irclog2html for #brlcad on 20100207

00:00.01yukonbobhrmm...
00:00.25yukonbobwell, if it doesn't need work, there's no point in tweaking it :/
00:02.39louipcerik said that the one included in brl-cad is an old one
00:03.01yukonbob<PROTECTED>
00:03.08louipcso I assume older than old, so I thought that was funny
00:53.37starseekerif the snow ever melts, anyway... wow
01:34.38starseekerheh, awesome quote: The IBM Model M keyboard - it's like a gigantic tailpipe for geeks.
01:52.39``Eriklooks like BRL-CAD has jove 2.1, the latest JOVE release was 4.16.0.70 in '06,
01:54.40``Eriklooks like there're references in our fork going back to '83
01:57.20``Erikstarseeker: fbsd rocks the opteron :D
01:58.12``Erik(iirc, jove existed in the BRL-CAD repo a couple years before actual BRL-CAD code was checked in...)
02:30.21starseeker``Erik: well, with a 1 terabyte drive I can probably afford a few extra partitions for alternatives
02:30.51``Eriksome systems stop at 4
02:30.55starseekermay not have install disks
02:31.46starseekerheh
02:32.01starseekerI mean the install disks for Win 7
02:32.24``ErikI MIGHT have some dos and win3.1 floppies somewhere, but I'd have to dig
02:32.48starseeker<snort> Yeah, let's see you compile BRL-CAD on Win 3.1 - I dare ya ;-)
02:33.01``Erikheh
02:33.22``ErikI'd rather spend my time on a far more useful and modern system, like bsd43 on a vax11/780 :D should find that disk image...
02:33.33starseekerUnicomp Customizer 101 or some such
02:33.39``Eriknever liked the old ibm M
02:33.51starseekerreally?  
02:34.09starseeker(everyone in the same room hates it, of course...)
02:34.18``ErikI DO like the old sun type5, the 'jelly' apple kbd I use at work, the mid 90's mitsumi precision pro and the old c64
02:34.36``Eriksee, I like a quiet light touch but fast responding kbd
02:35.07starseekerheh, actually one of the two I got was a quiet version
02:35.24``Erikthe type5 had a decent 'feel', plus it had keys in the right place
02:35.37``Eriknp caps lock, escape by the 1, ctl by the a...
02:36.18``Erikthe apple kbd's pressure ramp is a bit stiff at first for me
02:36.21starseekerI think it's partially what you're used to - Sarah hates my original Model M, but I'm not too crazy about this relativly tiny Mac keyboard
02:36.42``Erikcould be worse, I'm using a macbook kbd right now :(
02:36.47starseekerow
02:36.54``Erikthe keys are completely flat and spaced apart
02:37.56``Erikindianlarry put his mac on a kvm and is using a dull kbd, so'z I stoleded his apple kbd for home O.O
02:38.01``Erikheh
02:38.05starseekerhehe
02:38.13``Erikmy mitsumi pro is a big honkin' din plug into a ps/2 adapter
02:38.23``Erikand I'm pondering putting THAT into a usb adapter to keep using it
02:38.32starseekerthat's what I researched
02:38.49starseekerdunno about the mitsumi, but if it's a power hog it can be a problem
02:39.28``Erikdoubt it is, it's a pretty basic membrane with the little 8k series controller
02:39.53``Erikhttp://jope.fi/amiga/amikbd/mitsumi128top.jpg
02:40.15``Erikwith different caps, that's a bit...amigified
02:41.01starseekeryeah, that looks pretty mild
02:41.10``Erikalso, mine's really nasty and dirty, been quite a while since I've cleaned it... :D used to tear it aprt and throw most of it in the dishwasher once every few years
02:42.30``Eriklucked out with the mitsumi, bought it in the mid 90's as a 'cheap' kbd from sears, but the keys don't rattle or jiggle and it's still going strong
02:43.14starseekerthat was a luckout - I kinda remember that era for it's really cheap crappy Gateway keyboards
02:43.23``Erikheh, yeah
02:43.23starseekeruniversity had a bunch - drove me nuts
02:43.46``Erikthe place I worked in the late 90's, we had boxes full of cheap keyboards, would regularly break them, throw one out and take another out of the box
02:43.55starseekerfelt like typing on some kind of cheap plastic packaging
02:44.09starseekertremendous waste of raw materials
02:44.16``Erikthink they were dell, not gateway
02:44.44``Erikdell has really picked their act up the last few years, the kbd's when I got to arl were shite, these most recent are almost usable
02:44.47starseekerprobably both - I'm sure keyboard cost cutting must have been a big thing around then...
02:45.01starseekeryeah, it's getting a little more tolerable now
02:45.26``ErikI'm sure I have a 5 year old one sitting around somewhere if'n ya wanna be mortified
02:45.35starseekerblegh
02:45.45``ErikI hate to say it, but it's not too different from the o2 keyboard. :(
02:46.10starseekerO2 was stylish but got run over pretty quickly by Moore
02:46.15``Erikthe machine case for sgi was effin' brilliant, the monitors were decent, but the kbd and mice seemed... retro. in a bad way.
02:47.15``Erikso you haven't seen the o2's guts
02:47.22``Erikor mebbe a prioris
02:47.34``Erikor a sun u2
02:47.58starseekerwhy, easier to work then the Mac case?  That's pretty impressive
02:48.16``Erikg4 tower was the clear roundish one with the handles, right?
02:48.36``Erikthe g5 pro and intel mac pro are okish
02:48.52starseekerright - side panel folded down and everything was right there - no messing with getting covers off, no working inside cases...
02:49.06starseekersimple and effective
02:49.09``Erikyeah, that's normal for *nix machines...
02:49.27``Erikthe old sun pizza boxes literally opened up like a pizza box, with bits on the top and bottom, all right there
02:49.39starseekerhow come the PCs never catch on?
02:49.43``Eriku2, jut slide the top back, it popped off and everything was right there
02:49.55``Erikcuz there's a pc repair shop industry to support? :D
02:50.16``Erikthe o2 has most things removable without opening the case, there're levers on the back that slide the cards out
02:50.16starseekerheh - thought they had that convered with the custom, non-standard power supply connectors
02:50.41``Erikthe powersupply has no wires hanging out, it just pops out as a single block
02:51.29``Erikthe prioris was an x86, so it was a bit messy, but two thumb screws and it opens up, you could remove the memory, cpus, etc without any significant effort, even if you have fat fingers/hands :D
02:51.31starseekerand fry things...
02:52.46starseekerended up with a low end gaming machine - it's at least expected that the user will upgrade things in such a box
02:53.12starseekerheh - thumb screws - nowadays that comes under the heading "sales"
02:54.11``Erikhttp://www.anfa.org/image.php?img=563 looks like it has two dec prioris' on the left, one on the other
02:54.16``Erikgood coffee tables
02:55.19starseekerheh - still need to get a cray off of ebay and convert it into a fishtank or something :-)
02:55.30``Erikoh, the amusing thing, the machine was built to run nt... was impossible to get nt running on it, but linux just kicked right up (and showed TWO penguins on the boot screen)
02:55.38starseekerlol
02:55.47``Erikstealing my crayquarium idea? O.o
02:56.15``Erikwow, christopher in walken "balls of fury"... just... wow...
02:56.30starseeker?
02:56.42``Erikcomedy show about pingpong
02:56.48starseekerah
02:56.57``Erikmovie
02:57.00starseekerthought the kittens had gone beserk again
02:57.12starseeker"balls of fury"
02:58.30``Erikyes. christopher walken is in my cats. he possesses them and makes them talk about needing more cowbell. :D
02:58.37``Erik:D
03:00.06starseekerthat's a scary thought
04:28.57``Erikso sorry
04:29.36yukonbobheheh it's -funny-
04:29.52yukonbob"Ping pong, or, as the Chinese say, 'Ping Pong'"
04:30.31``Erikwalken and maggie q were good, got a bit of a kick out of terry crews... jim hong got stale fast, and whoever that, uh, 'dan fogler' is, wtf?

05:50.55QAChip1hallo all
05:51.19QAChip1any one reading?
05:51.45cjdevlinsure
05:52.54cjdevlinwhat's up?
05:53.04QAChip1I read about an issue when compiling BRL, I downloaded source code, but before compiling and installing, I want to ask if you know something about
05:54.24cjdevlini am brand new to it myself, so if you had the same issue i did, i can help
05:55.35QAChip1what issue you had?
05:56.46cjdevlinmake was failing b/c of a "missing" include.
05:57.56QAChip1I think that was the issue i read about
05:58.07QAChip1and how did you fix that?
06:00.58cjdevlinsrc/other/openNURBS/opennurbs_system.h
06:01.48cjdevlin@ line 246: #include<cstddef.h>
06:02.52QAChip1which version of BRL did you download? I downloaded 7.16.4, is it the same?
06:03.17cjdevlinfor the sake of asking, what version are you working with? and did you download the source or the binary?
06:03.28cjdevlinand what os and gcc version?
06:03.48QAChip1haha, we are in the same channel,
06:04.18QAChip1I'm on Fedora 11, kernel 2.6.30....,
06:04.43cjdevlinto get gcc version, at the command line: gcc -v
06:04.56QAChip1gcc versión 4.4.1 20090725 (Red Hat 4.4.1-2) (GCC)
06:05.18cjdevlinok. did that resolve your issue?
06:05.26QAChip1not tried
06:05.34QAChip1I was reading README
06:05.39cjdevlinah
06:07.18QAChip1line 246 is empty
06:07.28cjdevlincorrect
06:07.38cjdevlinshould be just above #include<new> i think
06:08.03QAChip1yes, @247 #include <new> // for declaration of placement versions of new used in onClassArray<>.
06:08.39QAChip1then? sustitute <new> with <cstddef.h>?
06:08.45cjdevlin#include<cstddef.h> should go above it
06:08.50cjdevlindo not replace, just add
06:08.54QAChip1ok
06:09.26QAChip1done
06:09.43QAChip1then ./ configure, make make install?
06:10.28CoconutCrabso they still haven't fixed this yet
06:10.30cjdevlin./configure, make test, make, sudo make install (for system-wide installation)
06:10.50cjdevlinthe devs here said that it is a gcc bug, not brl cad
06:10.56cjdevlini don't know enough to argue either way
06:11.23CoconutCrabI mean GCC
06:11.28CoconutCrabin 4.4.1
06:11.49cjdevlinnot sure. QA stated he wanted to modify before he attempted
06:14.00QAChip1I said i read about this issue, and you said you had this issue, then I assumed it was the same, added line 246 and now trying to install, if it reports any problem, will be back here
06:14.25cjdevlinworks for me. adding it explicitly there shouldn't hurt
06:16.25QAChip1./configure now
06:19.23QAChip1I think I lack some dev files
06:19.47cjdevlinwhat is the output/error
06:21.37QAChip1at the end> configure: error: *** compiler cannot create working executables, check config.log ***
06:21.47QAChip1im reading, configure.log
06:22.13CoconutCrabare you using linux? if so, which distro?
06:23.15cjdevlincoconutcrab: he said fedora 11
06:23.23QAChip1linux Fedora 11
06:24.01QAChip1kernel 2.6.30.10-105.2.16
06:24.08CoconutCrabok, I am not familiar with redhat family
06:24.56QAChip1ok, thx anyway, i'll keep on reading
06:25.21cjdevlinwhat did the log say?
06:26.04CoconutCrabI believe you will need to install some packages, not sure which though, on ubuntu it is build-essential or something like that
06:26.34CoconutCrabQAChip1: do you have gcc installed?
06:27.02QAChip1yes, of course
06:27.26QAChip1but with out DEV files
06:27.32cjdevlinhttp://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=156569
06:27.38cjdevlinthat is what you are looking for
06:27.53cjdevlinthe yum groupinstall is fedora syntax
06:29.08QAChip1never tried that, lets give it a chance
06:31.58cjdevlindid you install gcc from source or via yum?
06:32.28QAChip1via yum
06:33.02QAChip1specifically, via software repositories
06:33.07cjdevlinok. when it goes to install the rest, it will tell you that gcc is up to date
06:33.19cjdevlinso the yum groupinstall should still work
06:33.36QAChip1yes, I saw I have many required packages, but lacked of many others
06:34.15QAChip1hahah, install 42 packages [y/n]
06:34.34QAChip1I lacked 42 packages
06:35.26cjdevlinyeah . . . many of them probably aren't going to be required for brl, but should be available for anyone who compiles from source
06:36.45cjdevlinparticularly if you are running a newer box with the space for them
06:37.15QAChip1No new box, but I have space
06:37.44cjdevlinbuild yourself a sandbox out of an older machine?
06:37.47QAChip1in fact, I am not used to compile form src, but this time it is mandatory since no yum or rpm
06:38.52QAChip1cjdevlin: I did not get that
06:39.09QAChip1I mean, I did not understand that question
06:39.37cjdevlinsandbox == not a production/primary machine, a machine just to run random progs on that you don't have to worry about crashing
06:40.03QAChip1mmm, no, this is my production machine
06:40.09cjdevlinahh
06:40.37QAChip1so far, it works like a charm, no stability issues
06:43.31cjdevlinthe last time i used a 'fedora' install it was still regular old red hat and it was v9. i liked it back in the day, but found that the support around ubuntu is a bit faster. i've been using debian/ubuntu for a while now. also very stable.
06:44.37QAChip1configure: failed program was:
06:44.37QAChip1| /* confdefs.h.  */
06:44.48QAChip1this is an issue raised in config.log
06:48.40cjdevlininstall kernel-headers and glibc-devel packages with the Red Hat Package Manager, RPM.
06:49.33cjdevlinfrom this article: http://www.geektimes.com/linux/troubleshooting/c-cant-create-executables.html
06:50.24QAChip1I'll have to wait, is is installing package 20/42
06:51.45cjdevlinahh, then glibc-devel is probably included in what you are installing.
06:51.48QAChip1read that! thx
06:52.23QAChip1anyway, will download devel packages from Red Hat's repos
06:52.42QAChip1for further compilations
06:53.12cjdevlinhokay, i am going to take a coffee break. let us know how it goes . . . i'll still be around/up for a few hours if you need anything, but may not be near the irc
06:55.23QAChip1ok, see you later
06:55.31QAChip1...hope so!
06:58.11brlcadgood luck with the build!
06:58.17brlcadaway for a bit, but do read backlog
07:40.04QAChip1last output >- ./configure complete, type 'make' to begin building
07:40.07QAChip1checking log
07:42.36QAChip1BTW, I already have glibc-devel and kernel-headers
07:48.24QAChip1I got some messages like this: conftest.cc:28:28: error: ac_nonexistent.h: No such file or directory
