Sean (Dec 04 2019 at 14:31): Sean (Dec 04 2019 at 14:31):@Jeffrey Liu That’s the problem trying to fix windows build errors without windows... Can you provide an updated build log?
Jeffrey Liu (Dec 04 2019 at 16:13):@Sean I'm updating to the most current version and trying again. It looks like the error was because of this but I believe that this has been fixed in the latest revision: C:\Users\JeffL\Downloads\Google Code-in 2019\Source\brlcad\src\libged\bot_dump.c(705,31): warning C4267: c1: fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: 'C:\Users\JeffL\Downloads\Google Code-in 2019\Source\brlcad\src\libged\debug.c': No such file or directory
Jeffrey Liu (Dec 04 2019 at 16:13): Daniel Rossberg (Dec 04 2019 at 16:35):There is no debug.c anymore. It was renamed to debug.cpp. Maybe you need to rerun CMake to get the changed project file in Visual Studio, and to cleanup the libged project there.
Himanshu (Dec 04 2019 at 16:43):@Daniel Rossberg it should shwoing this
BRL-CAD Release 7.30.3, Build 20191204 or 7.30.4 ?
Himanshu (Dec 04 2019 at 16:54):I used cmake .. -DBRLCAD_BUNDLED_LIBS=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release (for a release build)
Daniel Rossberg (Dec 04 2019 at 17:38):Daniel Rossberg it should shwoing this
BRL-CAD Release 7.30.3, Build 20191204or 7.30.4 ?
Mine is 7.30.3, i.e. yours looks okay.
Jeffrey Liu (Dec 04 2019 at 17:39):@Daniel Rossberg yep, sorry I should've clarified that I was building on a past revision at the time. The error seemed to have been due to the fact that another file was still referencing debug.c rather than debug.cpp, but I believe it has been fixed.
Daniel Rossberg (Dec 04 2019 at 17:40):@Himanshu Sekhar Nayak Your rt^3 build looks odd. There is no doc directory in its trunc.
Himanshu (Dec 04 2019 at 17:40):@Daniel Rossberg yeah just checked now there is no doc directory
Himanshu (Dec 04 2019 at 17:41):I went though this https://brlcad.org/wiki/SVN
Daniel Rossberg (Dec 04 2019 at 17:42):@Jeffrey Liu My Visual Studio build was fine with revision 74420.
Daniel Rossberg (Dec 04 2019 at 17:43):@Himanshu Sekhar Nayak I recommend a side-by-side checkout of brlcad/trunk (the usual) and rt^3/trunk.
Himanshu (Dec 04 2019 at 17:44):is rt^3 at revision 74423. ?
Jeffrey Liu (Dec 04 2019 at 17:48):I am recompiling and it should work now, the error occured with revision 74419 I think.
Himanshu (Dec 04 2019 at 17:51):Himanshu Sekhar Nayak I recommend a side-by-side checkout of brlcad/trunk (the usual) and rt^3/trunk.
just done and still there is no doc directory
Daniel Rossberg (Dec 04 2019 at 18:08):is rt^3 at
revision 74423.?
My last commit was the 74409.
SHEU AYOMIDE ABDULAZEEZ (Dec 04 2019 at 22:41):hello Everyone
Jeffrey Liu (Dec 04 2019 at 22:43):Hello!
Jeffrey Liu (Dec 04 2019 at 22:44):r74424 finished compiling successfully for me. @Sean even though the errors are now fixed, could I still submit them for the bug report tasks?
Jeffrey Liu (Dec 04 2019 at 22:46):I don't believe that they were mentioned prior to me reporting the build errors on Zulip.
Sean (Dec 05 2019 at 12:29):r74424 finished compiling successfully for me. Sean even though the errors are now fixed, could I still submit them for the bug report tasks?
Sure, or you can safe it for a different bug later. A compilation bug due to a recent change isn't very "valuable" from a GCI task perspective, but a different bug in a tool or library would be, and even more so if it's one that you fix. The system may only let you claim one, don't recall.
Jeffrey Liu (Dec 05 2019 at 12:43):Oh I see, I'll keep that in mind for the future.
Daniel Rossberg (Mar 15 2023 at 16:24):It looks like the MS Windows build with Visual Studio is broken. I would guess that's because of a broken post build step, but I hadn't time for a deeper look yet.
Nishanth (Mar 23 2023 at 13:39):BRLCAD_CONFIGEXE, where is the file located?
Nishanth (Mar 23 2023 at 13:53):I'm trying to building MOOSE on windows, after configuring I see a lot of entries being "NOTFOUND", but the generation is done, when building I see this errors "cannot open include file"
Should I set the NOTFOUND directories/files manually?
Daniel Rossberg (Mar 23 2023 at 14:14):Did you set BRLCAD_BASE_DIR and BRLCAD_VERSION variables in MOOSE's CMake configuration? CMake should complain, if they are missing.
Daniel Rossberg (Mar 23 2023 at 14:17):It's similar to rt-cubed.
Daniel Rossberg (Mar 23 2023 at 14:19):BTW, the moose_port of arbalest needs BRLCAD_MOOSE_DIR set with the directory of your MOOSE installation.
Nishanth (Mar 23 2023 at 14:23):yes I set BRLCAD_BASEDIR to source root, and BRLCAD_VERSION to the version I found with mged -v
Daniel Rossberg (Mar 23 2023 at 15:27):What is your BRL-CAD version?
Nishanth (Mar 23 2023 at 15:37):7.34.3
Daniel Rossberg (Mar 23 2023 at 15:47):The current Windows build is broken, at least for me. I'll see, if I can switch to a version which works.
BTW, did you install BRL-CAD, i.e. build the INSTALL target in Visual Studio? That's important.
Nishanth (Mar 23 2023 at 15:50):I build the "All Targets", I did not install I guess, the binaries are in BRLCAD_BASEDIR/build/Debug
Daniel Rossberg (Mar 23 2023 at 15:51):But there, they are not at the right place. FindBRLCAD.cmake depends on the directory structure of the installation.
Nishanth (Mar 23 2023 at 15:53):Alright I'll install it then, but can we make FindBRLCAD.cmake to look at non-standard directory
Daniel Rossberg (Mar 23 2023 at 15:55):Okay, in this case, you can try to set the NOTFOUND variables to the right values (not all are needed).
Nishanth (Mar 23 2023 at 15:57):ok
Himanshu (Mar 23 2023 at 16:07):@Nishanth not able to build arbalest yet ?
Nishanth (Mar 23 2023 at 16:14):yes :sweat_smile: , I thought to get bit more familiar with cmake then figure out the issue
Himanshu (Mar 23 2023 at 16:24):@Nishanth you set those variables in cmake gui by adding entry right?
Daniel Rossberg (Mar 23 2023 at 16:24):What's wrong with installing BRL-CAD?
Himanshu (Mar 23 2023 at 16:27):Brlcad build failing? I recently build from fresh commit 2 days ago and the build is fine. What went wrong ?
Daniel Rossberg (Mar 23 2023 at 16:35):Visual Studio 2019? Or, maybe my last CMake config is a week old. I can retry with a clean build tomorrow.
BTW, most binaries were build. But, there are errors (19?), and the INSTALL installs only a few files. I.e., if you don't install the programs, you may see no issues.
Nishanth (Mar 23 2023 at 16:46):Himanshu Sekhar Nayak said:
Nishanth you set those variables in cmake gui by adding entry right?
yes
Nishanth (Mar 23 2023 at 16:47):I'll run Install target and try again

then by now rt-cubed and arbalest both should have been successfully build by now. What problems you are exactly facing? Variables path missing?

Hi @Aqeel Ashraf. Welcome to our community. Once you finalize a project that you want to work on then you can chat with mentors here. Here are some of the project ideas.

Nothing is in red, it gets configured and generated, but when building linking errors occur.
Now after Installing BRLCAD most of the errors are gone but still getting few linking errors for both moose and rt-cubed
Like this, Pipe.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol bu_setjmp_valid
And "ge" target is failing

Can you share a screenshot of what variables you set before building rt-cubed? Are you getting this message after build? ========== Build: 16 succeeded, 2 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ========== Forget about Pipe.obj, ge and bu*. Those are expected. No need to worry about it.
Himanshu (Mar 25 2023 at 13:58):In your vs solution explorer, go to arbalest > source files > main.cpp. Open main.cpp and click on play button above. This will able to open arbalest if you set variable Qt /bin correct. Otherwise it will shows not found some .dll files that are needed for arbalest to run.
Himanshu (Mar 25 2023 at 14:00):If you are able to run main.cpp then it will show arbalest. Screenshot-114.png

Looks like you have installed in C: drive that's why it is not accessible.
Himanshu (Mar 25 2023 at 15:08):Missing files popup because you have to set brlcad base dir path in your environment settings in windows.
Himanshu (Mar 25 2023 at 15:08):You installed qt 5.14.2 ?
Nishanth (Mar 25 2023 at 15:13):Also tried setting brlcad_basedir same results.
My qt version is 5.12.12
Nishanth (Mar 25 2023 at 15:16):also tried running visual studio as administrator

Himanshu (Mar 25 2023 at 15:19):Your qt bin path should be like C:\Users\Himanshu\Desktop\Workspace\brlcadBuild\Debug\bin in Path.
Himanshu (Mar 25 2023 at 15:21):Btw I didn't installed brlcad, only build it and you can find mged in YourBuild\Debug\bin.
Himanshu (Mar 25 2023 at 15:25):Btw in readme it is mentioned to install 5.14.2 https://github.com/BRL-CAD/arbalest#:~:text=Install%20and%20configure%20Qt.%20Qt5.14.2%20has%20been%20used%20for%20development%20of%20this%20project.
Daniel Rossberg (Mar 25 2023 at 15:32):You can copy the BRL-CAD libbn.dll, libbv.dll, libnmg.dll, librt.dll, etc. in the directory where your arbalest.exe is, if their place is not in the PATH environment variable.

You should not do that, and it can cause issues down the road. Just a word of caution. If you did that in the past trying to overcome some problem, it could be necessary now, but it shouldn't be necessary to begin with. Just FYI.
Daniel Rossberg (Mar 29 2023 at 18:46):I tracked down the causes for the build errors with Visual Studio. However, I'm still confused about that I seem to be the only one who sees this issues. I tested it with VS 2019 and 2022, and could reproduce the errors with both versions. But, it seems to make a difference, if I use the CMake distributed with VS or a separate installation. The version with VS could do the build.
1st issue: CMake in GDAL complains about SQLite3_~ and SQLITE3_~ beeing defined different. This can be fixed by changing lines 147 and 148 of gdal.cmake to camel-case.
2nd issue: OpenMesh, AssetImport, PROJ, and GDAL append a "d" at the debug binaries. But if they are accessed after their build, it's without this letter (they are in the Debug directory anyway).
I could probably fix this, but what bothers me is https://github.com/BRL-CAD/brlcad/commit/d216c04dc3195ae25657a46f4cd28a7808243fc8,
i.e. it looks like is has worked before, but for another reason no more?
Sean (Mar 30 2023 at 07:42):Thanks @Daniel Rossberg ... Alas, I've not done a Windows build in a while as my focus has been on generating about 200k renderings, tracking down a Mac build error, and getting patch release 7.34.6 tested on other platforms. There was a tricky bug with nirt run within mged where it was hanging, and we just got that sorted out today (race I/O issue). That said, I am also tracking at least a couple issues with the state of the build on 'main' being unstable in some platforms. I hadn't seed the two issues you mentioned, but there are other errors I've encountered with gdal that will have to be resolved before 7.36 is ready to go (it's eta is by end of April).
Daniel Rossberg (Mar 30 2023 at 09:39):Okay, good to know. In this case, I'll make up some fixes, which "work for me". If somebody gets an issue with them, please complain here...
Daniel Rossberg (Mar 30 2023 at 16:54):Fun fact: In stand-alone CMake on Windows, CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is empty. It generates configurations for all entries in CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES. I try to work around it with $<$<CONFIG:....

I have been having problems building BRL-CAD since last year. I failed to build it on ubuntu 22.04 in debug and release mode(succeed sometimes.. I can't reproduce it because I reinstalled the system). And I failed to build it on windows with VS 2019 in debug mode. The problems were still there at the beginning of this month. Actually, I'm working with ubuntu 20.04(build well in debug and release mode) and VS 2019 in release mode.
Himanshu (Mar 31 2023 at 04:37):I had built brlcad again freshly like 10 days ago from this commit 880d2d in VS 2022 with no build errors. Am I missing something? @Daniel Rossberg

Maybe need to delete the build directory? I've noticed an increase in instances where I've had to blow away the build dir because something in cmake updated and it didn't detect/regenerate correctly, or cached data from old variable settings was messing with new logic in unexpected ways.

How did you the CMake configuration: With Visual Studio's build-in CMake? In this case, CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is set and the build can work. If you use a standard CMake installation, CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE wan't be set (if you don't set it explicitly) and the Debug build should fail because of missing "d"s in the binaries' names of some 3rd party libraries. I.e., the Release build could work there too.
BTW, I do all main tests starting from a clean (empty) build directory. That's why it is very time consuming.
Daniel Rossberg (Apr 01 2023 at 15:19):I did some changes on the configuration of 3rd party libraries for Windows: https://github.com/BRL-CAD/brlcad/tree/msvc-patch
You may want to give it a try and see, if it solves you problems. @Nishanth? I tested it successfully with MSVS 2022 and separate vanilla CMake for both Debug and Release build.
Unfortunately, the $<$<CONFIG:... approach didn't worked, because it wan't be evaluated in all cases. (And it seems to be a very new feature with small differences between the last CMake versions.) That's why I hacked the configs of the libraries. I don't know, if this is okay.
Sean (Apr 02 2023 at 05:47):I used to use standard but now almost exclusively use built-in, so that'd explain why I don't see it. Cliff and the CI system exclusively use standard cmake. For CI, CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is set for one of them, but not all the configurations run on Windows from what I'm seeing..

Nope. Can you build again from latest commit? It will work fine.
Himanshu (Mar 12 2024 at 19:33):Even if gdal.h is there in src/other/ext/gdal/gcore/gdal.h. Still build errors.
Sean (Mar 12 2024 at 20:14):Those windows definitely don’t look like the build was complete or at least not successful. Did you do a build with everything enabled? Delete your build tree and retry with the cmake option -DBRLCAD_BUNDLED_LIBS=ON

Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 05:26):@Himanshu Sekhar Nayak are you doing a bext build or a default in-tree clone build? Check if you have a src/bext in your tree... That output looks like a bext build, which is our new way of managing external dependencies (like gdal) but it's not yet fully tested and isn't supposed to be enabled yet.
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 05:27):somewhere there's a bit of confusion in the build logic it would seem. might need to start fresh or at least delete your build dir, delete any src/bext, and make sure BRLCAD_EXT_DIR is not set.

Nope, it's not there.
Himanshu (Mar 13 2024 at 05:40):Sean said:
was it a fresh build directory?
Yes, I cloned today in the morning.
Himanshu (Mar 13 2024 at 05:40):I was trying from previous night.
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 05:40):Right, I know you cloned fresh, but is where you're running cmake also new?
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 05:41):how'd you run cmake?
Himanshu (Mar 13 2024 at 05:41):Sean said:
how'd you run cmake?
using GUI. Here is the variables.

Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 05:42):did you let studio do it with the new automatic support in msvc2022 or do you run cmake manually?
Himanshu (Mar 13 2024 at 05:42):Sean said:

Manually.
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 05:42):Yeah, I see that now :)
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 05:42):hm.
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 05:43):You got me stumped. That cmake output seems okay. Is there already a prior install in C:\program files\... 7.38.1 ?
Himanshu (Mar 13 2024 at 05:44):I was bit in a hurry because I need to showcase arbalest but build is failing.
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 05:44):I just built today on Windows and on Mac, so it's a bit surprising, but I do now use the default build support in msvc, loving it.
Himanshu (Mar 13 2024 at 05:45):Sean said:

Nope, it's not there.
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 05:45):are you using 2022?
Himanshu (Mar 13 2024 at 05:46):Yes
Sean said:
are you using 2022?
Himanshu (Mar 13 2024 at 05:46):But without gdal, I built and ran arbalest. The thing is the mouse selection on objects is not working in arbalest that I had worked on.
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 05:47):how'd you build without gdal??
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 05:48):I thought we configured it so brlcad repo requires it
Himanshu (Mar 13 2024 at 05:49):Sean said:
how'd you build without gdal??
After build failed, I went upon and built moose and installed it too because arbalest needs moose and brlcad.dll is only available inside installed moose dir.
Himanshu (Mar 13 2024 at 05:49):arbalest runs fine but the mouse selection is totally not working.
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 05:49):I don't get how you build moose or arbalest thought since they depend on brl-cad being installed
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 05:50):So next question, basic sanity checks -- git status says origin/main and no edits or unknown dirs, yes?
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 05:50):where's your build dir in relation to the src dir?
Himanshu (Mar 13 2024 at 05:52):Sean said:
So next question, basic sanity checks -- git status says origin/main and no edits or unknown dirs, yes?
Yep, no unknowns.
Himanshu (Mar 13 2024 at 05:53):Sean said:
where's your build dir in relation to the src dir?
C:\Users\Himanshu\Desktop\Workspace\brlcad\src and C:\Users\Himanshu\Desktop\Workspace\build
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 05:53):okay, so that's good
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 05:55):So yeah, I'd suggest trying msvc's integrated build. Can just ignore that Workspace\build exists for now -- msvc will create a new build dir in Workspace\brlcad\out if you simply open Workspace\brlcad in msvc.
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 05:56):After about a minute of opening the folder, you should see it starting to automatically run cmake in the console panel.
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 05:56):anywhere from a few seconds to a minute
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 05:56):depends how fast your machine is
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 05:57):default will be a Debug build -- which should be fine given the cmake settings you showed earlier
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 05:58):see if that has the same gdal.h error. cmake should take about 5 minutes, build takes maybe another 5-10 min
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 05:58):You'll notice there's no products or build types to worry about, just F5 or Build and it'll build everything.
Himanshu (Mar 13 2024 at 05:59):okay I started with msvc, cmake started automatically.
Himanshu (Mar 13 2024 at 05:59):I never knew msvc had this feature too. Have they added it recently?
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 06:00):It started in one of the 2022 betas that came out a couple years ago. they've been steadily improving it. I'm super impressed.
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 06:00):There's even a cmake debugger, you can actually set breakpoints in the build logic!
Himanshu (Mar 13 2024 at 06:02):Okay, CMake generation finished.
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 06:02):everything auto-updates ... so as you edit files, it'll automatically re-run cmake or recompile sources and re-index sourcecode as you make changes.
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 06:02):git is also integrated on the right panel
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 06:02):can work with direct commit push/pulls or pull requests
Himanshu (Mar 13 2024 at 06:02):Sean said:

This is a good feature.
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 06:04):Honestly, I've trash-talked msvc for years, and justifiably so, but 2022 has been a game-changer with all the new things they're integrating. With that cmake build, it's a simple point-and-click to set up additional configuration targets in addition to x64-Debug
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 06:05):and not just obvious stuff like x64-Release, but you can build WSL binaries or even cross-compile and build Linux binaries
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 06:05):(which also run on Windows and work within the msvc debugger)
Himanshu (Mar 13 2024 at 06:05):Sean said:

What !!! I can't believe this is working also.
Himanshu (Mar 13 2024 at 06:07):Btw where should I go next to build? I can't figure out. Is it in C:/Users/Himanshu/Desktop/Workspace/brlcad/out/build/x64-Debug ?
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 06:09):What do you mean "go next to build"? You mean after cmake finishes?
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 06:10):Build menu up top, there's an option to build everying
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 06:11):everything will build in the out/build/x64-Debug build dir (that's where it ran cmake), so there will be an out/build/x64-Debug/bin/rt.exe for example
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 06:12):I haven't actually tried installing from cmake in a really really long time, but that'd be the next thing to check, where it was configured to install to, and to actually install -- or configure moose to use the build dir as an install dir -- that should work too I'd think
Himanshu (Mar 13 2024 at 06:12):Oops, I thought to I have to go to build folder and again start msvc to start the build.
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 06:13):Nope, it's all integrated right there. They just don't show you the million targets and products and such. It's a simplified view.
Himanshu (Mar 13 2024 at 06:14):Hmm, I started building now. 850/5304 :grimacing:
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 06:14):I've found the automatic rebuilding to be amazingly effective. If you want to not rebuild the world every time, there is a Build->this file option, which will build every dependency leading up to that file (all libs it depends on) and then that file.
Himanshu (Mar 13 2024 at 06:23):Still same CMake Error at C:/Users/Himanshu/Desktop/Workspace/brlcad/out/build/x64-Debug/src/other/ext/GDAL_BLD-prefix/src/GDAL_BLD-stamp/GDAL_BLD-build-Debug.cmake:47 (message):
Stopping after outputting logs.
Himanshu (Mar 13 2024 at 06:23):Also I got
Error C1189 #error: The C++ Standard Library forbids macroizing the keyword "bool". Enable warning C4005 to find the forbidden define. C:\Users\Himanshu\Desktop\Workspace\brlcad\out\build\x64-Debug\brlcad C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.38.33130\include\xkeycheck.h 54
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 06:34):damn
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 06:38):what's weird is there hasn't really been any changes to src/other/ext since last year in the fall
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 06:47):all references I'm seeing online curiously indicate that C1189 error is from msvc2019 and was later fixed.. I'm not seeing any #define bool in the source or build dirs for gdal
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 06:49):can you double-check your windows PATH environment setting? make sure there's not another msvc in the path somewhere in there...
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 06:49):echo %PATH% in a command shell should be enough
Sean (Mar 13 2024 at 06:50):GUI method described here: https://phoenixnap.com/kb/windows-set-environment-variable
starseeker (Mar 13 2024 at 13:01):Sean said:

FWIW, you can disable the GDAL components with BRLCAD_ENABLE_GDAL=OFF
Himanshu (Mar 13 2024 at 13:13):I started again. Now the build is not complaining for gdal. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
Diviyam Pathak (Mar 13 2024 at 18:28):Sean said:
Those windows definitely don’t look like the build was complete or at least not successful. Did you do a build with everything enabled? Delete your build tree and retry with the cmake option -DBRLCAD_BUNDLED_LIBS=ON
hello, I built again with same cmake flags this time all binaries are working correctly, I think problem was, I didn't build the ALL_BUILD solution in msvs
B Stew (Mar 15 2024 at 19:36):I've opened a BRLCAD file in Archer 7.38.0 and would like to export as an STL file but I receive the Error "wrong # args:should be "set varName ?newValue?"
Sean (Mar 16 2024 at 13:58):@B Stew Sounds like a great opportunity to create a patch if you can figure out what's wrong, fix it, and submit that as a patch ;) That said, you can convert to STL via the command-line as well using "gcv" or "g-stl" -- that's the typical method. Archer is considered beta, so you will find issues.
fall Rainy (Mar 20 2024 at 12:34):@Sean ,I have successfully build brl-cad with appleseed, but when I run art with args "Debug/bin/art.exe Debug/share/db/moss.g all.g":
OSL headers not found.
osl: No .oso file could be found for shader "as_plastic"
osl: Could not find shader "as_plastic"
error adding shader "as_plastic" for layer "shader_in".
what should I do to fix this error?
platform : windows,vs2022,appleseed 2.1
fall Rainy (Mar 20 2024 at 14:11):I infer that the serch paths for oiio and osl were error:
setting oiio search paths to D:\User\Jinke\brl-cad\build_appleseed\build-2\src\art\output/shaders:D:/User/Jinke/brl-cad/build_appleseed/build-2\shaders/max:D:/User/Jinke/brl-cad/build_appleseed/build-2\shaders/appleseed
setting osl shader search paths to D:\User\Jinke\brl-cad\build_appleseed\build-2\src\art\output/shaders:D:/User/Jinke/brl-cad/build_appleseed/build-2\shaders/max:D:/User/Jinke/brl-cad/build_appleseed/build-2\shaders/appleseed
I tried to change path by :
asf::SearchPaths resource_search_paths;
resource_search_paths.set_root_path("D:/App/appleseed");
resource_search_paths.push_back_explicit_path("D:/App/appleseed/shaders/appleseed");
resource_search_paths.push_back_explicit_path("D:/App/appleseed/shaders/src/appleseed");
bool tmp = resource_search_paths.exist("as_plastic.oso"); //true
but it doesn't work.
fall Rainy (Mar 20 2024 at 16:32):I have solved this problem, and I found there are something wrong when compling brl-cad with appleseed on windows, such as:
//art.cpp
ArtTileCallback artcallback;
//tile.h
class ArtTileCallback
:public renderer::ITileCallback{
void on_tile_begin(
const renderer::Frame*, //frame
const size_t, //tile_x
const size_t, //tile_y
const size_t, //thread_index
const size_t //thread_count
) {;}
}
but renderer::ITileCallback declares that:
virtual void on_tile_begin(
const Frame* frame,
const size_t tile_x,
const size_t tile_y) = 0;
whick makes artcallback fails to instantiated.
There are many similar errors as well, Can I assist in fixing these issues?
fall Rainy (Mar 20 2024 at 16:38):I have successfully build brl-cad with appleseed and generated picture like this:
art.png
starseeker (Mar 20 2024 at 17:08):@fall Rainy This is on Windows? Which version of appleseed are you building against?
fall Rainy (Mar 21 2024 at 04:04):Yes, it is on Windows, compiled by visual studio 2022, appleseed 2.1-beta(lastest version)
fall Rainy (Mar 21 2024 at 06:08):@starseeker I have submitted a pull request(#117), please review it
Sean (Mar 23 2024 at 21:04):That's awesome progress @fall Rainy and I saw your github pull request too. I started reviewing it. I assume you used pre-built appleseed, yes?
Sean (Mar 23 2024 at 21:05):Or did you also compile 2.1-beta from source?
fall Rainy (Mar 24 2024 at 14:47):@Sean I use both pre-built appleseed and coplie 2.1-beta from souce. I found this issue was caused by on_tile_begin() and on_progressive_frame_update()，appleseed 2.0 updated these two methods.
fall Rainy (Mar 24 2024 at 14:48):And I have already demonstrated the differences between these two versionspull #117
fall Rainy (Mar 24 2024 at 15:16):I have attached my proposal to this pull request. I hope to familiarize myself with BRL-CAD and Appleseed by fixing this bug, in preparation for future projects. If you can help review my proposal, I'd really appreciate it!

Hi @fall Rainy, we won't accept your proposal text in our repository :wink:. A better, often used way is to draft it in a Google Docs document and share its link. Then, you can create the final GSoC proposal from it.
fall Rainy (Mar 24 2024 at 16:36):Thanks! I have create a link to my research proposal:GSoc proposal:Rendering with Neural Intersection Functions

This looks pretty good. You certainly have done well demonstrating competency with appleseed -- curious why you're not proposing to work on https://github.com/opencax/GSoC/issues/71 ? Note that you don't need to involve appleseed to work on the neural intersection project -- the original vision there was an acceleration for rt_shootray() in LIBRT, not via BrlcadObject in the 'art' renderer. The 'art' renderer does physically based rendering (i.e. MUCH more than intersection testing).
I uploaded some materials that should be of assistance from the prior effort to https://brlcad.org/design/neural <-- see if that helps understand the prior effort and what you might do next. Also note, your experience with appleseed is just as interesting if not even more interesting, if https://github.com/opencax/GSoC/issues/71 is of interest, given your demonstration.
fall Rainy (Mar 31 2024 at 04:12):Thanks for your advice. I have updated my research proposal:Rendering with Neural Intersection Functions
Sean (Mar 31 2024 at 06:50):Hi @fall Rainy and thx! On quick inspection it looks like the write up is reasonable but there alas won’t likely be time to go through it in detail until after the deadline. But it looks good, like I said. If you have not already, please do submit a code change (a pull request for something meaningful) soon as possible even if it’s after the deadline. If you have already, do be sure to cite it in your proposal. That’s arguably the most important aspect in evaluating any candidate’s proposal.
Konstantinos (May 24 2024 at 16:41):hello, i need das program to star, but instead i ended up here can anyone help me about the program ho to get it for freee?
Sean (May 25 2024 at 04:29):@Konstantinos sorry I don't understand your question. Can you try restating it again a different way? If you're referring to BRL-CAD -- it is available for free.
Daniel Rossberg (May 25 2024 at 15:52):@Konstantinos, does this link https://github.com/BRL-CAD/brlcad/releases help? You can download e.g. BRL-CAD_7.38.2_win64.msi and install the software from it.
