03:41.25 whk hi guys, so im on this task to compile and install brl cad from source code
03:41.39 whk but im not exactly sure where to start
03:42.20 whk like obtaining the source
03:43.03 whk is it fine if i simply download the zip file from sourceforge? tortoisesvn is telling me that the wiki link is invalid
04:13.51 brlcad whk: if you have tortoisesvn, you just need to point it at our repo url (which is not the wiki)
04:13.54 brlcad ~cadsvn
04:13.55 infobot To obtain BRL-CAD from Subversion: svn checkout https://svn.code.sourceforge.net/p/brlcad/code/brlcad/trunk brlcad
04:16.10 brlcad kintel: if you see more students like dklfkd, you can ask them for the task url
04:18.25 whk oh thanks
04:19.18 kintel brlcad: thx - I was a bit slow and didn’t realize this was a GCI thing - just reacted to my openscad alert ;)
04:20.39 brlcad kintel: just fyi, there's a few openscad related tasks that we could easily mentor like modeling particular objects, finding and properly reporting a bug, fixing something simple, etc .. and of course under no expectation or obligation to help them
04:24.20 kintel not sure how finding memory leaks in openscad made it onto that task list though, but probably good valgrind training
04:25.47 brlcad it's a general valgrind task and it listed a handful of CAx tools they could choose from
04:26.15 brlcad there is a specific task to install and run openscad, 10 kids have completed that one so far
04:26.22 brlcad couple modeling tutorials
04:26.52 brlcad 11 models
04:30.44 brlcad here's one of the tutorials: http://openscadtutorial.blogspot.in/2016/12/openscad-program-used-to-make-3-d-models.html

14:26.21 whk hi, sorry to bother but i can't run cmake to build it
14:26.32 whk when i try to follow the steps this error shows up
14:27.13 whk http://pastebin.com/ZUR90vuG
14:37.40 caen23 whk: the error message says that `cl` was not found in your path, and that you should run CMake from the Visual Studio Developer prompt
14:37.49 caen23 whk: on what version of windows are you?
14:39.41 caen23 brlcad: maybe a good task would be to update the wiki page with instructions for building on windows?
14:41.48 Notify 03BRL-CAD:starseeker * 69268 (brlcad/trunk/src/proc-db/CMakeLists.txt brlcad/trunk/src/proc-db/gtimes.c): Fix build.
14:43.31 caen23 whk: either way, see if this helps you https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms229859(v=vs.110).aspx
14:44.05 caen23 it should open a command prompt similar to the one you normally see, but this one should have the path properly set for using the ms compiler (cl)

16:01.38 amarjeet Done, Just check it out.
16:02.56 arsh_ can i send my design in svg format ?
16:07.24 amarjeet Yes, Just it should have layered (I think its groups in case of svg) structure . So, that design can be easily formatted later

17:09.08 whk_ my wifi got downed
17:09.32 d_rossberg whk: in the start menu: programs -> visual studio -> visual studio tools -> choose your preferred command line environment there
17:09.50 d_rossberg or use the cmake gui as i do
17:12.00 whk_ oh
17:12.03 whk_ ok
17:12.36 caen23 whk_: did you open the dev command prompt?
17:13.30 whk_ yep
17:13.39 whk_ wait how do i choose the preferred
17:13.46 whk_ environment
17:13.55 whk_ is it according to that websites instructions
17:14.28 caen23 in that folder, you should have two icons, you "choose" by opening the one you want
17:14.38 whk_ oh
17:14.46 whk_ between dev and the other one
17:14.59 whk_ msbuild
17:15.36 caen23 yes, choose the dev one, go into the folder where you cloned the brlacd trunk, create a new directory, go inside it, type `cmake ..`, and it should work
17:15.54 whk_ it doesn't though
17:15.59 caen23 if it complains about cl again, can you please type `cl` at the prompt and tell me what you get?
17:16.06 whk_ ok lemme try
17:17.36 whk_ its not recognised?
17:18.13 caen23 hmm... it appears the dev command prompt did not set the correct paths
17:18.44 whk_ how do i fix that?
17:19.00 caen23 when you installed visual studio, did you select the checkboxes for visual c++ development?
17:19.15 whk_ hm im not sure
17:19.21 whk_ where do i check
17:19.26 whk_ i did the standard one
17:19.31 caen23 from what i can remember, they should be off by default
17:19.36 whk_ oh
17:19.55 whk_ where can i check
17:20.07 caen23 `C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin`
17:20.13 caen23 do you have a cl.exe in there?
17:20.17 caen23 assuming you have vs2015
17:20.32 caen23 if you don't have vs2015, you should replace 14.0 with something else (12.0 or whatever)
17:21.32 whk_ hm
17:21.36 whk_ lemme see
17:22.43 whk_ x86 or no
17:23.03 whk_ because i have two instances of microsoft visual studio 12.0
17:23.10 whk_ and i have 11.0 and 14.0 too
17:23.12 whk_ somehow
17:23.24 caen23 yes, it's messed up like that, it installs a lot of stuff
17:23.31 caen23 if u have 14.0, that's what interests you
17:23.42 caen23 i'm not sure about x86 or no, i would say check both
17:23.52 caen23 i only have a 32-bit vm, so i can't be sure
17:24.30 whk_ ok
17:25.04 whk_ c1.exe isnt here
17:25.28 whk_ ok
17:25.47 caen23 ok, then you didn't install the c++ tools when you installed visual studio
17:25.48 whk_ so it wasnt installed?
17:25.51 whk_ yea
17:25.56 caen23 you need to "repair" the installation, or however they call it
17:26.04 whk_ oh
17:26.05 whk_ how
17:26.40 caen23 download the kit again, and when you get to the part where it asks about features, expand the "Visual C++" tree and send me a screenshot, if you can
17:27.15 caen23 or you can just select the entire tree, if disk space isn't an issue
17:27.26 caen23 but i usually pick the stuff i need from there

17:28.54 whk further apologies
17:29.02 whk my computer died early
17:29.14 caen23 don't worry about it
17:29.18 whk so basically reinstall?
17:29.50 whk what kit do i download?
17:30.11 caen23 i think the community edtition one should do
17:30.27 caen23 or whichever one you used when you first installed it
17:30.32 whk oh
17:30.39 whk but i have to do it all over
17:31.07 caen23 i know, it's a pita, but it's the only way :(
17:31.17 whk oh well

17:31.27 whk guess i might be continuing this another day then
17:31.34 whk the installation process is far too long
