  • Comment: wxc build doesn't install libwxc.so

    To the best of my understanding, "./Setup copy" is supposed to perform the installation -- except for registering the built packages with the compiler. We perform that last step separately, i.e. by running "./Setup register". In my humble opinion, wxc's Setup.hs file should support the copy phase properly, i.e. it should copy the shared object it built.

  • wxc build doesn't install libwxc.so

    When I build and install wxc on Nixos, then the Setup.hs procedure fails to installs the generated libwxc.so DLL into the target directory. A complete build log is attached below that shows the output from running "./Setup configure -v3 && ./Setup build && ./Setup copy -v3".

  • --enable-offscreen shouldn't disable the 3D viewer

    The default version of asymptote links with OpenGL to provide a 3D previewer for diagrams that use the "three" module. That version cannot support the --offscreen run-time flag, though. When asymptote is built with --enable-offscreen, the --offscreen flag can be used, but then the 3D viewer is gone! Would it be possible to support both offscreen rendering and 3D viewing in the same...

  • install target in doc/Makefile.am doesn't honor --sysconfdir

    The network config file should be installed to $sysconfdir instead of hardcoding the /etc path.

  • Comment: Asymptote 2.15 cannot PDF-render this 3d image

    I just found out: asymptote renders the image correctly when I specify "-render n" manually. When I use n=-1, however, the image comes out empty.

  • Asymptote 2.15 cannot PDF-render this 3d image

    When I render the attached image for EPS output using asy -offscreen -tex pdflatex -f eps cylindrical-coordinates.asy ..., it works fine. Asymptote also shows the image correctly in the previewer. When I render it for PDF output, however, using asy -offscreen -tex pdflatex -f pdf cylindrical-coordinates.asy ..., then I get just an empty image.

  • Comment: Asymptote 2.15 crash during 3d rendering

    Right, I updated mesa and libdri, and now the error is gone. Sorry about the misleading bug report.

  • Weird info file location

    asymptote installs its info file as $prefix/share/info/asymptote/asymptote.info. This seems quite unusual. Is there a particular reason why that extra directory hierarchy is in place?.
