IRC log for #brlcad on 20111022

01:37.51 brlcad mattS_: what do you mean ... alas, you found it?
01:39.34 brlcad oh right, sorry mattS_ -- rcc is *just* a specialization of tgc, so the source link I mentioned for tgc is the one you want
03:30.13 mattS_ Hence why I could not find the rcc.c code :-) Thanks, this has helped. Revolve coming along nicely, just slowly. Full time job and all that sort of stuff getting in the way of fun!
05:19.35 brlcad mattS_: as soon as you have anything that works better, you're welcome to submit a patch so someone can review and integrate it
05:20.56 brlcad as long as it compiles and is an improvement, it's worth making a patch for it -- "svn diff > mychanges.patch" will make the patch for you if you have an svn checkout
05:22.09 brlcad also, the smaller the patch, the easier it is to review and integrate, so emphasis that the feature doesn't have to be "complete" .. if you get something working, make a patch, upload it to sourceforge, and that'll also give other devs a chance to review and comment on it
05:35.26 mattS_ That is my basic plan, but my programming skills are really quite poor. So, I've sketched out how to "complete" the tool, and am ironing all the (mathematical) kinks out. I will require a fair bit of input to get the code working, though...
05:42.38 mattS_ Probably require, that is.

09:47.53 cvds_ ted and red grow on you when you are used to them. Just wondering why ted must be called from inside sed mode

16:09.37 *** join/#brlcad ibidem (~idunham@scfib1G217.snowcrest.net)
16:10.19 ibidem trying to build brlcad on debian squeeze
16:11.12 ibidem have the dependencies installed, ./configure works
16:12.30 ibidem but when I compile, it errors out in librt
16:17.06 ibidem apparently search.c has several static declarations while search.h has nonstatic declarations
16:19.11 *** join/#brlcad jordisayol (~jordisayo@unaffiliated/jordisayol)
16:25.06 ibidem i'd guessed that it might be from using the wrong yacc version
16:26.15 ibidem but it looks like search.{c,h} aren't generated by yacc
16:55.28 ibidem well, I got librt to compile
16:55.58 ibidem s/^int/static int/
16:56.25 ibidem on search.h
16:56.55 ibidem was that a bad idea?
17:08.17 brlcad ibidem: no, that should be fine
17:21.11 ibidem ok, just got it installed--no more problems
17:45.33 ibidem one more thing-apparently archer needs tools.png installed before it will run
17:46.24 ibidem copy that over and archer runs fine on squeeze
19:25.12 CIA-48 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r47318 10/brlcad/trunk/src/librt/ (search.c search.h): ibidem (via irc) noted a declaration mismatch between search.h and search.c; eliminate the unnecessary forward declarations save for the few c_* callbacks used in the options array.
19:26.13 brlcad ibidem: ah, that would probably be mismatch between the autotools build and our new cmake build
19:28.18 CIA-48 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r47319 10/brlcad/trunk/src/tclscripts/archer/images/Makefile.am: tools.png missing from dist/install, thx to ibidem (via irc) for reporting issue.
19:29.12 brlcad we're in the process of migrating to a new cmake-based build system, so the autotools infrastructure will be removed in a few months
19:29.55 brlcad cvds_: that's a relic from mged's original heavy-modal heritage (ala vim)
19:30.16 brlcad slowly migrating towards becomging completely modeless
19:31.46 brlcad cvds_: you may like running rtwizard or manually running rtedge in overlay mode to emphasize the edges in your renderings ;)
19:35.40 CIA-48 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r47320 10/brlcad/trunk/TODO: so sayeth bob, struct rt_bot_internal should be using size_t * instead of int * for the faces and face_normals members
