Hi Bruce -- don't know if you're going to get this message through the
lists or not so I CC'd you directly.

To diagnose this we'll need to know more about how Arch packaged it.
I see no such segfaults on Gentoo, which to me means its likely
related to the libraries that are being used -- especially which
variant and version of javascript engine.

Do you have access to those details?

[FreeWRL-help] new 3.0.0 on linux

[Bruce M. <bmi...@uw...>]

Hi Freewrl team,

A quick note.  The official Arch Linux build for freewrl was recently updated 
from 1.22.13.1-12 -> 3.0.0-1.  (Odd that it skipped the 2.X releases?)  
Trouble is the 3.0.0 segfaults immediately on start.  Tried on two different 
machines, both Arch, but one with nvidia, the other with intel graphics.  I 
tried downloading the source and compiling it myself, same result.  Tried 
compiling the 2.3.3.1 myself, works fine.  Help?

[FreeWRL-help] FreeWRL Linux 2.3.3.1

[Ian S. A. <ia...@ae...>]

Hi Everyone -- I am pleased to announce that a new tarball release of
FreeWRL 2.3.3 , freewrl-2.3.3.1.tar.gz , is now available for download
on SourceForge.

This release addresses some autotools build issues and includes files
that our 'make dist' had previously missed, but the code itself is
otherwise unchanged.  So if you were previously able to build and
install freewrl-2.3.3 to your liking, there is no need for you to
download the new release.

Thank you for your patience, and happy viewing!

[FreeWRL-help] FeeeWRL Linux Release 2.3.3

[Ian S. A. <ia...@ae...>]

Hi all,

FreeWRL 2.3.3 Linux version as been released.
You can pick it up here
http://sourceforge.net/projects/freewrl/files/freewrl-linux/2.0/freewrl-2.3.3.tar.gz/download
whilst it's hot ! :)

There have been so many changes since the last release that listing them
all would be an exaggeration and cherry-picking only a few would not
give enough credit to everyone involved.
I couldn't find a good way to have the sourceforge git browser display a
link to a diff of both tags the best I could do is an history log
beginning on the FREEWRL_2_3_3 tag.
https://sourceforge.net/p/freewrl/git/ci/d868f2a0d3ac5ac31a45f559dd24937a20b2c837/log/?path=

Anyway I would just like to thank everyone that helped in the process of
making this release happen.
Let's all please keep up the good work.

Regards,



                 PECastro

Also, Is there a quit button that can be easy added to the statusbar?

as a plugin. However ... it doesn't work properly: just light gray

I didn't package this, so I can't say for sure whether or not the plugin
was actually built as part of this package or not.  However, if it was
built in, it might be due to an incompatibility with firefox >= 5.  I do
recall that a change was made to the plugin code which increased its
compatibility, which was included in the freewrl-122.12_pre2 release.  I
don't know if .deb files were ever rolled for that one, though.

Hopefully someone else on the list can chime in and provide additional
guidance.

[FreeWRL-help] freewrl is not recognized as a plugin

[Ruslan Ax <axr...@gm...>]

I have installed freewrl and it successfully works as a stand-alone
program. But it doesn't appear in the list of plugins of Firefox, though
files libFreeWRLplugin.so and libFreeWRLplugin.la exist in the directory
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/.

My system: Kubuntu 12.04, 64bit;
Browser: Firefox 12.0

freewrl was installed from freewrl_1.22.10-1_amd64.deb package.

How to make it work as a plugin?

[FreeWRL-help] Moving around in scene

[Truman L. <lac...@gm...>]

I am pretty new to freewrl and I am trying to move around in the scene using
EAI.  My initial test seems to work using a Viewpoint and changing position
and rotation, but as soon as I move the Viewpoint my rotations do not work
correctly.  Is there a good example around on how to accomplish this? I'm
not sure if I am converting my yaw, pitch, roll of the viewpoint into the
correct format.

I have also written a gtk widget that embedds freewrl into a window and I
can not move a viewpoint using EAI if I move the scene with the mouse.  Is
there a possible work around for this?

Thanks,

Truman

[FreeWRL-help] iPhone issues

[Ryan A. <rya...@gm...>]

I was very happy to see a working iPhone version and I look forward to
future updates for WRL on the platform.

I'm having a few issues that I hope you can help me with on loading models
into the iPhone.

1. Some of my models can load, but sometimes I get this for even models I've
already loaded:

At connection: didFinishLoading  Received 902247 bytes of data
FreeWRL(5647,0xa055c540) malloc: *** error for object 0x60d8004: incorrect
checksum for freed object - object was probably modified after being freed.

2.  Does the static iPhone library expose any calls for rotate / scale /
etc?  Are there docs somewhere that I can find this stuff?  Or do I have to
make a call to glScaleF() ?

3.  If I have the path for my model in my Documents directory, can I call it
through OSX_initializeParameters  ?

[FreeWRL-help] Building against xulrunner 2.

[Steve T. <st...@tr...>]

Hi,
 I've been looking at adding freewrl to Fedora/EPEL.

 The good news is that everything is fine on RHEL5, 6
 and also on current on Fedora desktops.

 However what will eventually be Fedora 15 has
 xulrunner 2 and this build fails with as below.

 I'm sure xulrunner 2 is to new to be of any interest
 to most people at the moment but having it build
 on the latest is almost a pre-requisite to adding
 to Fedora.

 I've put the full build log here:
 http://cern.ch/straylen/rpms/freewrl/f15-build.log.txt
 and a list of what was installed first for the build here.

Re: [FreeWRL-help] Setting the freewrl window size on Mac OS X

Thanks, John.

One quirk is that this only works when an input file is specified on
the command line, i.e. this works:

freewrl -geom 100x100 foo.wrl

but this doesn't:

freewrl -geom 100x100

Thanks again for your help :)

I just tried this; 

freewrl -geom 400x900 /FreeWRL/freewrl/freewrl/tests/1.wrl

gives a skinny, tall window; 

"--geom" also works. the full "--geometry" does not, however!

You can also set the window size by pulling the bottom right corner of the window, then doing the FreeWRL "File" -> "quit". IIRC, there is a bug whereby if you hit the "q" key to quit, the new window size is not saved.

The OSX front end does need a bit of work; it's not too bad, but there are rough edges there.

(I'll submit these bugs; I'll probably be the one to fix them, too.)

Hope this helps;

[FreeWRL-help] Setting the freewrl window size on Mac OS X

[Harmon N. <har...@gm...>]

Hello.

Is there any way to explicitly set the window geometry (i.e. size) in
the OS X version of freewrl.  In the linux version, you can set it
with the --geometry <WxH> command-line option.  This does not appear
to be the case in OS X.

Ian --

My system is Debian running in a VirtualBox virtual machine.

Strange.  I was running freewrl last night, and now it won't work.
Here's the output when I try to run it:

FreeWRL got a SIGSEGV - can you please mail the file(s) to

Are you building from CVS or from the 1.22.9 release tarball? 

Do you know if you're using curl or wget to retrieve content? (can be
specified with --enable-curl or --with-wget=/usr/bin/wget -- i can't
remember what the default is)

If you're using the CVS version, do you have an intel graphics chip? if
so it's possible that the error has to do with VBO's being enabled
mistakenly..

Update:

I just tried running freewrl from the command line and it didn't work
(got a SIGSEGV).  Going to try recompiling/reinstalling.

Re: [FreeWRL-help] Installing the freewrl plugin for iceweasel (a.k.a. firefox) on Debian

[Harmon N. <har...@gm...>]

Hi, Ian.

Thanks for replying so quickly. :)

It appears the problem was that, after installing FreeWRL, I forgot to
run ldconfig to get it to update the cache (BTW, /usr/local/lib, where
libFreeWRL.so is located, is in ld.so.conf).  However, now what I'm
getting when iceweasel tries to load a .wrl file is a window that
disappears as quickly as it appears.  When run from the command-line,
iceweasel renders the following output:

1286296890.372162: FreeWRL plugin: NPP_Initialize
1286296890.373249: FreeWRL plugin: NPP_New, argc 3NP_EMBED

Could I get a little more info on your system?  Which distro are you
using?  Also, do you know if, when you ran ./configure, it chose to
using 'mozilla-plugin' from iceweasel?

If you wish, you can make freewrl install the plugin directly to
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins (or whatever the plugin path is for iceweasel)
by specifying the --with-plugindir= option to ./configure

Finally, does freewrl run as a standalone program?  if not, it could be
that the plugin is having trouble finding the main libFreeWRL.so file,
in which case you should update your LDPATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH to
include /usr/local/lib

[FreeWRL-help] Installing the freewrl plugin for iceweasel (a.k.a. firefox) on Debian

[Harmon N. <har...@gm...>]

Hello.

I've downloaded and compiled Freewrl from source, including the plugin .so file.
>From what I can tell, the plugin library is

libFreeWRLplugin.so

which was installed in the /usr/local/lib/mozilla/plugins directory.

How do I get iceweasel to use the plugin?   I've tried created a
symlink to /usr/local/lib/mozilla/plugins/libFreeWRLplugin.so
from the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins directory, but iceweasel still
doesn't recognize it.

Thanks.

Hi,

Michel, until this is sorted you may want to send to me, and I will
