14:23.30 Notify 03BRL-CAD:starseeker * 60023 (brlcad/trunk/CMakeLists.txt brlcad/trunk/misc/CMake/Distcheck.cmake and 25 others): Get us ready for CMake 3.0 - either fix issues or (mostly) quiet warnings related to new policy rules from CMake 3.0. The LOCATION property is used fairly extensively, so that's going to be a bit of a trick to avoid. Not clear yet what a 'correct' approach would be. Fortunately, if we set that policy to
14:23.32 Notify OLD we can carry on.

14:44.47 javampire anybody knows a host where I can easily upload for sharing a small binary file ? Or alternatively, would it be appropriate to attach a ~1KB *.g file to a mail to the brlcad dev list ?
14:46.08 javampire kanzure: I can't get the windows port of python-brlcad to work correctly...
14:47.53 javampire it seems there's something in the BRL-CAD code which is wrong - either loading the directory of a BRL-CAD file is broken, or creating it, or possibly I'm not calling the right functions

15:46.07 kanzure javampire: okay, i will look at python-brlcad on windows soon
15:47.49 javampire well I found the immediate problem
15:48.04 javampire kanzure: I'm just adding a comment to the last pull request...
15:52.47 javampire kanzure: the type name in the comment is wrong because it is interpreted by the wiki engine, but you get the idea...
15:53.14 javampire this is the problem type: __off_t
15:55.18 kanzure ``__off_t``
15:58.08 javampire yep, its's 4 bytes in the compiled BRL-CAD, but cygwin headers define it to be 8 bytes
15:59.48 kanzure no i mean ``__off_t`` is how you avoid the "wiki engine"
16:00.37 javampire ah ok :-)
16:00.46 javampire BTW, the name is __pff64_t
16:00.52 javampire <PROTECTED>
16:01.59 javampire and it's likely it is defined correctly by cygwin, but then the "long long" type is wrong, cygwin supposes it is 4 bytes, ctypes sets it to 8 bytes
16:02.29 javampire in any case it is some type mismatch between all those tools :-(
16:06.19 *** join/#brlcad gaganjyot (~gagan@124.253.224.181)
16:13.46 javampire kanzure: the "__off64_t" type is OK, it is supposed to be 8 bytes, but the "off_t " type shouldn't be defined as __off64_t but as __off_t
16:18.05 javampire anyway, that's definitely not the only problem, I still get access violation errors even after fixing that :-(
16:18.56 javampire so my conclusion is: it will not work with the cygwin headers, and likely not with anything else than those with which BRL-CAD is actually compiled...
16:19.37 kanzure and the alternative is mingw?
16:20.36 javampire well mingw has the same problem, it is likely using different system headers than the actual BRL-CAD compile
16:21.12 javampire it can work by chance, and it can also fail in subtle ways
16:22.09 javampire this time I had the FILE structures defined differently, cygwin uses 64 bit offsets, while BRL-CAD obviously uses 32 bit ones
16:22.34 javampire not sure how that can work, but seems it is
16:23.53 javampire perhaps windows has support for both 32 and 64 bit offsets, and cygwin uses the 64 one by default and BRL-CAD the other - but I'm really an ignorant in such low level stuff
16:24.37 javampire I could try mingw, but that means another round of tedious setup with uncertain results...
16:25.31 javampire frankly I have not much direct interest in windows, especially if it is so difficult to get it right :-(
16:29.41 kanzure there is no cygwin build of brlcad
16:33.08 ``Erik cygwin hasn't been done in many many years, the windows builds are done using msvc (there is a free "express" version, not sure how well it works with BRL-CAD)
16:35.25 javampire well for me the windows version is getting over my possibilities...
16:36.01 javampire the install is working well enough now, but the core is broken currently
16:37.09 javampire if somebody wants to make the python-brlcad windows port working, I'm ready to help but I don't have the expertise to do it alone...
16:37.47 javampire in any case, the current package is working as well as any former versions, read: it was never really working except by chance
