - see if you can teach them to fold laundry :-)
23:51.57 CIA-93 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r39821 10/brlcad/trunk/src/libged/red.c: Get a start on the comb tree - can identify operators, and separate out the name+matrix? strings from the operator strings. Build from here.
