01:24.15 ``Erik eck, that patch for cl-cia is wrong (doesn't compile, doesn't make sense), and I thought the modifications I made 2 weeks ago deprecated this as a task :/
01:35.40 maths22 What does not make sense?
01:40.35 ``Erik referring to variables that are not in scope, assignment of an undecorated function name to a variable, etc
01:41.10 ``Erik (cl-cia is in common lisp, not emacs lisp or scheme... sbcl is the impl it's tested on)
01:42.37 ``Erik (and the commit changed line endings through the whole file to dos style, so the diff isn't very helpful)
01:50.56 ``Erik I'll have to look over it some more tomorrow morning, I think, see what direction should be taken (if any)
02:11.22 maths22 I will see if I can improve it (and not bree endings)
02:11.42 maths22 I will also fix the variables if I can

02:17.04 brlcad but yeah, should be fixed
02:17.30 ``Erik git diff -w works, too
02:17.41 brlcad so what do you want to do with the task?
02:17.46 brlcad you'd suggested it
02:18.29 brlcad format doesn't technically fit what the task suggests (matching commit), so could still be something
02:19.02 brlcad also don't know if you know but notify is no longer in #bzflag, didn't show up to report commits over past couple days
02:19.11 ``Erik actually, you suggested it originally :D improving the reliability of the parsing is probably the biggest improvement that could be made
02:19.24 brlcad rather, is in there now, but wasn't
02:20.07 brlcad I'd requested much more brevity

03:31.03 Gmercer015 whoops haha
03:31.41 starseeker brlcad: I think I looked at that a while back - looked fine
03:32.31 brlcad Gmercer015: heh that's right .. default username
03:32.50 brlcad starseeker: what'd you want to do with that?

03:33.44 starseeker brlcad: I figured it would be useful when the time came to write up the NURBS stuff
03:34.20 brlcad you planning on committing it then, or just stashing the file on your end?
03:34.32 starseeker brlcad: either way
03:34.33 brlcad just wondering how to take that to the next step
03:34.54 starseeker you mean a follow-on task?
03:35.20 starseeker wasn't sure whether you would want to commit it
03:38.00 Gmercer015 why do all functions in poly.c return a pointer to a struct that is already passed into the function? meaning from my understand a call would me polyp = bn_poly_scale(polyp,poly1,poly2)
03:38.11 brlcad no, follow-on action -- each of the tasks is being tracked on their status so that nothing falls through the cracks
03:38.22 Gmercer015 even though polyp already seems to be multiplied
03:38.26 Gmercer015 modified*
03:38.50 starseeker we can commit it
03:38.52 brlcad starseeker: it's okay to commit if it's documentation for our implementation
03:38.59 starseeker brlcad: it isn't, yet
03:39.04 brlcad hm
03:39.08 starseeker just a list of references
03:39.25 brlcad that's a little more problematic the
03:39.31 starseeker nods
03:39.33 starseeker figured
03:39.46 brlcad so then is the end-state "in your hands"? :)
03:39.51 starseeker yep
03:40.07 brlcad okay, I can track it that way
03:40.18 brlcad if I say something again, just say no action or done or whatever ;)
03:40.30 brlcad might forget a 100 tasks later
03:40.34 starseeker sure :-)
03:40.48 starseeker sorry I didn't frame that so it'd be easier to track

03:45.42 stevenkou when building brlcad, is zlib necessary, will brlcad still work without building it?
03:46.04 starseeker if you have a system zlib, it will work without building it
03:46.48 stevenkou what do you mean, does it mean that if the system that has zlib already installed, the program need not contain it?
03:47.01 brlcad new task: showcase article: http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/8095205
03:48.16 brlcad stevenkou: zlib is necessary, but it can either compile a version we provide or use a zlib you already have installed
03:49.50 stevenkou i understand now, i will try to not build it as it is giving problems when compiling using cygwin
03:52.27 brlcad caen23: if you want to tackle a problem related to the float fastf_t, there is http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/8017207
03:52.44 brlcad stevenkou: there's a GCI task for that, is that yours?
03:55.09 stevenkou yes, http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/7961226, i'm currently working on it, my attempt is to compile as much and skip those that are giving problems, will that do?
03:55.58 brlcad that will, presuming you can get past the cmake failures
03:56.37 brlcad starseeker may be able to help you with some of those, he's a cmake guru and set up the cmake builds
03:56.52 brlcad he may have an idea where the :: is coming from
03:57.06 brlcad but yeah, you can just comment those out if it comes to it
03:57.15 stevenkou i have already resolved the cmake error by skipping the generation of man-pages, i will consult him on that
03:57.34 starseeker the "::" may be from Windows path names...
03:57.39 stevenkou yes
03:57.58 starseeker usually if those aren't being handled correctly it means some quotes are missing around path names
03:58.11 starseeker what's the specific failure message?
03:58.40 stevenkou let me check it out, i will paste one of the many similar errors here
03:59.02 stevenkou CMake Error: File /usr/brlcad/rel-7.22.1/brlcad-build/src/other/tk/doc/mann/ttk::treeview.n does not exist.
03:59.03 stevenkou CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:417 (_configure_file):
03:59.03 stevenkou <PROTECTED>
03:59.03 stevenkou Call Stack (most recent call first):
03:59.03 stevenkou <PROTECTED>
04:00.10 stevenkou from the first line, it is said that the file cannot be found, but the file does exist and from within the cygwin terminal, the filename is acurrate with the "::" intact, but those colons go missing when viewed from windows explorer
04:00.20 Notify 03BRL-CAD:jordisayol * 54083 brlcad/trunk/misc/debian/rules: Don't generate "shlibs" file for Linux deb packages
04:00.41 starseeker I'd suggest adding "" around the pathnames in the configure_file command
04:00.44 starseeker see if that helps
04:02.45 stevenkou i'm not very familiar with this, but which specific file should i be editing?
04:04.02 starseeker <PROTECTED>
04:04.59 brlcad new task: fix cmake on cygwin: http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/8093204
04:05.40 stevenkou seems like the new task would help greatly on my task
04:05.45 brlcad stevenkou: you can claim that new task if you make progress or like to shift gears for a little bit (you can unclaim/reclaim the task)
04:06.01 brlcad it would, and if you figure it out, you get two tasks out of the work ;)
04:06.44 stevenkou starseeker: i have previously comment out the generation of man-pages to remove those above mentioned errors, i would have to restore them too right?
04:06.50 starseeker yes
04:07.50 stevenkou tcl is giving similar problems too, i should do the same by adding "" around the pathnames right?
04:09.25 stevenkou This is the original line, configure_file(${man} ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/${MAN_DIR}/mann/${tkmann} COPYONLY)
04:09.26 stevenkou it should become configure_file("${man} ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/${MAN_DIR}/mann/${tkmann}" COPYONLY)
04:11.23 starseeker no
04:11.32 starseeker ${man} is a separate path from the rest
04:11.50 starseeker so ${man} needs its own quotes, as does the subsequent path
04:12.02 stevenkou i see, so it should have been configure_file("${man}" "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/${MAN_DIR}/mann/${tkmann}" COPYONLY)
04:12.08 starseeker right
04:22.40 Gmercer015 why do the functions in poly.c return a struct passed by pointer initially? such that mult returns struct bn_poly but modifies the value anyways
04:23.13 Gmercer015 polyp = bn_poly_mult(polyp,poly1,poly2) <-- ex
04:38.58 brlcad new task: add new db: http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/8099208
04:39.58 brlcad stevenkou: you might want to scan all occurences of configure_file() for that same issue
04:41.09 stevenkou it did not help when quotes are added around the paths with problems, cmake is still giving errors on the same line, not being able to find the files required

04:44.51 starseeker stevenkou: what's the correct path, and what's the one being reported?
04:47.28 *** join/#brlcad stevegt_ (~stevegt@c-69-181-134-76.hsd1.ca.comcast.net)
04:48.14 stevenkou what path do you want to know? for the errors? for CMake Error: File /usr/brlcad/rel-7.22.1/brlcad-build/src/other/tk/doc/mann/ttk::labelframe.n does not exist. The real path in windows would be C:\cygwin\usr\brlcad\rel-7.22.1\brlcad-build\src\other\tk\doc\mann\ttk::labelframe.n
04:48.14 stevenkou From what I know, all path names are correct, it is just the :: that are preventing things to work
04:50.31 starseeker after line 256 in src/other/tk/doc/CMakeLists.txt, try adding the following
04:50.58 starseeker message("tkmann: ${tkmann}")
04:51.16 starseeker see if that :: is present before configure_file is ever run
04:51.37 starseeker it should be ttk_labelframe.n
04:51.45 starseeker so somehow _ is becoming ::
04:51.56 starseeker what version of CMake do you have?
04:52.13 stevenkou 2.8.9, the latest i can get from cygwin
04:53.52 stevenkou Quote: "so somehow _ is becoming ::" does it mean that there the cmake is generating filenames wrongly?
04:57.42 stevenkou my log file is updated at my task page, please take a look at the last part of the log, it seems like the file are designed to be named with ::, is there anyway to stop this?
04:58.43 starseeker stevenkou: look at the cmake logic in that area
04:59.26 starseeker are the generated files in ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/mann/ named using :: ?
04:59.43 starseeker it *should* just be globbing whatever is in that directory
05:00.24 stevenkou cmake logic? i don't quite understand that part
05:00.24 stevenkou the files are indeed named correctly if i browse to it in the cygwin terminal, but not if in windows explorer
05:00.36 starseeker O.o
05:00.39 brlcad stevenkou: "it is just the :: that are preventing things to work" ... but where is the :: coming FROM?
05:00.51 starseeker so cygwin and Windows are seeing *different* file names?
05:00.55 brlcad that's the point of adding that message() line
05:01.32 brlcad need to trace back through where those variables come from to figure out where it's coming from
05:02.04 stevenkou in the file names, for example, tkmann: ttk::label.n
05:02.05 stevenkou the file does exist, from what i understand, windows does not allow : in filenames, so naturally it is unable to present the filename correctly
05:02.52 starseeker ah, k
05:03.11 starseeker sees the ttk man pages do indeed have "::" in their output
05:03.14 starseeker names
05:03.41 starseeker that's how tcl denotes namespace, so that's probably why they're named that way
05:03.57 brlcad ah
05:04.42 starseeker one option would be to change :: to _ in the actual man pages
05:04.54 starseeker doubt upstream would accept that change though
05:05.12 stevenkou but how to tell that to cmake and process that way?
05:05.20 starseeker that's not CMake
05:05.33 starseeker a shell script is being run to generate those files
05:05.46 brlcad so, but why isn't this a problem for the non-cygwin windows compile?
05:05.55 starseeker because sh isn't available
05:05.56 brlcad are the docs just skipped?
05:05.59 brlcad okay
05:06.06 starseeker no sh, no man page script
05:06.21 starseeker I didn't translate it into CMake, considering the "man" command wasn't available either...
05:07.06 stevenkou those man-pages is not a big problem right? if those files are skipped, will anything be affected?
05:07.06 starseeker cygwin is a problem though, because we *do* have sh and man along with Windows pathname restrictions (apparently)
05:07.26 starseeker stevenkou: we'd have to conditionalize our logic, which is something we try and avoid
05:08.05 starseeker you do want those man pages, if you have the tools available to read them in the first place
05:09.02 stevenkou i have a question here, bugging for quite a while, what is the function of man-pages, documentations?
05:09.09 starseeker yes
05:09.32 brlcad stevenkou: man == manual .. pages of a manual
05:09.37 starseeker http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_page
05:10.27 stevenkou i understand now, thank you
05:10.30 starseeker brlcad: what do you think? fix the man pages to work on cygwin, or just conditionalize them out?
05:11.58 stevenkou at the moment, i can skip them and try to make most of brlcad to build right?
05:12.58 starseeker yes, but don't forget about the issue because it will need to be addressed one way or the other
05:13.54 brlcad starseeker: since it's our copy, probably best to just strip :: from the name or replace them with a character
05:14.40 brlcad stevenkou: you can skip them, but figuring out a proper fix will let you claim the other task too, so it's not just an academic question
05:14.56 starseeker stevenkou: OK, go for that - anywhere in the Tcl/Tk man pages where you see something like ttk::, replace it with ttk_
05:14.57 brlcad we need both problems solved, not just a rush to a finish
05:15.06 starseeker see if that works
05:15.37 starseeker stevenkou: the default "out of box" experience for BRL-CAD should be that it builds and works, regardless
05:15.56 stevenkou but is cmake is able locate them if i rename the files?
05:15.59 starseeker so anything like this is a show-stopper, and needs to be addressed
05:16.04 starseeker my guess would be yes
05:16.11 starseeker but that's not enough
05:16.35 starseeker you need to fix the original files in the src/other/tk/doc directory so they won't *generate* files using ::
05:16.54 starseeker for example, look at src/other/tk/doc/ttk_label.n
05:17.26 starseeker inside, you'll see the string "ttk::label"
05:18.03 stevenkou yes, on line 13
05:18.08 stevenkou etc
05:18.25 starseeker nods. I'd try changing the one on line 10 first
05:18.47 starseeker see if the file that appears in the build directory is named ttk::label or ttk_label
05:19.17 starseeker once you find the right one to change, you'll have to change it for all the files generating errors
05:19.35 starseeker remember, too, that some of the src man pages will generate more than one output file in the build directory
05:19.57 stevenkou that mean i will have to delete the build and try again to see if my edit in ttk_label.n will affect the generated files, test if it works
05:20.36 starseeker you can probably just clear the contents of the src/other/tk/doc/mann subdirectory in the build directory
05:21.01 starseeker then re-run cmake
05:26.10 stevenkou i only edited one line, but no errors are present at the moment, i guess i will have to clear the entire build directory to confirm

07:52.34 stevenkou I guess that all the mentors are sleeping at the moment, shall not bother them further, logs will be updated to the latest one after make is finished, or stopped because of errors.

15:36.35 brlcad it's a presentation meant to take all of 2 minutes, so it's intentionally very brief and can easily expand into a 5-10 minute talk

15:39.02 brlcad you tell me, did you read the discussion and logs? :)
15:39.17 brlcad that error sounds fishy
15:39.35 brlcad note that if you install Xi, the development libraries/headers are usually a separate apt-get
15:39.44 brlcad that goes for most packages
15:39.54 brlcad runtime is not the same package as what you need to compile
15:40.01 brlcad there's usually a -dev or -devel pacakge
