00:05.09 CIA-128 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r49706 10/brlcad/trunk/src/other/CMakeLists.txt: Use ON/OFF instead of 1/0 here
00:06.28 CIA-128 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r49707 10/brlcad/trunk/misc/CMake/DocBook.cmake: Flesh out logic for generating fully qualified cmake scripts while still using configuration-flexible paths for build targets when doing DocBook building.
01:02.12 starseeker brlcad: do we have a poster for GSoC this year? (might help to send to univ. contacts...)
02:04.49 brlcad starseeker: not yet, care to whip something interesting up?
02:06.32 brlcad oh, maybe make it a double whammy -- you could make a detailed annotated diagram of a nurbs surface pointing out knot values, control points, etc
02:07.19 brlcad maybe show it in a larger context of some object, like the corner fender of some exotic / exciting shape
02:08.06 brlcad similar to your tire zoom in on the m35, a nurbs surface zoom in for some object showing the 2d uv space and 3d mapping, maybe hint at topological stitching
02:08.28 brlcad or something else altogether, but that'd be an image you could reuse for something upcoming ... :)
02:33.30 starseeker brlcad: I have a rather uniformly bad track record on poster design ;-)
02:39.11 starseeker ponders... keith's brep command can do some basic visualizations, perhaps that could be expanded upon...

11:05.08 brlcad starseeker: which would only ever get better through practice / training ;)
11:06.35 brlcad I was thinking something barebones like the existing opennurbs brep diagram, just something more clean in dia or mathematica

14:18.51 brlcad CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:36 (FILE):
14:19.07 brlcad <PROTECTED>
14:19.20 brlcad <PROTECTED>
14:19.47 brlcad not sure what's happening there, but everything else during install went cleanly
14:22.09 brlcad AUTHORS is/was already installed
14:49.58 CIA-128 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r49708 10/brlcad/trunk/CMakeLists.txt: set the right name for the 64bit NSIS file.
15:44.21 brlcad starseeker: problem solved, permissions problem .. curiously only AUTHORS reported a failure
18:29.23 CIA-128 BRL-CAD: 03n_reed * r49709 10/brlcad/trunk/src/other/step/src/fedex_plus/classes.c: incorrect copy loops were indexing past end of source strings
20:14.05 CIA-128 BRL-CAD: 03n_reed * r49710 10/brlcad/trunk/src/other/step/src/fedex_plus/classes.c: ensure null termination as well
21:23.40 starseeker n_reed: the Mac problem is way deeper than that - after following main in fedex.c as far as defining model, Linux has what looks like a real pointer for model and Mac doesn't
21:24.07 starseeker perhaps there are issues with the function prototypes for Express in express/express.h?
21:26.50 CIA-128 BRL-CAD: 03r_weiss * r49711 10/brlcad/trunk/src/libged/model2view.c: Updated function 'ged_model2view' in file 'model2view.c'. Added the ability to pass in a model coordinate in mm and return the screen coordinate. This change was added for backwards compatibility.
21:41.19 starseeker yeah, by the time main starts up on Linux, model is already populated
21:41.26 starseeker not so on Mac
21:41.40 starseeker weird... how it is initializing before anything happens in main?
21:48.29 ``Erik main() is not _start, fwiw
21:55.20 ``Erik aight, dinner is cooking O.o the compiler shoves a lot of stuff between _start and main(), including little stuff like loading and initializing libraries...
21:55.51 ``Erik if the model is being set in, say, a library initialization function (or static in the lib), that might happen before main (or it might not, depends on the loader, os, etc)
21:56.26 ``Erik hopefully that helped to utterly confuse ya :D
21:56.55 starseeker wonders if we're putting something on the stack that is too big for OSX...
21:57.28 starseeker growl
22:06.44 starseeker n_reed: fwiw, the github SCL version of fedex_plus succeeds on OSX
22:10.59 starseeker maybe the thing to do is just continue with the merge of the two trees
