01:19.57hcurtisbrlcad: Hi, Sean. I'm checking in. What would be ideal is a Linux build environment, so today I went to a few computer stores to see what was available. I thought that someone would sell at least one Linux laptop, but that was not the case.

02:17.04hsraihcurits: https://system76.com/ is Linux only store. Dell / Lenovo have certain model with Linux installed, or DOS only. BTW, why you wish to buy Linux pre-installed machine? Whatever you have try to install Linux yourslef. If you are going to buy a new one, go to a co-operative vender, who allow you to test computer (for Linux working) before you buy.
02:31.14hcurtishsrai: Hi. Thank you for the information. I did not think it would be hard to find a Linux laptop with a high-quality processor (ideally, quad-core). The laptop I have now has Windows 7 and an Intel Celeron processor. I guess I could try installing Linux on it, but I don’t know how it would affect the programs I already have installed. I have never installed an operating system before.
02:38.08mihaineacsuhcurtis: over the years, the process of installing a widely used linux distribution (such as ubuntu, mint, ...) has gotten easier and easier. It should be pretty straight forward. Here are the usual steps for installing for eg ubuntu https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall
02:43.07mihaineacsuhcurtis: the only thing you should check out is how ubuntu affects your boot configuration along with windows 7, so you can dual-boot on both. I haven't been running windows for some time now (just a VM for my operating systems class where we had to do homework on both linux and windows machines) so I can't tell you for sure how it will work out after your ubuntu installation. But I think there's plenty of posts out there on how to make windows 7

08:36.58hcurtisbrlcad: Update: I have been re-reading http://svn.code.sf.net/p/brlcad/code/brlcad/trunk/HACKING.
08:40.47hcurtisbrlcad: You might be wondering why I’m re-reading these documents. The first time I read them was back when I was writing my proposal and when class was in session. I had to read the documents hurriedly, and I skimmed or skipped sections that were less relevant at the time. Now that I am working on my GSoC project, I'm reading the docs more carefully so that I can use them to help orient myself.
08:41.31hcurtisbrlcad: Since I know a lot more about BRL-CAD now than I did in April, the documents make more sense.
08:43.03hcurtisbrlcad: Will you give me the web address of the dev log of a past GSoCer who did them the way you like? If I can see those, I’ll be better able to do them the way you want.

14:12.57raj12lnmI just saw it is not used any where.
14:13.20raj12lnmI believe with/without it will have the same behaviour
14:14.15d_rossbergbrlcad: i'm just on the "cmake on windows" issue
14:15.07d_rossbergthe reason for the different behavior on windows and linux is the CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES variable
14:15.18d_rossbergit exists on windows only
14:16.23d_rossbergremoving the windows stuff and using the other (i.e. linux) section for all seems to work for all

14:40.42teepee-ankesh11: the public one would be completly different. (not starting with 192.168 / http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network)
14:41.21ankesh11teepee-: Thanks, it makes sense now. :)
14:41.24teepee-ankesh11: depending on your setup you might need to setup a port forwarding in your router that connects to your ISP

14:47.53teepee-ankesh11: make sure you don't just leave it running. as this needs to be done carefully. it essentially puts a hole in the firewall so internet access is possible to that computer/port

14:59.25starseekerd_rossberg: what problem are you seeing?  The problem of multiple possible configurations at build time is tool specific, and currently only Visual Studio and XCode need that flexibility
14:59.57starseekerIt's been a while since I did extensive testing of those mechanisms, so there may well be some bugs that have crept in

19:33.58starseekerah nuts, I remember now - the PATH complexity for CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES builds is because that path can change at *build time* in those builds, and so the header has to be updated by the build system and not by CMake
