01:37.51brlcadmattS_: what do you mean ... alas, you found it?
01:39.34brlcadoh right, sorry mattS_ -- rcc is *just* a specialization of tgc, so the source link I mentioned for tgc is the one you want
03:30.13mattS_Hence why I could not find the rcc.c code :-)  Thanks, this has helped.  Revolve coming along nicely, just slowly.  Full time job and all that sort of stuff getting in the way of fun!
05:19.35brlcadmattS_: as soon as you have anything that works better, you're welcome to submit a patch so someone can review and integrate it
05:20.56brlcadas long as it compiles and is an improvement, it's worth making a patch for it -- "svn diff > mychanges.patch" will make the patch for you if you have an svn checkout
05:22.09brlcadalso, the smaller the patch, the easier it is to review and integrate, so emphasis that the feature doesn't have to be "complete" .. if you get something working, make a patch, upload it to sourceforge, and that'll also give other devs a chance to review and comment on it
05:35.26mattS_That is my basic plan, but my programming skills are really quite poor.  So, I've sketched out how to "complete" the tool, and am ironing all the (mathematical) kinks out.  I will require a fair bit of input to get the code working, though...
05:42.38mattS_Probably require, that is.

16:10.19ibidemtrying to build brlcad on debian squeeze
16:11.12ibidemhave the dependencies installed, ./configure works
16:12.30ibidembut when I compile, it errors out in librt
16:17.06ibidemapparently search.c has several static declarations while search.h has nonstatic declarations
16:19.11*** join/#brlcad jordisayol (~jordisayo@unaffiliated/jordisayol)
16:25.06ibidemi'd guessed that it might be from using the wrong yacc version
16:26.15ibidembut it looks like search.{c,h} aren't generated by yacc
16:55.28ibidemwell, I got librt to compile
16:55.58ibidems/^int/static int/
16:56.25ibidemon search.h
16:56.55ibidemwas that a bad idea?
17:08.17brlcadibidem: no, that should be fine
17:21.11ibidemok, just got it installed--no more problems
17:45.33ibidemone more thing-apparently archer needs tools.png installed before it will run
17:46.24ibidemcopy that over and archer runs fine on squeeze
19:25.12CIA-48BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r47318 10/brlcad/trunk/src/librt/ (search.c search.h): ibidem (via irc) noted a declaration mismatch between search.h and search.c; eliminate the unnecessary forward declarations save for the few c_* callbacks used in the options array.
19:26.13brlcadibidem: ah, that would probably be mismatch between the autotools build and our new cmake build
19:28.18CIA-48BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r47319 10/brlcad/trunk/src/tclscripts/archer/images/Makefile.am: tools.png missing from dist/install, thx to ibidem (via irc) for reporting issue.
19:29.12brlcadwe're in the process of migrating to a new cmake-based build system, so the autotools infrastructure will be removed in a few months
19:29.55brlcadcvds_: that's a relic from mged's original heavy-modal heritage (ala vim)
19:30.16brlcadslowly migrating towards becomging completely modeless
19:31.46brlcadcvds_: you may like running rtwizard or manually running rtedge in overlay mode to emphasize the edges in your renderings ;)
19:35.40CIA-48BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r47320 10/brlcad/trunk/TODO: so sayeth bob, struct rt_bot_internal should be using size_t * instead of int * for the faces and face_normals members
