01:55.25louipcbrlcad: ok I found out how to extract images only http://louipc.no-ip.org/VolumeII-Introduction_to_MGED/
01:56.21louipcbut I might have to put the two together manually... or somehow write a program to
01:59.28brlcador parse what I just sent you differently ;)
02:00.00brlcadmight be easier to do doc->ms_html then strip the ms namespace crap out
02:02.14louipcyeah probably
02:02.33louipcI don't have any MS stuff though :O
02:03.15louipcwell those docs need a good combing over anyways right?
02:03.50brlcada real good one, yeah
02:04.01brlcadneed to be broken up into different organization too
02:04.15brlcadOO will do just as fine with MS stuff :)
02:04.19louipcah quite a job
02:04.29louipcooh right
02:04.32brlcador Neo too
02:04.40louipcoh never heard of neo
02:05.20brlcadah, just an OO fork
02:06.32louipcah for mac
02:07.47brlcadoh yeah

03:45.08louipchey openoffice can save in docbook
03:47.02emtpyci understand that the openoffice output for docbook is really buggy
03:49.35louipcbetter than nothing I guess. They're thinking of using docbook to write documentation in but want to extract stuff from the old docs
03:50.49emtpycyeah, i exchanged emails with sean about possibly trying to take on said project.
03:51.17louipcI'm trying to figure out how to get the images nicely and in the right places
03:51.37emtpycin .docbook?
03:52.09louipcin whatever, as long as I don't have to manually put in each image hah
03:53.00louipcand as long as it's not doc or pdf :D
03:53.30emtpycis there an online repository for all of the images that are used in the documentation?
03:54.13louipcI can extract the images, and the text but not the two together properly hah
03:54.36louipchere I extracted some http://louipc.no-ip.org/VolumeII-Introduction_to_MGED/
03:56.54emtpycare all the source files in pdf?

03:58.35louipcbrlcad has some doc files you can has for
03:58.39Ale_1001hello!
03:58.46louipcthey're not distributed though
04:01.15brlcadhowdy emtpyc
04:01.42emtpychello
04:02.33brlcadand howdy to you too, Ale_1001
04:03.23Ale_1001hello brlcad
04:03.34Ale_1001can you help me?
04:03.43Ale_1001i am trying to compile brlcad
04:03.46brlcadthat's hard to say without knowing the problem ;)
04:04.00brlcadwhich version?
04:04.05brlcadwhich operating system?
04:04.19Ale_1001http://ibot.rikers.org/%23brlcad/20060202.html.gz
04:04.26Ale_1001look at the end
04:04.33Ale_1001i have the same problem
04:04.49Ale_1001../../src/libdm/.libs/libdm.so: undefined reference to `XFreeDeviceList'
04:06.07Ale_1001when compiling /usr/src/bwish
04:06.22Ale_1001/usr/brlcad/src/bwish
04:07.09brlcadokay, that sounded like an X11 library missing from the link line
04:08.48Ale_1001[root@localhost .libs]# strings libdm.so |grep XFreeDeviceList
04:08.48Ale_1001XFreeDeviceList
04:08.58brlcadrun this:  find /usr/X11R6/lib -name lib\*.a -exec nm -o {} 2>&1 \; | grep XFreeDeviceList
04:09.20brlcadmight just be missing libXi
04:11.32Ale_1001[root@localhost .libs]# find /usr/X11R6/lib -name lib\*.a -exec nm -o {} 2>&1 \; | grep XFreeDeviceList
04:11.33Ale_1001[root@localhost .libs]#
04:11.36Ale_1001nop
04:11.53brlcadah, interesting, that's likely why
04:11.57brlcadno X11 input library
04:12.17brlcadwhich operating system is this?
04:12.26Ale_1001its fedora 7
04:16.37brlcadhrm, that should be in the xorg-x11-libs rpm
04:19.01brlcadAle_1001: do you have a libXi somewhere?
04:19.37Ale_1001[root@localhost bwish]# locate libXi
04:19.38Ale_1001/usr/lib/libXi.so
04:19.38Ale_1001/usr/lib/libXi.so.6
04:19.38Ale_1001/usr/lib/libXi.so.6.0.0
04:20.52brlcadahh, there it is
04:21.13brlcadso then this should find it?  find /usr/lib -name lib\*.a -exec nm -o {} 2>&1 \; | grep XFreeDeviceList
04:22.06brlcadthat's rather bizarre/unconventional (and probably wrong) to have X11 libraries in /usr/lib
04:23.14Ale_1001[root@localhost bwish]# find /usr/lib -name lib\*.a -exec nm -o {} 2>&1 \; | grep XFreeDeviceList
04:23.14Ale_1001[root@localhost bwish]#
04:23.30Ale_1001its not there
04:23.35brlcadah, no static lib
04:23.41brlcadthat find was only looking in .a files
04:24.27brlcadso the fix should be something as simple as: cd src/bwish && make LIBS=-lXi
04:25.43Ale_1001right!!!
04:25.50Ale_1001it work!!!
04:25.55Ale_1001you are a master!!
04:26.03Ale_1001i will continue compiling...
04:26.14brlcadyou'll probably need to do it again in src/mged
04:26.52Ale_1001okis
05:11.09Ale_1001it works!!
