05:07.19 brlcad hello blessing
05:10.52 blessing hi brlcad
05:11.19 blessing sorry for being impolite
05:12.35 blessing Im Blessing Atie from University of Buea and I would love to start hacking brlcad code
05:15.38 Stragus Cool, brlcad is the person to talk to :)
05:15.55 Stragus Assuming he didn't go to sleep
05:16.06 brlcad blessing: not sure what was impolite there, but welcome
05:17.31 brlcad many many ways to get started, but talking here via irc and/or on our mailing list is a great way along with reading our hacking brl-cad book
05:20.18 blessing Thankx Stragus brlcad
05:21.30 brlcad wanders for a bit
05:21.58 blessing just did an svn checkout and running the configure script gives me " Installation directory (CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX) is set to .... /usr/brlcad/dev-7.25.0, but build type is set to Release!
05:23.05 blessing where can i make the change ?
05:23.11 brlcad interesting issue ... I don't usually use the configure script but there could be something awry there
05:23.26 brlcad instead of running configure, run cmake in a build directory
05:23.30 brlcad mkdir .build
05:23.32 brlcad cd .build
05:23.41 brlcad cmake ..
05:23.47 brlcad make
05:24.01 brlcad something like that
05:25.09 brlcad read the INSTALL file for tips/options, the README for a broad overview, the HACKING file for developer notes (this is different from the book I mentioned)

17:56.07 Notify 03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 63125 brlcad/trunk/src/librtserver/rtserver.c: looks like more recent versions of jni_md.h (included via jni.h) also provide an UNUSED() macro. fortunately, theirs is 100% identical to ours, so just make sure we turns ours off before including them and ensure the macro is eventually provided since it's needed below heavily.

18:38.32 blessing Hi
18:38.32 blessing Im Blessing Atie a student at University of Buea Cameroon and I would love to hack Brlcad code.
18:38.32 blessing I did an SVN checkout and read through the INSTALL and HACKING files as recommended by brlcad on #brlcad and im getting this error when i run make:

18:39.08 blessing Thanks
18:39.40 Stragus They apparently just commited an update related to that UNUSED() macro
18:43.13 blessing hi Stragus im not sure that helps me
18:43.45 *** join/#brlcad FreezingCold (~FreezingC@135.0.41.14)
18:44.14 Stragus Did you do a SVN checkout in the last 10 minutes?
18:44.51 blessing Stragus, no i did it 7 hours ago
18:46.01 Stragus Right, so pull in the latest commits :)

19:35.53 Notify 03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 63126 (brlcad/trunk/BUGS brlcad/trunk/src/liboptical/sh_text.c): apply sf patch #309 (Fixed raytracing with bad texture dimensions) from Stefan Mirea that addresses a texture mapping crash where simply specifying the wrong image dimensions would cause liboptical to read beyond array bounds. this wraps the texture mapping coordinates around the image space (toroidally) and enhances the red channel
19:35.56 Notify to help indicate the error.
19:38.56 brlcad blessing: did you see my reply to your original e-mail?
19:40.03 blessing brlcad,: No i had no replies
19:42.41 blessing Ah brlcad I just saw it! Thanks
19:56.57 Notify 03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 63127 (brlcad/trunk/AUTHORS brlcad/trunk/NEWS): credit ?\200?\152tefan-gabriel mirea with his sf patch 309 that addresses a texture mapping coordinate crash. he wraps the image coordinates and enhances the red channel for any out-of-bounds lookups. he expressed that this is the first of many contributions. fantastic!
20:04.11 Notify 03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 63128 brlcad/trunk/src/libbrep/boolean.cpp: fix compiler-detected security issues. the second arg to bu_log should be a string literal.
20:06.20 Notify 03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 63129 brlcad/trunk/src/libbrep/boolean.cpp: size() gives a size_t type, so use %zd
20:06.21 brlcad okay, great
20:18.44 Notify 03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 63130 brlcad/trunk/src/libbrep/boolean.cpp: array doesn't need to be a reference. llvm complains that it makes creating an implicit copy assignment operator impossible (needed for std::set/multiset packing).
21:04.59 *** join/#brlcad blessing (~chick@41.205.22.41)
21:08.01 blessing brlcad, everything went well with 7.24.0 release but the latest release you recommended wont compile
21:08.18 blessing I get this
21:08.22 blessing Error renaming from "/home/SheCanCode/Desktop/brlcad-svn-trunk/build/CMakeTmp/BUILD_DELTA_FILE" to "/home/SheCanCode/Desktop/brlcad-svn-trunk/build/CMakeTmp/BUILD_DELTA_START": No such file or directory

21:23.00 blessing I guess we are all on different timezones so most are sleeping now. Good Night
21:23.24 teepee or just working late :)
21:23.48 blessing hey teepee
21:23.55 teepee hi
21:24.48 blessing its like girls are not welcomed here
21:25.32 teepee why do you think that?
21:25.43 blessing why is no one offering me help?
21:26.41 teepee most people listed in the nick-list are probably not actually on their computer
21:27.09 teepee I'm running my IRC on a raspberry pi that's always on even when I'm not at home
21:27.31 teepee so maybe just nobody around who can help
21:27.52 teepee especially brlcad will pretty much always see messages later and respond
21:28.46 teepee I'm from a different project, so I can't help much with details like the build error
21:32.36 blessing ok so what is teepee working on?
21:32.55 teepee is working on OpenSCAD
21:33.36 teepee we did GSoC together with BRL-CAD and it's cool to talk to other people doing similar projects
21:34.45 blessing thats great! I would love to do Gsoc too so as to gain more confidence in myself
21:37.52 teepee well, it was just announced that there will be a GSoC next year, and it's quite likely BRL-CAD will join again
21:39.30 blessing sure! brlcad is always in. its like google finds favours in them
21:40.14 teepee I think it's also because the area is not actually filled with projects
21:40.24 teepee it's not that many open source CAD projects
21:40.57 teepee probably even more operating systems in this years GSoC than CAD projects :D
21:54.45 brlcad blessing: nobody would even know your gender here if you didn't share it, you are certainly welcom
21:55.16 brlcad IRC responses are not guaranteed to be instantaneous ... we all respond when we can which might be immediately or 12 hours later
21:56.11 brlcad see http://brlcad.org/wiki/IRC for more details on IRC etiquette and expectations
21:58.01 blessing Thanks brlcad
21:58.31 brlcad as for gsoc 2015, I haven't yet decided whether or not we'll be applying but I should have a better idea in a few weeks
21:59.31 brlcad we love it, but it's exhausting and it could be our turn to take a break even if we do apply (vetern orgs are often forced to take a break)
21:59.55 teepee aww
22:00.13 blessing what can i do with that make error its so annoying
22:00.31 blessing I need to start using mged
22:00.40 blessing ASAP
22:00.47 brlcad why is that?
22:01.37 brlcad I replied on the mailing list already, but basically -- need more info
22:02.45 blessing from what i read in the documentation mged would really give me an understanding of how primitives are made
22:03.50 brlcad like what version of cmake you're using and what all of your build steps have been
22:07.13 blessing im using cmake 2.8.12.2 and after doing an svn checkout , i cd into the brlcad folder and mkdir brlcad-build
22:07.40 blessing then cd brlcad-build, cmake ..
22:07.53 blessing just as explained in the wiki
22:08.55 brlcad huh, except your error message says you're not in a brlcad-build dir ... or that you ran cmake elsewhere first
22:09.14 brlcad you should probably "start over" ...
22:09.22 brlcad ~cadsvn
22:09.22 infobot To obtain BRL-CAD from Subversion: svn checkout https://svn.code.sourceforge.net/p/brlcad/code/brlcad/trunk brlcad
22:09.29 brlcad cd brlcad
22:09.37 brlcad mkdir .build
22:09.38 brlcad cd .build
22:09.39 brlcad cmake ..
22:10.01 brlcad see if that also gives you the BUILD_DELTA_START error
22:10.50 brlcad and you can rm -rf ~/Desktop/brlcad-svn-trunk if that wasn't obvious, starting over
22:12.07 brlcad give that a go and report back, hopefully successful! :)
22:12.31 blessing im on it
22:16.48 blessing every thing seems to be fine now as im running make
22:16.56 blessing Thanks
22:17.19 blessing hoping it does not fail
22:21.02 brlcad if it does, fix it ;)
22:21.21 brlcad you have the source, go to town on it ;)
22:33.17 blessing sure will do just that! (y)
23:19.36 blessing Im being lucky It completed successfully now i can start
23:21.17 *** join/#brlcad kintel (~kintel@unaffiliated/kintel)
23:28.06 blessing Now i have BRL-CAD build where can i get tutorials on mged so i can try some modelling
