05:07.19brlcadhello blessing
05:10.52blessinghi brlcad
05:11.19blessingsorry for being impolite
05:12.35blessingIm Blessing Atie from University of Buea and I would love to start hacking brlcad code
05:15.38StragusCool, brlcad is the person to talk to :)
05:15.55StragusAssuming he didn't go to sleep
05:16.06brlcadblessing: not sure what was impolite there, but welcome
05:17.31brlcadmany many ways to get started, but talking here via irc and/or on our mailing list is a great way along with reading our hacking brl-cad book
05:20.18blessingThankx Stragus brlcad  
05:21.30brlcadwanders for a bit
05:21.58blessingjust did an svn checkout and running the configure script gives me " Installation directory (CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX) is set to .... /usr/brlcad/dev-7.25.0, but build type is set to Release!
05:23.05blessingwhere can i make the change ?
05:23.11brlcadinteresting issue ... I don't usually use the configure script but there could be something awry there
05:23.26brlcadinstead of running configure, run cmake in a build directory
05:23.30brlcadmkdir .build
05:23.32brlcadcd .build
05:23.41brlcadcmake ..
05:23.47brlcadmake
05:24.01brlcadsomething like that
05:25.09brlcadread the INSTALL file for tips/options, the README for a broad overview, the HACKING file for developer notes (this is different from the book I mentioned)

17:56.07Notify03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 63125 brlcad/trunk/src/librtserver/rtserver.c: looks like more recent versions of jni_md.h (included via jni.h) also provide an UNUSED() macro. fortunately, theirs is 100% identical to ours, so just make sure we turns ours off before including them and ensure the macro is eventually provided since it's needed below heavily.

18:38.32blessingHi
18:38.32blessingIm Blessing Atie a student at University of Buea Cameroon and I would love to hack Brlcad code.
18:38.32blessingI did an SVN checkout and read through the INSTALL and HACKING files as recommended by brlcad on #brlcad and im getting this error when i run make:

18:39.08blessingThanks
18:39.40StragusThey apparently just commited an update related to that UNUSED() macro
18:43.13blessinghi Stragus im not sure that helps me

18:44.14StragusDid you do a SVN checkout in the last 10 minutes?
18:44.51blessingStragus, no i did it 7 hours ago
18:46.01StragusRight, so pull in the latest commits :)

19:35.53Notify03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 63126 (brlcad/trunk/BUGS brlcad/trunk/src/liboptical/sh_text.c): apply sf patch #309 (Fixed raytracing with bad texture dimensions) from Stefan Mirea that addresses a texture mapping crash where simply specifying the wrong image dimensions would cause liboptical to read beyond array bounds. this wraps the texture mapping coordinates around the image space (toroidally) and enhances the red channel
19:35.56Notifyto help indicate the error.
19:38.56brlcadblessing: did you see my reply to your original e-mail?
19:40.03blessingbrlcad,: No i had no replies
19:42.41blessingAh brlcad I just saw it! Thanks
19:56.57Notify03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 63127 (brlcad/trunk/AUTHORS brlcad/trunk/NEWS): credit ?\200?\152tefan-gabriel mirea with his sf patch 309 that addresses a texture mapping coordinate crash. he wraps the image coordinates and enhances the red channel for any out-of-bounds lookups. he expressed that this is the first of many contributions. fantastic!
20:04.11Notify03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 63128 brlcad/trunk/src/libbrep/boolean.cpp: fix compiler-detected security issues. the second arg to bu_log should be a string literal.
20:06.20Notify03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 63129 brlcad/trunk/src/libbrep/boolean.cpp: size() gives a size_t type, so use %zd
20:06.21brlcadokay, great
20:18.44Notify03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 63130 brlcad/trunk/src/libbrep/boolean.cpp: array doesn't need to be a reference. llvm complains that it makes creating an implicit copy assignment operator impossible (needed for std::set/multiset packing).

21:08.01blessingbrlcad, everything went well with 7.24.0 release but the latest release you recommended wont compile
21:08.18blessingI get this
21:08.22blessingError renaming from "/home/SheCanCode/Desktop/brlcad-svn-trunk/build/CMakeTmp/BUILD_DELTA_FILE" to "/home/SheCanCode/Desktop/brlcad-svn-trunk/build/CMakeTmp/BUILD_DELTA_START": No such file or directory

21:23.00blessingI guess we are all on different timezones so most are sleeping now. Good Night
21:23.24teepeeor just working late :)
21:23.48blessinghey teepee
21:23.55teepeehi
21:24.48blessingits like girls are not welcomed here
21:25.32teepeewhy do you think that?
21:25.43blessingwhy is no one offering me help?
21:26.41teepeemost people listed in the nick-list are probably not actually on their computer
21:27.09teepeeI'm running my IRC on a raspberry pi that's always on even when I'm not at home
21:27.31teepeeso maybe just nobody around who can help
21:27.52teepeeespecially brlcad will pretty much always see messages later and respond
21:28.46teepeeI'm from a different project, so I can't help much with details like the build error
21:32.36blessingok so what is teepee  working on?
21:32.55teepeeis working on OpenSCAD
21:33.36teepeewe did GSoC together with BRL-CAD and it's cool to talk to other people doing similar projects
21:34.45blessingthats great! I would love to do Gsoc too so as to gain more confidence in myself
21:37.52teepeewell, it was just announced that there will be a GSoC next year, and it's quite likely BRL-CAD will join again
21:39.30blessingsure! brlcad is always in. its like google finds favours in them
21:40.14teepeeI think it's also because the area is not actually filled with projects
21:40.24teepeeit's not that many open source CAD projects
21:40.57teepeeprobably even more operating systems in this years GSoC than CAD projects :D
21:54.45brlcadblessing: nobody would even know your gender here if you didn't share it, you are certainly welcom
21:55.16brlcadIRC responses are not guaranteed to be instantaneous ... we all respond when we can which might be immediately or 12 hours later
21:56.11brlcadsee http://brlcad.org/wiki/IRC for more details on IRC etiquette and expectations
21:58.01blessingThanks brlcad
21:58.31brlcadas for gsoc 2015, I haven't yet decided whether or not we'll be applying but I should have a better idea in a few weeks
21:59.31brlcadwe love it, but it's exhausting and it could be our turn to take a break even if we do apply (vetern orgs are often forced to take a break)
21:59.55teepeeaww
22:00.13blessingwhat can i do with that  make error its so annoying
22:00.31blessingI need to start using mged
22:00.40blessingASAP
22:00.47brlcadwhy is that?
22:01.37brlcadI replied on the mailing list already, but basically -- need more info
22:02.45blessingfrom what i read in the documentation mged would really give me an understanding of how primitives are made
22:03.50brlcadlike what version of cmake you're using and what all of your build steps have been
22:07.13blessingim using cmake 2.8.12.2  and after doing an svn checkout , i cd into the brlcad folder and mkdir brlcad-build
22:07.40blessingthen cd brlcad-build, cmake ..
22:07.53blessingjust as explained in the wiki
22:08.55brlcadhuh, except your error message says you're not in a brlcad-build dir ... or that you ran cmake elsewhere first
22:09.14brlcadyou should probably "start over" ...
22:09.22brlcad~cadsvn
22:09.22infobotTo obtain BRL-CAD from Subversion: svn checkout https://svn.code.sourceforge.net/p/brlcad/code/brlcad/trunk brlcad
22:09.29brlcadcd brlcad
22:09.37brlcadmkdir .build
22:09.38brlcadcd .build
22:09.39brlcadcmake ..
22:10.01brlcadsee if that also gives you the BUILD_DELTA_START error
22:10.50brlcadand you can rm -rf ~/Desktop/brlcad-svn-trunk if that wasn't obvious, starting over
22:12.07brlcadgive that a go and report back, hopefully successful! :)
22:12.31blessingim on it
22:16.48blessingevery thing seems to be fine now as im running make
22:16.56blessingThanks
22:17.19blessinghoping it does not fail
22:21.02brlcadif it does, fix it ;)
22:21.21brlcadyou have the source, go to town on it ;)
22:33.17blessingsure will do just that! (y)
23:19.36blessingIm being lucky It completed successfully now i can start
23:21.17*** join/#brlcad kintel (~kintel@unaffiliated/kintel)
23:28.06blessingNow i have BRL-CAD build where can i get tutorials on mged so i can try some modelling
