17:51.02 caen23 starseeker: i sent another patch, some missing casts in `librt/cache.c` are breaking compilation
17:51.06 caen23 lots of complaints on gci :D
18:12.17 Apra @caen23: are you free?
18:12.24 caen23 yes, what's up?
18:13.31 Apra Did you see my msg...I had sent you in the morning?
18:13.44 caen23 the one about cmake and vs?
18:14.17 Apra I am sorry I dont know what your time zone but i sent it about 10hours ago
18:14.34 Apra yeah
18:14.51 Apra right cmake and visual studio
18:14.55 caen23 i'll need some more info, how is cmake crashing specifically, and what version of windows are you on?
18:16.40 Apra windows 7 64 bit
18:16.53 caen23 what installer did you use for vs?
18:16.54 Apra and the error reads like this:
18:17.04 Apra installer?
18:17.14 Apra didn't get you
18:17.38 caen23 uhm... how did you install visual studio?
18:17.45 caen23 or how did you attempt to install it, rather
18:18.21 Apra ohk...downloaded it the community version
18:19.02 caen23 so you got it from the microsoft website, right?
18:19.11 caen23 also, do paste the error message you wanted to show me earlier
18:19.14 Apra yep
18:19.43 Apra I used the file I had downloaded 2-3 days ago
18:20.12 Apra I tried to find in stack-overflow and googled it...
18:20.26 caen23 please send me the error message
18:20.44 caen23 copy/paste, or a screenshot if you can
18:22.32 Apra It said windows requires a newer version
18:22.48 *** join/#brlcad ickby (~stefan@x5d844e4c.dyn.telefonica.de)
18:22.54 caen23 then maybe you are behind on the windows updates
18:23.14 caen23 are you on sp1?
18:24.09 Apra Let me check...shall dxdiag tell it?
18:24.32 caen23 uhm... not sure
18:24.47 Apra No...it doesn't
18:25.01 Apra wait let me check properties
18:25.15 caen23 you could open a command prompt, type `ver` and paste the string here
18:25.59 caen23 or Start > Computer > Properties, it should say Service Pack 1 around there somewhere
18:26.26 Apra Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]
18:26.43 caen23 another thing... what version of win 7 is it? home premium? professional? ultimate?
18:26.58 Apra ultimate
18:28.53 Apra Well were you busy yesterday? till about 4 am IST?
18:29.19 caen23 yeah, so i think that's the issue. vs 2015 requires win 7 sp1 or later, and i think you don't have sp1
18:29.25 caen23 yes i was busy
18:29.48 Apra Yeah,
18:30.07 Apra so now i think i have to search for windows update, right?
18:31.22 caen23 you have many options, either update your windows to sp1, or find an older version of visual studio, or maybe do the task inside a vm
18:31.50 caen23 whichever you prefer, or is faster
18:32.40 Apra see i tried using a vb...didn't work
18:33.42 caen23 an older vb?
18:33.43 Apra Thinking to update..what do u say?
18:33.52 Apra ohk, link?
18:33.57 caen23 oh, sorry, virtual box. i keep forgetting what that is :D
18:34.34 caen23 how did virtualbox not work? what was the error?
18:36.01 Apra some peculiar type of screen came i dont know its technical name....some kind of colors(type of a rainbow) appeared with many letters scattered on the screen
18:38.21 caen23 did you try to install a specific os inside virtualbox?
18:39.26 Apra it didnt appear...like we get the dialog box in ubuntu which says install or try...it didn't appear...the color screen appeared before it
18:40.42 caen23 then could you try to install virtualbox again, download an iso of debian, and try to install debian this time?
18:40.51 caen23 and if things don't work, maybe send a screenshot?
18:40.56 Apra well i updated sp1..still saying requires newer version
18:41.15 caen23 are you sure you updated properly? send the output of `ver` again
18:41.25 Apra ohk...what about brl-cad for virtual machines?
18:41.28 caen23 i would expect a restart to be required
18:41.42 caen23 yes, you could try that as well
18:42.06 Apra Yes i restarted it
18:58.49 *** join/#brlcad Apra_ (75c85b25@gateway/web/freenode/ip.117.200.91.37)
19:08.24 Notify 03BRL-CAD:starseeker * 69285 brlcad/trunk/src/librt/cache.c: Apply patch #453 from Cezar to fix a build issue.
19:27.03 caen23 so i just compiled the latest sources successfully on macos, hopefully people won't complain about compilation errors in the near future ^^
19:27.22 caen23 i'll start a build on windows as well
19:42.41 Apra_ @caen23, shall I try to run BRL-CAD using BRL-CAD for virtual machines?
19:43.15 Apra_ or rather like you said use.....Debian for virtual box?
19:43.39 caen23 you shall try to compile using the vm. first try to install the brl-cad vm inside virtualbox
19:45.08 Apra_ with vm do u mean virtual machines or vm-ware?
19:45.33 caen23 virtual machine
19:46.21 Apra_ ohk
19:47.21 Apra_ and is there a way like try to make a bootable usb and then run the os in boot menu?
19:49.39 caen23 uhm... you don't need to make a bootable usb. just select the vm you downloaded when you're creating a new vm in virtualbox, and it should work
19:52.50 Apra_ Actually during these days I researched many things about vb and all :)
19:53.08 Apra_ so just sharing some ideas with you :D
19:59.42 caen23 nice :D
20:20.18 caen23 heh, successful compilation on vs 2015 as well <3
20:20.39 caen23 no better time to start working on those tasks :P :P
20:23.03 Apra are the msgs for me?
20:24.11 caen23 for everyone
20:24.39 Apra ohk
20:25.36 Apra Anyways I am going to sleep, have an exam tomorrow
20:26.47 caen23 good luck
20:27.00 Apra Thanks

20:45.03 nmz787 howdy
20:45.05 nmz787 anyone here?
20:46.57 nmz787 just have a general usage question
20:47.37 nmz787 but I wanted to chat about it, and also can wait as I trace my TCL script to make sure I'm doing what I think I should
20:50.04 caen23 hi nmz787
20:50.17 caen23 what do you want to chat about?
20:51.48 *** join/#brlcad ickby (~stefan@x5d844e4c.dyn.telefonica.de)
20:56.24 nmz787 wondering right now if unions might not work with adjacent items, say an rpp(point1, point2) and another rpp(point2, point3) (where in space, they are all sequential, such that point 1 and 3 are opposite point 2... in other words point 2 should be common, maybe even share a whole egde in common not just that point)
20:59.34 nmz787 also, other than generating an STL, how do I export a raytraced screenshot, such that I should see whether unions failed to smooth boundaries between primitives? In MGED now, I see the primitives, and it makes me wonder if things failed to connect up
21:01.33 nmz787 I can pass my current TCL script that generates my model... I make a bunch of stuff, then combine, union, subtract, etc... finally I make a region from a subtraction... then I take slices of that (union the region with a rpp slice), but I see the slices are combinations, so maybe they need to be regions

21:19.30 nmz787 ah, right, File then Raytrace
21:24.48 *** join/#brlcad ickby (~stefan@x5d844e4c.dyn.telefonica.de)
21:33.13 nmz787 so now it seems I need to learn how to drive the 'rt' program from the command-line
21:33.59 nmz787 I have the X,Y coordinates of my viewport, and know I want to look from Z, both down and up for a given slice... and export both views (looking up, looking down)
21:34.20 nmz787 I got two raytrace .sh files
21:34.37 nmz787 but am not sure how to set the viewing area to my X,Y bounding coords
21:36.05 nmz787 reads man page
22:11.56 nmz787 is there a way to temporarily hide the red wireframe in mged, other than using the Z command?
22:12.13 nmz787 (i.e. after raytracing, I want to hide the wireframe)
22:12.27 nmz787 (then be able to turn it back on at the view/angle I was just at)
22:12.42 nmz787 while Z then e on the object, will reset the view/angle
