01:19.29 brlcad elf_: what command did you run that gave you that message?
01:28.48 brlcad the file if_ogl.c shouldn't be a make target
01:29.20 brlcad you'd make the product that compiles if_ogl.c, which would be "make libfb"
01:29.32 brlcad or simply "make" which will rebuild all products that have changed including libfb
02:58.11 elf_ I don't seem to be able to compile the file correctly, I added an 'S' option for double buffering, then I compiled and run the tool with pix-fb -F/dev/oglS but I get the 'S option not found, ignored' error, so I let only the 'S' option and tried again, it has the same effect, it sees all the previous options(which are not there, in the modeflags options anymore) but it doesn't see the 'S' one which I just added and it's currently the only one

04:04.08 chamberlain hello, I am a newly graduated computer engineer. I found myself in need of some open-source software like SolidWorks or Inventor, and this seems like the closest thing currently available. I'm tentatively thinking of contributing to brl-cad with the goal of one day adding some SolidWorks style features. Is that presumptuous or in line with brl-cad's vision?
04:06.17 kanzure sure
04:06.28 kanzure parametric nurbs-based modeling is definitely on target
04:06.47 kanzure all the good parts of opennurbs cost many stacks of cash
04:08.35 chamberlain yeah, I've noticed now that I'm not a student and can't get it for free...
04:08.41 chamberlain hence wanting to make a free version :)
04:12.00 chamberlain so..... just how much of an overhaul is needed for nurbs?
04:12.16 chamberlain From some of the stuff I was reading, it sounded like nurbs was mostly implemented.
04:15.01 chamberlain oh sorry, I just had to read up on what exactly opennurbs is. The models are nurbs, but the feature set is lacking, yes?
04:19.15 kanzure boolean nurbs operations are presently lacking in brlcad
04:19.23 kanzure opennurbs has those features if you pay
04:20.10 chamberlain olry? interesting...
04:20.19 chamberlain not so open then, is it?

13:16.16 brlcad elf__: it sounds like you may be missing some basic step like running the right tool or something
13:16.44 brlcad make sure you're running the tool you compiled, not the one that may be in your path

15:01.34 elf__ brlcad here's what my CMAKE generated file looks like http://paste.ubuntu.com/1168166/ , I am modifying in the /home/elf/brlcad-7.22.0

16:50.06 brlcad elf__: that cmake generated file is useless to me (and you shouldn't need to muck with anything generated)
16:50.30 brlcad it's a question of what you actually did, what commands you ran and in what order exactly
16:50.48 brlcad because I think there's some disconnect somewhere that needs to be sorted out, understood
17:32.23 elf__ Okay, so I installed the brlcad in the /home/brlcad folder.
17:32.40 elf__ I have the source file in /home/brlcad-7.22.0 folder
17:33.03 elf__ I modified the /home/brlcad/src/libfb/if_ogl.c file
17:33.43 elf__ and I used the make libfb command in the /home/brlcad folder

19:32.23 brlcad elf__: so when you run pix-fb, which pix-fb are you running?
19:35.17 elf__ the one /usr/brlcad/bin/pix-fb that's what the which command in ubuntu says
20:00.58 brlcad maybe that's the issue then
20:01.16 brlcad when you run "make libfb", that just recompiles the library
20:01.19 brlcad that doesn't install it
20:01.47 brlcad suggest deleting /usr/brlcad (for now) and just running the compiled binaries in your build direcotry
20:04.46 brlcad they're in a 'bin' subdirectory in your build directory
20:05.30 brlcad wherever you ran make, you should be able to run "bin/fbhelp" and get a usage statement
23:43.05 CIA-69 BRL-CAD: 03r_weiss * r52254 10/brlcad/trunk/src/librt/primitives/nmg/nmg_tri.c: Reverted functions "is_convex", "nmg_flatten_face" and "cut_unimonotone" back to rev 50866. These were within file "nmg_tri.c". This restores nmg triangulation to better working code.
