01:31.51 starseeker andromeda-galaxy: erm. I'd suggest building 7.24.2 and see if it's also an issue there
01:32.06 starseeker could be something that's crept into trunk
01:32.28 starseeker if so, we'll need to figure out when
01:32.48 starseeker usually means a manual bisect
01:33.29 starseeker git's got a feature for it: http://git-scm.com/docs/git-bisect
01:33.35 starseeker subversion does not, out of the box
01:33.51 starseeker believes a perl script is out there somewhere but has never tried it
01:34.54 starseeker should try converting the repo to git and testing out bisect someday...

08:41.08 Stragus Pretty animations everywhere? :)

08:43.33 MarcUNIX Very good UI
08:43.45 MarcUNIX Icons are pretty shit, but I might consider upgrading my theme
08:44.00 MarcUNIX Runs way smoother than Debian, more user friendly and the terminal is colored :D love it
08:48.46 Stragus If Debian wasn't "smooth", it probably didn't have your video drivers installed
08:49.15 Stragus Debian will do things like that. "Because drivers that aren't open-source are evil"
08:49.40 MarcUNIX When I tried installing my video drivers it all went to shit
08:50.20 MarcUNIX My second monitor ran for about 5 minutes before becoming very very laggy, read up on what to do, ended up modifying my xorg.conf and failing, ended up getting Debian not to work anymore
08:50.28 MarcUNIX As in when I booted up debian, all I got was a blinking cursor
08:50.46 MarcUNIX Whereas on Ubuntu even my second monitor worked since the get-go
08:50.51 Stragus Yup. :) You need to use the text-mode terminal to fix the xorg.conf file in cases like that
08:50.56 Stragus Cool
08:51.16 MarcUNIX I'm happy with Ubuntu, hope brl-cad builds properly
08:51.37 MarcUNIX It passed 57%, the point where I was getting a weird strstream.h/sstream.h error on Debian so it should be good to go
08:51.39 Stragus You'll have to install a bunch of packages to compile anything
08:51.47 MarcUNIX I installed 'em all

19:26.17 smt hey i need help in building d src code!
19:26.25 MarcTannous smt, what's your issue?
19:26.51 smt i have installed cmake gui
19:27.11 smt seems der is some issue wid CMakeList.txt
19:27.16 MarcTannous what OS are you on?
19:27.43 smt i am working on windows as of now but can switch to linux if needed
19:28.02 MarcTannous Are you running the Debian VM provided by BRL-CAD?
19:28.11 smt noo!
19:28.33 andromeda-galaxy smt: what error are you getting?
19:29.26 smt when i press d configure button it pops up the error "ERROR in configuration process"
19:30.06 smt i have downloaded d zip file 7.24.2
19:30.37 smt and i give its location in d source path in cmake!
19:31.41 andromeda-galaxy sounds right so far... what happens when you click 'configure'?
19:32.19 smt as i said it just opens a dialog box n says error in configuration process
19:32.28 smt so i dont generate it further
19:32.34 andromeda-galaxy hmm... are there any other details?
19:32.53 andromeda-galaxy the main window should be split into a number of panes
19:33.03 andromeda-galaxy smt: the center one should show a bunch of variables without proper values
19:33.23 andromeda-galaxy and there should be another one below the 'configure' and 'generate' buttons that shows any errors & other output from cmake
19:33.32 andromeda-galaxy can you pastebin the contents of that panel?
19:33.47 MarcTannous smt: To be completely honest, I'd suggest using a Virtual Machine to set up an environment
19:34.05 smt ya d main window is split
19:34.07 MarcTannous If you want to do that, go ahead and download a Debian VM that's pretty much ready to go from here : http://sourceforge.net/projects/brlcad/files/BRL-CAD%20for%20Virtual%20Machines/
19:34.26 MarcTannous and check this out once you got the VM running http://brlcad.org/wiki/Building_from_SVN
19:34.33 smt do we have to use d contents of https://github.com/kanzure/brlcad/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt for CMakeLists.txt??
19:35.24 smt if i do in linux or ubuntu den also is dis debian vm required?
19:35.25 andromeda-galaxy smt: I believe that the 7.24.2 archive should contain the correct CMakeLists.txt
19:35.46 andromeda-galaxy the vm shouldn't be required anywhere, BRL-CAD nominally builds on most platforms, it might just be a little easier
19:35.54 andromeda-galaxy since it alread has all of the necessary dependencies installed
19:36.13 andromeda-galaxy can you pastebin the error panel? I think it's quite likelythat you're missing a library that BRL-CAD needs
19:37.00 smt The C compiler identification is unknown
19:37.00 smt The CXX compiler identification is unknown
19:37.00 smt CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:133 (project):
19:37.00 smt <PROTECTED>
19:37.00 smt CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:133 (project):
19:37.00 smt <PROTECTED>
19:37.01 smt Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
19:37.01 smt See also "E:/brlcad-7.24.2/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".
19:37.02 smt See also "E:/brlcad-7.24.2/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log".
19:37.21 smt dis is what is shown in d error panel!
19:37.31 andromeda-galaxy okay, do you have a C compiler installed?
19:38.19 smt i am not sure
19:38.24 andromeda-galaxy i.e. mingw or cygwin or Microsoft Visual Studio C/C++?
19:38.28 smt codeblocks is der
19:38.34 smt ya ya
19:38.39 smt its installed
19:39.11 andromeda-galaxy hmmm
19:39.29 andromeda-galaxy I'm guessing that the C compiler that codeblocks installs isn't being located by CMake
19:39.48 andromeda-galaxy probably because Windows (unlike Linux) doesn't have standard install paths for things like thata
19:39.58 smt okay so shud i install one here
19:40.04 andromeda-galaxy that might be good
19:40.18 andromeda-galaxy I don't know much about codeblocks, is it possible for you to import the project into codeblocks
19:40.25 andromeda-galaxy and have codeblocks to the configure step for you?
19:40.55 MarcTannous andromeda-galaxy: AFAIK, I don't think you can
19:40.57 smt wont dat complicate .....i might rathar intall turboC or sumthng like dat here....
19:41.01 MarcTannous But I might be wrong
19:41.23 smt i hope it shud work...isnt?
19:41.28 andromeda-galaxy ah..
19:41.30 MarcTannous smt: Even if you manage to configure & compile on windows you might have a hard time afterwards. I'd say you should consider insatlling the VM
19:41.41 MarcTannous installing*
19:41.43 andromeda-galaxy yeah, then you either need to figure out the path to the codeblocks C and manually fill that into the window
19:41.44 smt ya i will try dat also
19:41.53 andromeda-galaxy or install another C compiler
19:42.01 smt hmm....
19:42.04 andromeda-galaxy the vm will work but it'll be *really* slow
19:42.38 MarcTannous It should get you through most of the tasks though
19:42.38 smt n one more thing ....shud i go ahead building in windows or in linux...which will be better for later activities?
19:42.44 MarcTannous smt: linux, no doubt
19:43.57 andromeda-galaxy I would say linux is much better as well, BRL-CAD has support for windows but it isn't as well tested as that for linux
19:44.02 smt so for linux also does d procedure remain same....Debian VM?
19:44.08 Stragus You can set the PATH variable on Windows as well, for gcc/g++/etc to be found
19:44.23 andromeda-galaxy well, if you already have a native linux box, try just cmake configuring on that
19:44.24 MarcTannous Stragus: Wouldn't you also recommend Linux for solving the tasks though?
19:44.33 Stragus I would recommend Linux for anything
19:44.35 andromeda-galaxy you might have to install packages for GCC/G++/...
19:44.44 smt hmm...ok andro
19:44.49 andromeda-galaxy Stragus: that would work too for windows
19:45.29 smt Andro: install packages for GCC/G++ ??
19:46.10 MarcTannous smt: please upload the contents of E:/brlcad-7.24.2/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log to pastebin.com
19:46.13 Stragus I assume codeblocks came with GCC installed, but the bin directory wasn't added to the PATH variable, and so it isn't found by default
19:46.30 andromeda-galaxy smt: if on linux
19:46.37 andromeda-galaxy you use a package manager to install/remove software...
19:46.51 andromeda-galaxy gcc and g++ are c andn c++ compilers
19:47.10 MarcTannous and considering BRL-CAD runs on those two, that's probably why you get the error
19:47.13 Stragus On Windows, you could create a .bat file with set PATH=C:\foo\bin\ followed by ccmake and such
19:47.44 Stragus There's a way to set the global PATH variable too, but it might have changed since Windows 98 (... I don't use Windows much)
19:48.04 MarcTannous Windows 8.1 is very coder-unfriendly if you are on this OS
19:48.17 smt Marc: E:/CMake/cmake-3.1.0-rc3-win32-x86/bin/cmake.exe E:/brlcad-7.24.2
19:48.18 smt The system is: Windows - 6.2 - AMD64
19:48.18 smt E:/CMake/cmake-3.1.0-rc3-win32-x86/bin/cmake.exe E:/brlcad-7.24.2
19:48.24 andromeda-galaxy MarcTannous: Windows* is coder unfriendly
19:48.43 MarcTannous Meh, previous versions were at least trying
19:48.57 andromeda-galaxy yeah, but nothing is as good as my custom gentoo install
19:49.05 MarcTannous If I wasn't doing design-related activities I would uninstall Windows ASAP.
19:49.13 smt Marc: m on win8
19:49.38 andromeda-galaxy Stragus: for doing the "profile NURBS prep performance" task
19:49.41 MarcTannous smt: If you want to keep trying to compile it on Windows, try doing what Stragus said, it should solve this issue
19:49.48 andromeda-galaxy is using linux's 'pref' (instead of oprofile) okay?
19:49.56 smt hmmm sure andro
19:50.32 Stragus 'pref'? Do you mean gprof?
19:50.39 Stragus oprofile is fantastic, I wouldn't normally recommend anything else
19:51.15 Stragus gprof can only give you the time spent *per*call* and for tiny functions, the profiler's overhead can be bigger than the function itself
19:51.27 Stragus oprofile uses kernel-based sampling, it's magic
19:51.36 andromeda-galaxy no, 'pref'
19:51.42 Stragus Never heard of it
19:51.44 andromeda-galaxy soorry 'perf'
19:51.48 MarcTannous "it's magic " my experience with Linux in a nutshell
19:51.59 andromeda-galaxy Stragus: https://perf.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page
19:52.06 andromeda-galaxy it seems like it's better developed than oprofile
19:52.27 andromeda-galaxy and I don't have to recompile my kernel to use it... I don't usually mind recompiling (used to it from Gentoo), but it takes so *long*...
19:52.51 Stragus andromeda-galaxy: Neat, seems similar to oprofile overall
19:53.02 Stragus Just compile the module
19:53.18 andromeda-galaxy would work.. I just thought that perf seemed better maintained &c so why not try it out
19:53.36 andromeda-galaxy then I'd submit both the raw recording from perf and some nice images of e.g. call graphs
19:53.44 Stragus It's possible. I tend to stick to the tools I know (and I love oprofile), but this perf looks okay
19:53.45 andromeda-galaxy (narrowed to prep specificially)
19:54.04 andromeda-galaxy I don't know either oprofile or perf that well, so I thought I might as well try it out
19:54.23 Stragus :) Sure, let me know how it goes, it seems promising

19:54.48 andromeda-galaxy Stragus: okay, I will...
19:55.15 andromeda-galaxy that is, if my geometry is large enough to makae any impact.... 0.000133 seconds for prep on the hardest model I could find
19:55.32 andromeda-galaxy for that task would submitting the perf.data file + some nice visualizations of the result be good?
19:55.48 Stragus Profiling requires several seconds/minutes of runtime
19:56.50 Stragus You could make a bigger model, perhaps by duplicating the geometry of one you have 50000 times (at different points in space)
19:57.04 andromeda-galaxy might work
19:57.10 andromeda-galaxy I couldn't find many good NURBS models anywhere
19:57.37 Stragus Once you have a big model, you could also "prep" in a loop until you get 5-10 minutes of runtime
19:57.44 Stragus You could profile accurately from that
19:57.45 ``Erik I believe starseeker has a couple NURBS geometries that are pretty rough... one is an "open source" mobile phone
19:57.46 andromeda-galaxy I could copy the hardest one I found (nurb_box test) a bunch in an otherwise-empty database...
19:58.06 andromeda-galaxy ``Erik: interesting... any idea if he has them up somewhere I can get to them?
19:58.33 andromeda-galaxy Stragus, ``Erik: also, I couldn't find any information on how to run prep separately from the rest of `rt'...
20:00.13 ``Erik andromeda-galaxy: I don't believe so, but the phone one was downloaded from the internet... he has a human and a truck as well, but I don't know if he can give them to you
20:00.32 ``Erik you could always write a small program that just calls the prep routine
20:01.07 andromeda-galaxy ``Erik: true... open the db,
20:01.13 andromeda-galaxy find the specific object, call prep?
20:01.20 ``Erik yup
20:01.42 andromeda-galaxy is the overhead of calling prep on a combination
20:01.44 andromeda-galaxy too big?
20:01.58 andromeda-galaxy i.e. if there's a combination of 50 nurbs objects, the prep time should still be dominated by the nurbs prep, right?
20:02.05 ``Erik I wrote a small program a while back that does a super minimal prep/shoot set called "rtcmp", http://sourceforge.net/p/brlcad/code/HEAD/tree/rtcmp/trunk/
20:02.12 ``Erik oh yeah
20:02.33 ``Erik the comb prep part is miniscule, NURBS will easily dominate the time
20:02.43 andromeda-galaxy okay, good
20:02.56 andromeda-galaxy I'll look at rtcmp some...
20:03.03 ``Erik http://sourceforge.net/p/brlcad/code/HEAD/tree/rtcmp/trunk/rt/rt.c and check out rt_constructor
20:05.01 andromeda-galaxy so just get an rt_i (from gettree) and call prep on it?
20:05.03 andromeda-galaxy seems simple
20:05.19 andromeda-galaxy I still have a thing left from profiling some analysis performance that gets the db open...
