It's been a couple years since I've done a 32-bit compile myself, but I would still expect it to still work. Whether we keep all the right cmake+header defines correct so that it works out of the box ... that's clearly the issue. We have a new Jenkins CI installation in place where we can make sure 32-bit is added to the list of tested configurations. I would not, however, anticipate us going out of our way given it's no longer common. Cheers! Sean |

Hi,
I just tried to compile BRL-CAD 7.30.4 with MS Visual Studio 2019 for
win32, but got a lot of errors. Most of them are connected to off_t in
vls. However, are 32 bit platforms still officially supported?

Hi Abhay, Welcome to BRL-CAD. Happy to see some interest in OGV. Apologies for the delayed reply, I had taken a semi-break from coding for the last couple of months, but would love your help in OGV. <snip> > Adding features to OGV is the plan as most of front-end and backend foundations are there, and heavy lifting can be done by WAsm. If you are interested in OGV in general - I would suggest going through some of the issues we have on GitHub. I think before going to WAsM we should be improving the code quality of OGV code. I am using CodeClimate and Deepscan as a direction/guidance. However my efforts are going really slow - so any help in that would also be hugely appreciated. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts, ping me on zulip or here. -- Inderpreet Singh Ekoankar Sahai sin...@gm... |

Thanks Sean! Yeah currently there are limits on WebAssembly, most prominent ones being can't block main thread, cant use threading+SIMD and can't use the GUI(sort of). UI is mainly to be handled by JavaScript. However, OpenGL calls are mapped automatically to webGL in case of emscripten. Adding features to OGV is the plan as most of front-end and backend foundations are there, and heavy lifting can be done by WAsm. I am also looking in to other projects so that I get to maximise learning about programming and platforms.

It’s not exactly like you can just take any code and recompile and run it successfully via WebAssembly… :) Having BRL-CAD in a browser is a similar objective of the Online Geometry Viewer (OGV) project, though that infrastructure is not based on recompilation. I think there might be some interesting possibilities of recompiling a piece of BRL-CAD for WebAssembly such as the libged library (which forms the basis of most of MGED commands), but then you would 1) have to detangle some bits of Tcl, 2) investigate what other limitations WebAssembly imposes on system calls (e.g., I/O), and 3) probably demo even the smallest bit of proof of concept that this could be turned into something viable. > Apart from that I am really interested in "Multi threaded Geometry evaluation" of OpenSCAD > > Which direction should I go?

Hello everyone! I am Abhay Raj Singh, sophomore at NIT Hamirpur Bharat(India), wishing to participate in GSoC this year. I have gone through many ideas, but, I would like to propose one of my own. I came to know about WebAssembly a while ago, it lets you run C, C++, Rust i.e. native code in browsers! Offering highly portable development. AutoCAD a popular non-OS software already provide it's IDE that runs in browser. Apart from that I am really interested in "Multi threaded Geometry evaluation" of OpenSCAD Which direction should I go? Thanks and regards |

First, check that the CMake variable BRLCAD_BUNDLED_LIBS is at least set to
AUTO. Then, install libxml, libexslt, and libxslt (everything which
is included in the misc/tools/xmltools directory) from wherever it works.
After this, the build shouldn't touch the xmltools directory any more.
(Clean up the build directory before your next CMake run.)
The directories included in the BRLCAD_BUNDLED_LIBS build are written to
the SRC_OTHER_ADDED_DIRS CMake variable.

Without having tested it, I'm afraid that gcc 4.2 won't work. BRL_CAD uses
some recent C and C++ language features. However, you could point CMake to
the IRIX gcc to use this instead and see what happens.

Daniel

Hello, Currently I am trying to compile the latest release of BRL-CAD (7.28.0) on IRIX. I have a couple of questions about the compilation process and hopefully the answers can help me to get it to build - Currently the main problems I seem to have with getting it to build come from libxml. Is it possible to disable the XML module from compiling? The cmake file seems to suggest so but I can't quite tell how. - When cmake runs, it correctly detects the compiled as GCC 9.2 (a port to IRIX). However during the build process the build fails due to a compiler error. The make files generated by cmake are attempting to use a MIPSPro compiler flag (-rdata_shared) even though it detects the compiler as GCC 9.2. Would it be better to use something like GCC 4.2 (I think the last GCC that supported IRIX) or use MIPSPro? Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/ghei36> |

Hello Shubham, Sorry for the late respond. Your mail got somehow lost in the pre-Christmas fuss, and I found it again only recently. Nice to her, that you are interested in BRL-CAD. There are two ways you can start, and you should do both: 1.) Learn about 3D solid modelling with BR-CAD. If you want to contribute to BRL-CAD, you need to know what it does and how. You can install the program from a binary package (e.g. https://sourceforge.net/projects/brlcad/files/BRL-CAD%20for%20Windows/7.26.0/BRL-CAD_7.26.0.2_x64.exe/download for Windows), read the documentation on our web site https://brlcad.org/, and do the tutorial https://brlcad.org/w/images/c/cf/Introduction_to_MGED.pdf. You will learn much about typical BRL-CAD use-cases this way. 2.) Compile the BRL-CAD programs from source code Prerequisites are Subversion, CMake, and a compiler (Visual Studio for Windows). You will find more information here: http://brlcad.org/wiki/Building_from_SVN and here: https://brlcad.org/wiki/Compiling (for Linux). Then, you can lookout for small programming tasks. For example, by understanding and fixing a bug (https://sourceforge.net/p/brlcad/bugs/). Regards, Daniel Am Fr., 20.

Just a word of caution to mentors — I will be auto-uploading many of the .json task descriptions from 2017, so you don’t have to worry about adding tasks that we already had. Cheers!

Hi Sean, I'd be happy to volunteer as GCI mentor. I was a part of GSoC last year with BRL-CAD project. Since this would be my first time, let me go through the previous years' tasks, get the gist of it and then I'll add the tasks. Hope that helps.

Hi All, I think I may have said there wouldn’t be another e-mail asking, but we could really use more GCI mentors. If you’re able to help, especially over the next couple weeks as there’s an initial rush of kids, your help would be greatly appreciated. If you can just write up task ideas, that can help — go to http://brlcad.org/wiki/Google_Code_In/2019/Tasks <http://brlcad.org/wiki/Google_Code_In/2019/Tasks> to brainstorm or send me task writeups via e-mail. Even if you can only help review student submissions 1 day a week, that would help. Send me an e-mail and I’ll get you set up. If you’re willing to do more, that would be great too of course. GCI is a phenomenal program for interacting with fresh contributors and making changes to BRL-CAD in a very short period of time. We get YEARS of work submitted to us over just a few weeks of the program. The more mentors we have, the faster we respond to them, the more BRL-CAD and our community benefit. Cheers! Sean |

FYI, BRL-CAD was accepted into GCI 2019. If you’d like to mentor tasks and haven’t said anything yet, please send me an e-mail. Thank you to the 12 or so that stepped up already. As mentioned in earlier messages, wanting to focus more on specific objectives, ideally tasks that don’t involve downloading more than one thing. That said, I’m very interested in setting up task chains that span codes like building up the DXF library that OpenSCAD worked on under GSoC or building a BRL-CAD workbench in FreeCAD or creating geometry validation test sets that can be used by multiple projects, etc. If you’d like to brainstorm, please join the discussion at https://brlcad.zulipchat.com <https://brlcad.zulipchat.com/> Cheers!

You’re not too late, Inderpreet, thanks! Please think of some good tasks, ideally 10-20 per mentor, but nothing generic this year like designing cards. Looking to focus more on code, tests, web, modeling, and artwork tasks — things of immediate use. Thank you to all that responded. We’re over 10 mentors wrangled for GCI so we can proceed! I’m working on the application now and will set up GCI-specific communication soon so we can get to planning. If anyone is willing to volunteer setting up a virtual machine like we’ve provided in the past, please let me know ASAP. This would let us incorporate coding tasks across different repos since we can pre-download and unify instructions. If not, we’ll just have to make sure coding tasks are as independent as possible (e.g., implement a function to do X). Cheers!

Hi Kartik, Thank you for the quick reply and interest. Not a problem. GCI is typically for small tasks; ideally succinct self-contained work that might take someone experienced around 1-2 hours of effort (including any setup). That is because the goal is tasks that will take a young student (13-17 years old) with nominal or no experience about 2-4 hours of effort. This typically means breaking larger features and goals down into very specific general concepts, e.g., implement just 1 function that takes X,Y for input and produces Z' as an output or return value. It helps if tasks can be very easily reviewed without subjectivity. It’s more work to define tasks, but the productivity can be astounding because the kids are trying to complete as many tasks as possible to win. In years prior, I think we’ve accepted about 400-900 completed tasks each year. We need a minimum of 100 task descriptions to get started. Unlike GSoC, the work can be to write code, docs, tests, design, artwork, etc (just not translation). Mentors can define nearly any task that might take the student 2-4 hours of effort, so LibreCAD, FreeCAD, STEPcode, Slic3r, etc, are all fair game. The only issue is having a requirement to download and compile as that’s typically a task in itself (they get only 2 beginner tasks). Kids reported having different sets of instructions and tasks was very confusing. What will work, though, are tasks that can be implemented or worked on independently, or that are part of a chain of tasks (e.g., Task 1 of 3: do X; Task 2 of 3: do Y; Task 3 of 3: do Z). We’ve had a virtual machine image in years prior where we downloaded and set everything up for them and that worked really well and we could do it again, but someone (!) would need to volunteer to do that work to set it up.

Hi sean I received your mail regarding GCI mentoring. I was a part of gsoc with LibreCAD project. Yes i am interested in GCI. Right now i am travelling and in a hurry. I can talk on Monday now. Hope that's not a problem. I am not much aware of GCI.. Will the projects of only brl or librecad both?

LAST CALL for interest in mentoring for GCI this year! We have a few responses, but not yet enough. As most of you know, GCI can be pretty intense and really requires a lot of mentors able to spend a couple minutes a day reviewing task submissions. Fwiw, orgs typically get to send an additional GCI delegate to the mentor summit and this is usually given to one of the most active GCI mentors. Again, any coding is fair game but it's ideally tasks that don’t require much setup — tasks can be chained, however, to achieve more complex results. For example, we got BRL-CAD ray tracing running in parallel on Windows by defining separate tasks for implementing functions that lock/unlock a semaphore, create/delete a thread, a semaphore unit test, a threading unit test, and an integration test. Tasks do not have to be limited to code and can include things like designing icons, panels, single static web pages, etc. If you are interested, please just send me a quick e-mail or message on Zulip. Ideally before Monday, please. :) Cheers! Sean > On Oct 10, 2019, at 9:39 PM, Christopher Sean Morrison <br...@ma...> wrote: > > > Is there interest in participating in GCI this year?

Is there interest in participating in GCI this year? We took a break last year with the schedule changed too close to GSoC, but now it’s shifted back. We made some really cool GUI and sample geometry progress that we could build upon as task sets, along with other potential tasks, but we need at least a half dozen mentors, ideally 10 or more. Mentors from any project are welcome BUT tasks will need to be independent of repos — that seemed particularly confusing last time. It just means tasks will need to be chained as sets and be more succinct (eg implement a function that does X). If you’re interested, please email me back a quick note as soon as possible. Cheers!

Hi All, The Academy Software Foundation folks (which consists of production companies using Blender and other open source tools for content creation for film and games) just put out a visual I thought others might find interesting: https://landscape.aswf.io <https://landscape.aswf.io/> It would be really useful to see something like this for the CAD/CAM/CAE pipelines and where open source tools currently sit. Cheers! Sean |
