03:41.25whkhi guys, so im on this task to compile and install brl cad from source code
03:41.39whkbut im not exactly sure where to start
03:42.20whklike obtaining the source
03:43.03whkis it fine if i simply download the zip file from sourceforge? tortoisesvn is telling me that the wiki link is invalid
04:13.51brlcadwhk: if you have tortoisesvn, you just need to point it at our repo url (which is not the wiki)
04:13.54brlcad~cadsvn
04:13.55infobotTo obtain BRL-CAD from Subversion: svn checkout https://svn.code.sourceforge.net/p/brlcad/code/brlcad/trunk brlcad
04:16.10brlcadkintel: if you see more students like dklfkd, you can ask them for the task url
04:18.25whkoh thanks
04:19.18kintelbrlcad: thx - I was a bit slow and didn’t realize this was a GCI thing - just reacted to my openscad alert ;)
04:20.39brlcadkintel: just fyi, there's a few openscad related tasks that we could easily mentor like modeling particular objects, finding and properly reporting a bug, fixing something simple, etc .. and of course under no expectation or obligation to help them
04:24.20kintelnot sure how finding memory leaks in openscad made it onto that task list though, but probably good valgrind training
04:25.47brlcadit's a general valgrind task and it listed a handful of CAx tools they could choose from
04:26.15brlcadthere is a specific task to install and run openscad, 10 kids have completed that one so far
04:26.22brlcadcouple modeling tutorials
04:26.52brlcad11 models
04:30.44brlcadhere's one of the tutorials: http://openscadtutorial.blogspot.in/2016/12/openscad-program-used-to-make-3-d-models.html

14:26.21whkhi, sorry to bother but i can't run cmake to build it
14:26.32whkwhen i try to follow the steps this error shows up
14:27.13whkhttp://pastebin.com/ZUR90vuG
14:37.40caen23whk: the error message says that `cl` was not found in your path, and that you should run CMake from the Visual Studio Developer prompt
14:37.49caen23whk: on what version of windows are you?
14:39.41caen23brlcad: maybe a good task would be to update the wiki page with instructions for building on windows?
14:41.48Notify03BRL-CAD:starseeker * 69268 (brlcad/trunk/src/proc-db/CMakeLists.txt brlcad/trunk/src/proc-db/gtimes.c): Fix build.
14:43.31caen23whk: either way, see if this helps you https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms229859(v=vs.110).aspx
14:44.05caen23it should open a command prompt similar to the one you normally see, but this one should have the path properly set for using the ms compiler (cl)

16:02.56arsh_can i send my design in svg format ?
16:07.24amarjeetYes, Just it should have layered (I think its groups in case of svg) structure . So, that design can be easily formatted later

17:09.08whk_my wifi got downed
17:09.32d_rossbergwhk: in the start menu: programs -> visual studio -> visual studio tools -> choose your preferred command line environment there
17:09.50d_rossbergor use the cmake gui as i do
17:12.00whk_oh
17:12.03whk_ok
17:12.36caen23whk_: did you open the dev command prompt?
17:13.30whk_yep
17:13.39whk_wait how do i choose the preferred
17:13.46whk_environment
17:13.55whk_is it according to that websites instructions
17:14.28caen23in that folder, you should have two icons, you "choose" by opening the one you want
17:14.38whk_oh
17:14.46whk_between dev and the other one
17:14.59whk_msbuild
17:15.36caen23yes, choose the dev one, go into the folder where you cloned the brlacd trunk, create a new directory, go inside it, type `cmake ..`, and it should work
17:15.54whk_it doesn't though
17:15.59caen23if it complains about cl again, can you please type `cl` at the prompt and tell me what you get?
17:16.06whk_ok lemme try
17:17.36whk_its not recognised?
17:18.13caen23hmm... it appears the dev command prompt did not set the correct paths
17:18.44whk_how do i fix that?
17:19.00caen23when you installed visual studio, did you select the checkboxes for visual c++ development?
17:19.15whk_hm im not sure
17:19.21whk_where do i check
17:19.26whk_i did the standard one
17:19.31caen23from what i can remember, they should be off by default
17:19.36whk_oh
17:19.55whk_where can i check
17:20.07caen23`C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin`
17:20.13caen23do you have a cl.exe in there?
17:20.17caen23assuming you have vs2015
17:20.32caen23if you don't have vs2015, you should replace 14.0 with something else (12.0 or whatever)
17:21.32whk_hm
17:21.36whk_lemme see
17:22.43whk_x86 or no
17:23.03whk_because i have two instances of microsoft visual studio 12.0
17:23.10whk_and i have 11.0 and 14.0 too
17:23.12whk_somehow
17:23.24caen23yes, it's messed up like that, it installs a lot of stuff
17:23.31caen23if u have 14.0, that's what interests you
17:23.42caen23i'm not sure about x86 or no, i would say check both
17:23.52caen23i only have a 32-bit vm, so i can't be sure
17:24.30whk_ok
17:25.04whk_c1.exe isnt here
17:25.28whk_ok
17:25.47caen23ok, then you didn't install the c++ tools when you installed visual studio
17:25.48whk_so it wasnt installed?
17:25.51whk_yea
17:25.56caen23you need to "repair" the installation, or however they call it
17:26.04whk_oh
17:26.05whk_how
17:26.40caen23download the kit again, and when you get to the part where it asks about features, expand the "Visual C++" tree and send me a screenshot, if you can
17:27.15caen23or you can just select the entire tree, if disk space isn't an issue
17:27.26caen23but i usually pick the stuff i need from there
