00:04.13 starseeker phew. finally
00:05.06 starseeker if anybody wants to tell me where else distcheck is broken, you can try it out with make -j3 distcheck-full using latest trunk (warning, will do a LOT of compiling)
00:06.00 starseeker Right now, only the Make generator is likely to work - Ninja is almost there but there are some bugs in the generator logic that prevent ninja clean from doings its thing correctly
00:06.43 starseeker multiconfig has some wrinkles that need pondering - like whether a distclean in Xcode should clear all build configurations or just the current one
00:28.22 CIA-128 BRL-CAD: 03tbrowder2 * r49941 10/brlcad/trunk/src/conv/comgeom/read.c: replace bu_strlcpy with bu_vls_strncpy in getint and getdeouble functions to avoid chopping the end char and invalidating the int read for fields of the input string
00:30.24 CIA-128 BRL-CAD: 03tbrowder2 * r49942 10/brlcad/trunk/src/conv/ (CMakeLists.txt Makefile.am comgeom/3d.h): remove unused header file

07:42.19 edlerk Hello?
07:42.37 edlerk I am having trouble comipiling the brlcad source.
07:42.49 edlerk It seems that all warnings are being treated as errors.
07:43.44 edlerk I am compiling the source because the thing I want to do does not seem to work with the i386.deb package although it does work with the x86_64.deb package.
07:47.28 *** join/#brlcad jordisayol (~jordisayo@unaffiliated/jordisayol)
07:47.50 edlerk I am having trouble comipiling the brlcad source.
07:47.55 edlerk It seems that all warnings are being treated as errors.
07:48.02 edlerk I am compiling the source because the thing I want to do does not seem to work with the i386.deb package although it does work with the x86_64.deb package.
07:52.55 edlerk jordisayol: Hello.
07:53.24 jordisayol hello
07:53.39 edlerk Have you ever compiled the source?
07:54.11 jordisayol yes
07:54.41 edlerk Did you ever have trouble with it not compiling because warnings were being treated as errors?
07:54.41 jordisayol run cmake with this flag -DBRLCAD_ENABLE_STRICT=OFF
07:55.12 edlerk Okay.
07:55.30 edlerk Thanks.
07:55.46 jordisayol You are wellcome
08:01.06 edlerk If it works, I would like to add this note to the build instructions in README.cmake. Where do I submit the patch?
08:01.32 edlerk It would help a great deal if the build instructions work right out of the box.
08:02.39 jordisayol well, the idea is to correct all the warning
08:03.20 edlerk I see. I corrected a bunch of them first but then the warnings started to be with regards to un-used function arguments.
08:03.47 edlerk There were a bunch of warnings in nmg_tri.c
08:04.02 edlerk Most of them were really simple to fix.
08:05.42 jordisayol btw, warnings treated as errors is explained in INSTALL file
08:07.28 edlerk That it is. I think I saw that once and then forgot about it. Sorry. I do not like asking questions that are explained in the docs.
08:07.56 jordisayol you can propose those patch to brlcad
08:08.11 jordisayol no problem
08:08.56 edlerk K. Through the sourceforge Traker:feature requests?
08:10.56 jordisayol yes, or subscribing to brlcad-devel mail list
08:11.03 edlerk Thanks.
08:59.44 brlcad edlerk: the fix isn't to turn off strict compilation, the fix is to address the warning being reported
09:00.36 brlcad turning off strict compilation is just a crutch work-around, so it's not something to really encourage in the documentation or otherwise

13:51.02 starseeker do we still have a README.cmake? I thought that got swapped in as the main README a while back
13:51.21 starseeker sounds like an older version
13:59.56 starseeker starts redoing Gentoo - nothing like an install to eat up a weekend...
16:15.18 andrei starseeker , why do you prefer Gentoo over Arch?
16:15.42 andrei I m changing my distro from ubuntu in a few days and I am undecided
16:17.48 starseeker andrei: never tried Arch - have used Gentoo for a long time and am reasonably familiar with it
16:19.03 andrei the only thing I know about Gentoo is that it's very flexible
16:24.13 starseeker your hardware has to be good to make it tolerable, and you have to want to understand what's going on
16:24.18 starseeker no GUI setups for Gentoo installers
16:25.37 andrei a GUI shouldn't be hard to install
16:27.00 andrei speaking of minimal distro's
16:27.20 andrei the only thing that "scares" me for the moment is the package library diferences
16:27.44 andrei for example arch does not use dkpg and neither the apt-get wrapper
16:30.21 andrei It might sound like a strange question, but it just came into my mind. Why does BRL-CAD need a network package library
16:38.46 starseeker no, I mean the installation process isn't graphical - you can install GUIs, of course
16:39.23 starseeker andrei: raytracing results (for example) can be communicated over the network to remote framebuffer displays
16:40.32 andrei at a rough approximation, how large can this results be?
16:44.57 starseeker umm? you can do as big a raytrace as you want...
16:46.25 andrei ah. I'm sorry
16:46.43 andrei I didn't really know what raytraces are, I looked them up now

20:43.32 starseeker gets fed up and gives Linux Mint a go - something weird with Gentoo right now, and this computer is getting long in the tooth to keep continually beating on it with upgrade compilations...
20:45.29 starseeker took out my Window install in the process... growl. May be time to try the mingw cross-compilation trick...
