| 02:36.19 | whk | hi guys, so i kinda run into a problem |
| 02:36.32 | whk | i tried repairing visual studio but this time |
| 02:36.36 | whk | my dev command prompt is gone |
| 02:37.01 | whk | oh nvm |
| 02:37.08 | whk | somehow the search glitched |
| 03:36.12 | *** join/#brlcad whk (3aea7102@gateway/web/freenode/ip.58.234.113.2) | |
| 03:36.21 | whk | the confiuration failed |
| 03:36.29 | whk | i observed a lot of tests failed |
| 03:41.05 | whk | it told me to replace the old configuration and INSTALL files so i'll go see if that works |
| 04:14.45 | whk | oh it does |
| 04:14.46 | whk | great |
| 04:15.19 | whk | now i cant make though |
| 04:31.03 | whk | make is not a command apparently |
| 04:34.33 | Stragus | On Windows, I don't think you'll typically have GNU Make installed |
| 04:35.04 | Stragus | It's probably part of mingw64 package... but I assume the task about building with Visual Studio would imply building with the VS tools rather than GNU ones |
| 04:40.27 | whk | oh |
| 04:40.38 | whk | ok |
| 04:40.46 | whk | so how would i do it without gnu make |
| 04:54.49 | whk | nvm |
| 04:54.59 | whk | installing this mingw64 instead |
| 05:34.07 | whk | thanks |

| 09:11.03 | caen23 | after running cmake, in your build directory, do you have a file with a .sln extension? |
| 09:11.25 | whk | lemme see |
| 09:11.26 | whk | nope |
| 09:11.36 | caen23 | how did you run cmake? |
| 09:11.42 | caen23 | gui or cli? |
| 09:12.09 | whk | command prompt |
| 09:13.25 | caen23 | what arguments? |
| 09:13.36 | whk | cmake .. |
| 09:14.04 | whk | i asked if this was it the other time, im not really sure if this is enough |
| 09:14.34 | whk | considering how theres nothing i told it to build |
| 09:14.49 | caen23 | try the steps here http://brlcad.org/wiki/Compiling#Configure_your_Build |
| 09:15.12 | caen23 | it uses the CMakeList file by default, that's how it figures out what and how to build |
| 09:16.37 | whk | oh |
| 09:16.40 | whk | oh ok |
| 09:17.01 | whk | thanks |
| 09:17.09 | whk | by the way |
| 09:17.15 | whk | there's a crap ton of failed tests |
| 09:17.18 | whk | is that fine? |
| 09:17.27 | whk | when i ran cmake |
| 09:17.41 | whk | a lot of tests failed or files cldnt be found |
| 09:18.17 | caen23 | it should be fine, i think it's because it's testing for linux stuff, which it won't find on windows |

| 09:24.44 | whk | may i know what they mean and how to fix them? |
| 09:25.07 | whk | oh yea and by the way i followed an instruction from cmake earlier |
| 09:25.11 | whk | im not sure if thats the cause |
| 09:25.16 | whk | let me try to revert this change |
| 09:26.13 | caen23 | you should clean your build directory and try again |
| 09:26.18 | caen23 | with the commands from the wiki |
| 09:29.40 | whk | oh ok |
| 09:29.46 | whk | welp |
| 09:29.49 | whk | i already started it |
| 09:29.55 | whk | will the error show up again? |
| 09:31.30 | caen23 | started what? |
| 09:32.37 | whk | the cmake |
| 09:32.43 | whk | apologies |
| 09:32.53 | caen23 | without cleaning the build directory? also, no need to apologize ^^ |
| 09:33.19 | whk | yea with the build directory left unchanged |
| 09:33.33 | caen23 | uh, if it fails, clean it and try again |
| 09:33.38 | caen23 | i don't know if it will fail |
| 09:33.43 | whk | its just |
| 09:33.44 | whk | stuck |
| 09:33.56 | whk | i probably shld go close the window |
| 09:34.11 | caen23 | what window? |
| 09:34.13 | whk | its still running the tests |
| 09:34.17 | whk | the command prompt |
| 09:34.21 | whk | how do i cancel this? |
| 09:34.50 | whk | oh never mind |
| 09:34.53 | whk | its continuing |
| 09:37.04 | caen23 | it's a bit slower on windows, don't worry |
| 09:37.18 | whk | ok |
| 09:37.24 | whk | oh dear |
| 09:37.27 | whk | its the same error |
| 09:37.34 | whk | yep |
| 09:38.13 | caen23 | ok, clean the build directory now and try again |
| 09:39.52 | whk | yea |

| 10:26.08 | whk | its outdated |
| 10:26.56 | caen23 | oh, ok then |
| 10:27.23 | whk | wait a second did i just |
| 10:27.39 | whk | oh gosh i forgot to clear build again |

| 10:29.02 | whk | i dont have to do make? |
| 10:29.10 | caen23 | nope |
| 10:29.34 | caen23 | do you have a file named BRLCAD.sln in the build dir? |
| 10:31.06 | whk | yea |
| 10:31.09 | whk | ok |
| 10:31.18 | caen23 | open it in visual studio |
| 10:31.22 | whk | ok |
| 10:31.42 | whk | is this where i install it? |
| 10:31.48 | caen23 | you should then have a panel on the right, with lots of files (targets) in some folders |
| 10:32.28 | caen23 | start collapsing the folders, until you see a target named ALL_BUILD |
| 10:32.36 | caen23 | then right click the target, and choose Build |
| 10:32.51 | caen23 | it's gonna start a (long) build process, hopefully |
| 10:33.42 | whk | oh |
| 10:33.44 | whk | wow |
| 10:33.48 | whk | its really laggy |
| 10:34.00 | whk | a long one? |
| 10:34.32 | caen23 | yes |
| 10:34.42 | caen23 | it's normal to be laggy, too |
| 10:35.12 | whk | oh wow |
| 10:35.17 | whk | thats a lot of files |
| 10:35.24 | caen23 | yup |
| 10:35.27 | whk | targets* |
| 10:35.45 | whk | how long u reckon thisll take? |
| 10:36.20 | caen23 | it took half an hour for me, inside a virtual machine |
| 10:36.25 | whk | oh |
| 10:36.29 | whk | but its a vm |
| 10:36.35 | caen23 | don't know how long it will take you |
| 10:36.39 | whk | ok |
| 10:37.12 | caen23 | by the way, you can grab the blue strip above the compilation output, and drag it to the middle of the vs window |
| 10:37.21 | caen23 | it should make the output full screen, so you can see it better |
| 10:41.01 | whk | oh |
| 10:41.04 | whk | ok |
| 10:43.24 | caen23 | after that is done, you should type `Release\bin\archer.exe` at the command prompt in the build directory. if it opens the program, great. if it doesn't, don't panic. |

| 16:00.35 | amarjeet | Submit, it according to description of task or Try something new for back. |
| 16:01.45 | Apra | Yeah, I too feel that the back is feeling empty...but i am not getting any idea |
| 16:04.58 | *** join/#brlcad whk (3aea7102@gateway/web/freenode/ip.58.234.113.2) | |
| 16:14.06 | Apra | @amarjeet, what about writing the irc #brlcad at the back? |
| 16:16.01 | *** join/#brlcad ARChak (~vircuser@117.200.94.151) | |

| 16:24.59 | *** part/#brlcad ryoshu (~kamil@netbsd/developer/kamil) | |
| 16:47.01 | amarjeet | Apra, It would be great for brlcad's shirt design |
| 16:50.37 | Apra | ok can i resubmit it? |
| 16:54.08 | *** join/#brlcad caen23 (~caen23@86.124.46.123) | |
| 17:04.16 | Apra | Amarjeet, I've submitted it, making some changes :) |
| 17:05.03 | amarjeet | Okay, |
| 18:25.31 | Apra | @caen23, I am interested in eliminating 50lines of code duplication... |
| 18:27.16 | Apra | Can u tell me whats the difference between building from SVN and compiling |
| 18:40.03 | caen23 | Apra: they're the same thing |
| 18:40.20 | caen23 | SVN is the place where you get the source code from |
| 18:40.26 | caen23 | the source code, you compile |
| 18:41.30 | caen23 | what i was saying earlier today is that whk did not get the latest sources from svn, but an archive containing the code for version 7.26.0, which is several months behind |
| 18:42.58 | Apra | ohk |
| 18:45.07 | Apra | Suppose I compile brlcad using its vm |
| 18:46.33 | Apra | Since I am low on space I won't be able to compile the vm now... |
| 18:47.01 | Apra | Anyways then I would have to use Simian? |
| 18:50.42 | Apra | or Coverity Scan? |
| 18:52.40 | caen23 | well, you don't *have* to use a specific tool |
| 18:52.54 | caen23 | Simian was mentioned in the task description as a starting point |
| 18:53.03 | caen23 | you're free to go about it however you want |
| 18:53.42 | Apra | Can I use Coverity Scan in Linux? |
| 18:54.43 | Apra | Actually I meant in the virtual disk of BrlCAD |
| 18:54.57 | caen23 | i'm not sure about the specifics of coverity scan |
| 18:55.37 | Apra | I saw https://brlcad.org/wiki/Code_Cleanup#Duplication_Reduction |
| 18:56.06 | Apra | and some screenshots of coverity scan |
| 18:56.59 | caen23 | https://scan.coverity.com/projects/brl-cad |
| 18:57.08 | caen23 | last analyzed 2012 |
| 18:57.53 | caen23 | i don't exactly know how to use it, but unless you can trigger a scan of the source code as it is now, i'm not sure if it's of much help |
| 18:58.08 | caen23 | i would say wait for one of the other mentors to answer this |
| 18:58.36 | caen23 | or you could just stick with simian at first |
| 18:59.01 | Apra | can you give me the link to simian? |
| 18:59.25 | caen23 | and by the way, if this is your first coding task, or the first time you're building a project from source, you might want to attempt one of those tasks before you go after this one |
| 19:00.18 | Apra | Yeah...it would be my first codeing task |
| 19:00.20 | caen23 | link to Simian is on the wiki page you linked to |
| 19:00.29 | caen23 | first paragraph |
| 19:01.32 | Apra | I got it |
| 19:03.03 | Apra | I tried compiling LibreCAD, BRL-CAD before, but i am using windows, so the mentors suggested using LINUX/UBUNTU...I tried them using VB but it didnt start... |
| 19:03.49 | caen23 | what is VB? |
| 19:03.54 | caen23 | oh, virtual box? |
| 19:04.18 | Apra | tried installing, some GRUB error was displayed....anyhow got into UBUNTU, but windows got corrupted, reinstalled windows, Ubuntu didnt cooperate |
| 19:04.36 | Apra | yeah virtual box |
| 19:04.53 | caen23 | by "got into ubuntu", you mean you tried to dual boot it with windows? |
| 19:05.03 | Apra | Yeah, exactly |
| 19:05.19 | caen23 | yeah, that might not be ideal |
| 19:05.33 | Apra | yeah |
| 19:05.45 | caen23 | you can install whatever flavour of linux you want |
| 19:05.46 | Apra | in a result wasted this weekend |
| 19:06.00 | caen23 | inside virtualbox |
| 19:06.12 | caen23 | if the one provided did not work |
| 19:07.09 | caen23 | you could also compile under windows, the steps are almost the same |
| 19:07.12 | caen23 | except the last one |
| 19:07.20 | Apra | I am thinking of trying Brlcad for Virtual machines |
| 19:08.05 | caen23 | the file there is a virtual machine itself |
| 19:08.14 | caen23 | with a copy of the code, which needs to be updated anyway |
| 19:08.44 | caen23 | oh, by the way |
| 19:09.01 | caen23 | if you're on windows, you could install hyper-v |
| 19:09.38 | caen23 | it's a hypervisor (virtual machine management software) made by microsoft, distributed with windows |
| 19:10.12 | Apra | ohk |
| 19:10.38 | caen23 | i prefer it on windows, because i don't have to download separate software |
| 19:11.19 | caen23 | but like i said above, you could also compile under windows |
| 19:12.50 | Apra | can u tell me the steps? |
| 19:12.58 | Apra | for windows |
| 19:13.34 | caen23 | http://brlcad.org/wiki/Compiling#Download_BRL-CAD |
| 19:14.13 | caen23 | the commands listed under Download BRLCAD and Configure Your Build |
| 19:16.39 | Apra | another question what is cmake? |
| 19:19.14 | Apra | Do you mean this command :svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/brlcad/code/brlcad/trunk brlcad-svn-trunk |
| 19:19.51 | caen23 | cmake is a tool that gathers information about your build environment (what compiler you have, what features are available, and so on), and generates some files which can used to build the project |
| 19:20.27 | caen23 | the svn command downloads a copy of the current source code of brl-cad |
| 19:20.43 | caen23 | cmake, you can download from their website |
| 19:21.33 | Apra | do i need to run this code in cmd? |
| 19:21.54 | caen23 | yes |
| 19:22.31 | caen23 | you'll need to install Visual Studio with support for Visual C++, CMake, and Tortoise SVN |
| 19:25.55 | Apra | virtualstudio.com? |
| 19:27.09 | caen23 | yes |
| 19:27.14 | caen23 | the community edition is fine |
| 19:28.22 | Apra | But it stays that tortoise svn's plugins cannot be used on a free version of visual studio |
| 19:29.16 | caen23 | you don't need the plugins which integrate with tortoise |
| 19:30.21 | caen23 | you only need it to download the source code, either from explorer.exe or from the command prompt |
| 19:31.06 | Apra | ok, but i think first u need to accept my task |
| 19:32.11 | caen23 | if it's design related, you should wait for someone else |
| 19:32.34 | Apra | yeah its design related... |
| 19:33.30 | Apra | so i have installed cmake |
| 19:33.43 | Apra | and now im installing the studio |
| 19:35.56 | Apra | will I have to install the tortoise too? |
| 19:36.45 | caen23 | yes |
| 19:37.35 | Apra | Ok, first i need to get 7 Gb space :) |
| 19:40.12 | Apra | So you basically look into codeing tasks? |
| 19:40.28 | caen23 | so far |
| 19:41.27 | Apra | nice :) |
| 19:41.41 | caen23 | the reason i don't evaluate design tasks is because i don't exactly know what to look for, so i don't think i should comment on them, or approve them, or whatever |
| 19:41.56 | Apra | Yeah |
| 19:44.38 | Apra | well, it would be great if u advice me how to deal with the codeing tasks |
| 19:44.42 | *** join/#brlcad andromeda-galaxy (~andromeda@goto.ucsd.edu) | |
| 19:49.13 | Apra | @caen23 Can you wait a bit...actually I am clearing my space :) |
| 19:51.35 | *** join/#brlcad teepee (~teepee@unaffiliated/teepee) | |
| 20:02.28 | andromeda-galaxy | any idea what validCoverage case is exactly supposed to do? The buggy code is the only consumer of it, and the comment isn't super clear to me at least ("Does this error rule out a case as valid when coverage checking?") |
| 20:13.20 | Apra | @caen23 I've installed them, now am I ready? |
| 20:23.50 | caen23 | Apra: yes |
| 20:24.24 | caen23 | andromeda-galaxy: what task is this? |
| 20:24.24 | Apra | ill be here in 2 minutes |
| 20:30.02 | andromeda-galaxy | caen23: agh oops, sorry just realized that went to the wrong place |
| 20:30.31 | andromeda-galaxy | that was about my attempt to fix a coverage-checking bug in the compiler for the Idris language which leads to inconcistency (proofs of Void!) |
| 20:30.37 | andromeda-galaxy | sorry about that |
| 20:30.53 | andromeda-galaxy | hanging around in here to offer the odd bit of mentoring support |
| 20:31.02 | andromeda-galaxy | GCI seems quite this year compared to 2014 |
| 20:31.12 | andromeda-galaxy | *quiet |
| 20:36.04 | caen23 | i agree |
| 20:37.00 | caen23 | i think there have been only 1 or 2 students on irc, and i don't think anyone did much besides compiling the code |
| 20:37.30 | caen23 | at least code-wise, design tasks seem to be quite active |
| 20:43.21 | Apra | I think I have very less memory and hence the studio isnt installing properly |
| 20:44.42 | caen23 | yes, it's pretty big |
| 20:44.55 | Apra | I will try it as soon as i get the laptop...btw is there any other codeing tasks that do not require any extra memory ? |
| 20:45.59 | caen23 | you have to test your changes, so being able to compile is needed |
| 20:46.49 | Apra | i didn't get you |
| 20:47.34 | Apra | oh I got u |
| 20:48.27 | Apra | What about C to OpenCL |
| 20:49.22 | caen23 | those as well |
| 20:49.43 | Apra | https://codein.withgoogle.com/tasks/5116035485138944/?sp-organization=4814441002565632&sp-is_beginner=False&sp-categories=1 |

| 20:49.58 | Apra | Ohh...bad luck |
| 20:54.15 | Apra | btw what do these lines mean :You will probably want these flags when you run CMake: CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release BRLCAD_BUNDLED_LIBS=ON BRLCAD_ENABLE_STRICT=OFF |
| 21:00.36 | caen23 | they're flags. CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE specifies whether you want a Release build or a Debug build (Debug builds contain debug symbols, among other things), and the other two define some macros that brl-cad then uses to decide whether to enable or disable stuff |

| 21:32.24 | Apra | caen23 can I talk about other topics rather than the topics related to task? |
| 21:40.08 | Apra | like how can someone become a mentor etc... |
| 21:49.00 | caen23 | Apra: i was a student in 2012, and brlcad asked me to be a mentor this year |
| 21:49.34 | Apra | ohh... |
| 22:16.47 | andromeda-galaxy | caen23: also used to be a student :) |
| 22:17.05 | andromeda-galaxy | it seems like we don't have as many code tasks as in 2013/14 when I was a student |
| 22:18.20 | andromeda-galaxy | a few more have come up now, but not ton |
| 22:18.22 | andromeda-galaxy | *Tons |
| 22:18.54 | andromeda-galaxy | I guess we got most of libbu/bn tested and also did all of the reasonably low-hanging primitive functions the last few years, so on the downside now we actually have to be inventive about coding tasks |
| 22:20.41 | andromeda-galaxy | brlcad: If http://brlcad.org/wiki/Contributor_Quickies is still up to date, should we throw a bunch of those in as 1-instance gci tasks? |
| 22:20.46 | *** join/#brlcad teepee_ (~teepee@unaffiliated/teepee) | |
| 22:45.34 | caen23 | andromeda-galaxy: there's a spreadsheet with ideas here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hqH-rpKbjUWNAnF8rZvH0JzLzU4qA2pHH1QCA4HjcIw/edit?ts=583552e2#gid=1386834576 |
| 22:47.10 | andromeda-galaxy | caen23: aha that's where that went |
| 22:47.20 | andromeda-galaxy | I got the email but then lost it when my email server had bad problems |
| 22:47.49 | andromeda-galaxy | looks like there are some good ones there since the last time that I looked |
| 22:48.30 | caen23 | yes, a lot of them still need to be written and published on gci |
| 22:49.00 | andromeda-galaxy | so would it be useful if I tried to write up descriptions of some of the ideas there and put them into the codein.withgoogle.com system (so that they can be inspected/published)? |
| 22:49.18 | caen23 | yup |
| 22:50.01 | andromeda-galaxy | cool, will do. is anything without a check mark in PX not yet done, or are some of those already taken/written? |
| 22:50.19 | caen23 | no check mark means it's not yet written |
| 22:50.25 | andromeda-galaxy | cool, thanks |
| 22:50.46 | andromeda-galaxy | do I add myself to 'who' if I write it up? Or is that for the proposer |
| 22:51.40 | caen23 | i thiiink it's if you write it up |
| 22:52.02 | caen23 | i put my name on two of those in the beginning, which i had not come up with |
| 22:52.18 | andromeda-galaxy | okay, makes sense-ish. |
| 22:52.42 | andromeda-galaxy | I missed the first week+ because it was finals week and I had a final every day... Now I am trying to catch up |
