02:50.08 CIA-42 BRL-CAD: 03r_weiss * r41013 10/brlcad/trunk/src/libbn/plane.c:
02:50.08 CIA-42 BRL-CAD: In function bn_isect_line3_line3, made many changes to tolerances and added
02:50.08 CIA-42 BRL-CAD: checks for zero magnitude vectors. Made a logic change to improve detecting
02:50.08 CIA-42 BRL-CAD: colinear lines. This function needs more work but I believe it is working
02:50.08 CIA-42 BRL-CAD: better.
02:57.37 CIA-42 BRL-CAD: 03r_weiss * r41014 10/brlcad/trunk/src/libbu/malloc.c: In function bu_realloc added check to insure the minimum amount of memory is allocated to store a pointer. This change is consistent with function _bu_alloc.
03:36.45 CIA-42 BRL-CAD: 03r_weiss * r41015 10/brlcad/trunk/src/librt/primitives/nmg/nmg_tri.c: (log message trimmed)
03:36.45 CIA-42 BRL-CAD: Changed function nmg_triangulate_fu to not call nmg_s_split_touchingloops. This
03:36.45 CIA-42 BRL-CAD: function causes increased triangulation failures. The function
03:36.45 CIA-42 BRL-CAD: nmg_triangulate_shell has better success and does not call this function. More
03:36.45 CIA-42 BRL-CAD: investigation is needed but for now leaving out nmg_s_split_touchingloops
03:36.46 CIA-42 BRL-CAD: improves triangulation within the MGED 'ev' command. The MGED facetize command
03:36.47 CIA-42 BRL-CAD: uses nmg_triangulate_shell which has more success than 'ev' performing

18:19.54 kanzure anyone know a company that exclusively uses brlcad? :)
18:20.07 kanzure well, not exclusively, but "very frequently" at least
18:41.34 ``Erik um, us gov't?
18:41.46 ``Erik british gov't? german gov't?
18:41.55 ``Erik :D how about 'survice'?
18:42.01 ``Erik quantum research?
18:42.30 ``Erik just talked to a guy from llnl doing neat BRL-CAD stuff
18:45.45 kanzure cool. i'm looking to do 10min interviews with people in the business (or govt) world who just sit in front of CAD all day
18:45.54 kanzure soo any contact suggestions would be hawt.
18:47.06 kanzure er i guess that might sound stupid since we have developers in here, but i think working on brlcad is quantiatively different
20:41.21 *** join/#brlcad juanman (~quassel@unaffiliated/juanman)
21:26.41 starseeker kanzure: that'll be complicated - most such folks will probably involve clearances for interviews from PR folk
21:31.44 starseeker growls at the tcl configure.in file... ouch. Time to test whether I can build BRL-CAD using the Activestate Tcl.
21:31.53 starseeker reboots again... sigh...
22:07.05 kanzure starseeker: thanks
22:18.48 CIA-42 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r41016 10/brlcad/branches/cmake/misc/CMake/FindTCL.cmake:
22:18.48 CIA-42 BRL-CAD: OK, with these tweaks FindTCL can spot an activestate install. The good news is
22:18.48 CIA-42 BRL-CAD: the tclConfig.sh files are also present in a Tcl install, which means the
22:18.48 CIA-42 BRL-CAD: reading of that file appears to be a legit universal detection method. Need to
22:18.49 CIA-42 BRL-CAD: use that to simplify the FindTCL script. Checking for C:/Tcl covers the default
22:18.49 CIA-42 BRL-CAD: directory for a local install that doesn't alter the registry keys.
22:23.25 starseeker kanzure: for nothing? :-P
22:25.29 starseeker ok, good news is itcl/itk are in activestate. bad news is iwidgets is not
22:25.35 starseeker surprising news is tktable is in
22:27.00 starseeker has cmake builds for tkhtml and tkpng, which should just leave iwidgets as the kicker between BRL-CAD and a studio build
22:27.16 starseeker grits his teeth and examines iwidgets more closely...
22:44.58 CIA-42 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r41017 10/brlcad/branches/cmake/misc/CMake/FindTCL.cmake: Whoops, got my if/else pairs messed up.
23:02.58 CIA-42 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r41018 10/brlcad/branches/cmake/src/other/incrTcl/iwidgets/CMakeLists.txt: Take a quick stab at a CMakeLists.txt file for iwidgets - doesn't handle the docs yet.
23:09.12 CIA-42 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r41019 10/brlcad/branches/cmake/src/other/tktable/CMakeLists.txt: Whoops, typo.
