Same python, but different kind of default C compiler - clang. Old is gcc, and it can be a main failure point 11:32 < theirix> yes, that one 11:32 < kanzure> ah right.. the switch to clang/llvm 11:33 < theirix> exactly. old CXX was a gcc/llvm, but new CXX is clang and it has a lot of incompatibilities with FSF software (you can check homebrew forums) 11:34 < theirix> homebrew script… it is a good idea but it's a lot harder than a fixed build environment. I think it could be a second step in os x porting. 11:36 < kanzure> what was the status of the 10.6 branch? 11:43 < theirix> build succeeded (in 64-bit mode as I remember) but there were problems with a opengl and qt. NE1 was very unstable and crashed almost immediately. I think it is because of new incompatible versions of PyQt and PyOpengl . I reported these issues in details a year ago, we can check emails. 11:43 < theirix> I can reproduce it on a newer system. Do you have any osx for debugging? 11:44 < kanzure> i have osx 10.7.2 and 10.6.8 11:44 < kanzure> i also have debian squeeze and winxp sp2 available 11:49 < theirix> okay, have you tried to build NE1 from my branch on 10.6? 11:50 < kanzure> not yet 11:52 < theirix> so you can start with this. stability of that build is a main problem now I think. 11:52 < kanzure> someone compiling on gentoo also experienced pyopengl api errors (something about glePolyCone) 11:53 < kanzure> http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1617867 11:53 < kanzure> someone also committed some fixes for modern ubuntu.. doesn't completely work: 11:53 < kanzure> https://github.com/nmz787/nanoengineer/commits/ubuntu-fixes 11:59 < theirix> gentoo problem looks like library incompatibility too 12:00 -!- docl [~luke@unaffiliated/docl] has joined ##hplusroadmap 12:00 < kanzure> hello docl 12:00 < docl> hi kanzure 12:01 < docl> saw your mention of this channel in #lesswrong 12:01 < kanzure> theirix: yes.. we need to start with a base version and work from there 12:01 < kanzure> for instance.. upgrade the nanoengineer ubuntu 7 chroot to ubuntu 8, then to 9, fixing the problems on the way 12:01 < kanzure> also: there are some but not many unit tests.. i should write more unit tests to make testing easier on each version of ubuntu 12:02 < kanzure> presumably a new version that works on modern ubuntu would work on modern other OSes (except OSX because of clang....) 12:02 < kanzure> s/a new version that works/a new version that compiles 12:03 < theirix> kanzure: good idea. i think differences between all ubuntues are not very large, so we can make a fast progress 12:03 < kanzure> do you have linux somewhere? maybe a vm? 12:04 < kanzure> i have the nanoengineer-chroot installed on gnusha.org and could give you an account to login to it.. it works with X11 forwarding 12:04 < theirix> a lot of virtual boxes for my build system. i can set up a clean ubuntu but without any acceleration. 12:05 < kanzure> i dunno if it works with mesa or not 12:06 < kanzure> i wonder if i should write unit tests or immediately upgrade to ubuntu 8 to see what breaks 12:08 < theirix> virtualbox has a experimental 3d support 12:11 < theirix> don't forget to make debs with stable versions 12:11 < kanzure> heh :) 12:11 < kanzure> oh you mean for each version ? 12:11 < kanzure> i mean.. one deb per ubuntu version? 12:12 < theirix> yes, for 7, 8 etc 12:12 < kanzure> good idea. okay. 12:13 < kanzure> not all the dependencies have .debs.. hmm 12:15 < theirix> of course. so we should package them in deb too.

I'm intrigued. 21:13 < strangewarp> sylph_mako: Puredata, namely. Designed mainly for audio applications, though people have done crazy graphical stuff with certain extensions. The main property of a dataflow lang is that each command is represented by a box, and they're connected by tethers. 21:14 < strangewarp> Really weird combination of low-level and high-level commands. 21:15 < strangewarp> Bit counterintuitive. Tough learning curve. MAX/MSP is more user-friendly, but it's closed-source and costs big cashmoneys. 21:18 < sylph_mako> strangewarp, I wasn't aware that it was assumed that all dataflow languages are graphical. Though I suppose it'd be bound to be horrible in ascii. 21:18 -!- jmil [~jmil@c-68-81-252-40.hsd1.pa.comcast.net] has joined ##hplusroadmap 21:18 < strangewarp> indeed 21:18 < sylph_mako> Could you imagine a way of coding in one that wasn't all clicky clicky, painfully slow? 21:19 < strangewarp> The clicking isn't too bad, in Puredata or (as I understand it) MAX/MSP. Alleviated by keyboard shortcuts, really. Not perfectly though. 21:21 < sylph_mako> I have this plan to make one which is more point with one hand and type with the other. Still not sure how I'll handle variable names when it'll be uncomfortable to have the user typing on more than one half of the keyboard.. 21:21 < strangewarp> There are always chording keyboards, which can be used one-handed with decent speed and full coverage.. 21:22 < strangewarp> Take a bit of time to get used to though. :/ 21:22 < sylph_mako> Chording? But... most users' keyboards can't do that. 21:22 < strangewarp> indeed, there's the rub 21:22 < sylph_mako> And it sure is a rub. 21:23 < sylph_mako> This language already requires a specialist IDE, should I go ahead and add a specialist input device? Hehehehe 21:23 < strangewarp> You could do something weird with only commonly using symbols from one-half of a keyboard... 21:24 < strangewarp> Heh, I'm currently writing a program in a specialist IDE, for two specialist input devices, and two specialist protocols ;) 21:24 < strangewarp> (I'm dressing it up, it's just a MIDI/OSC sequencer thing, nothing scientific) 21:25 -!- nathaniel [~nathaniel@reddit/operator/nathaniel] has joined ##hplusroadmap 21:28 < sylph_mako> So you're making some exotic instrument? 21:29 < strangewarp> Nah, I'm just re-re-rewriting my musical sequencer for a Monome/MIDI setup 8) 21:31 < strangewarp> The exotic instruments are already made... I've got a couple digital-analog synthesizers and a home-built overdrive box 21:33 < strangewarp> And a really cheap shitty drum machine, of a brand that is /supposde/ to be easy to modify, but the company made a hardware revision on their older models, so it's impossible to modify them and you nearly fry them if you try.
