[17:24] <madtux> mm... in the tourism industry they use the term "guests" to define sex girls
[17:24] <madtux> :)
[17:25] <madtux> blindcoder: we are in the same frequency i guess :)

[17:41] <ojh> Hello. I have some questions about writing 'desc' and 'conf' files for adding packages.

[17:41] <blindcoder> fake: yeah, thought so :)
[17:41] <blindcoder> fake: have fun :)
[17:41] <fake> i will!
[17:43] <ojh> I want to build the 0.40 version of Inkscape but it equires a 'libgc' that by default trys to overwrite headder files provided by gcc. Of course ROCK stops such foolishness. How can I pass a custom install prefix using the '.conf' file?
[17:44] <blindcoder> ojh: that's easy:
[17:44] <blindcoder> ojh: just add -  for example - prefix="/opt/libgc"
[17:44] <blindcoder> ojh: in the conf file
[17:44] <blindcoder> eh
[17:45] <blindcoder> prefix="opt/libgc"
[17:45] <blindcoder> this way

[17:48] <tcr> th: ping?
[17:50] <ojh> My build of libgc failed :( i got:

[17:50] <ojh> !> usr/include/gc_cpp.h: gcc3 libgc
[17:50] <ojh> !> usr/include/gc_local_alloc.h: gcc3 libgc
[17:50] <ojh> !> usr/include/gc_pthread_redirects.h: gcc3 libgc
[17:51] <ojh> Any thoughts on what went wrong?
[17:51] <mnemoc> rock-2.0?
[17:52] <ojh> Yes 2.0
[17:53] <ojh> My log shows for the configure:
[17:53] <ojh> Running  ./configure --prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --libdir=/usr/lib --datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --infodir=/usr/info --mandir=/usr/man --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --disable-debug --enable-libpam --enable-pam --build=i386-unknown-linux-gnu --host=i386-unknown-linux-gnu --enable-cplusplus
[17:53] Action: madtux feel a flood
[17:53] <ojh> So it ignored the prefix directive
[17:54] <blindcoder> just a moment
[17:54] <ojh> THX
[17:54] <mnemoc> lunch :)
[17:54] <blindcoder> oh
[17:54] <blindcoder> # This function sets the 'confopt' and some other variables.
[17:54] <blindcoder> # Re-run it in the package .conf file if you modify $prefix
[17:54] <blindcoder> that's why :)
[17:54] <blindcoder> ojh: try this:
[17:55] <blindcoder> if [ $prefix_auto = 1 ] ; then
[17:55] <blindcoder> prefix="opt/libgc"
[17:55] <blindcoder> set_confopt
[17:55] <blindcoder> fi
[17:55] <mnemoc> when did you introduced libgc on 2.0?
[17:56] <mnemoc> bbl 
[17:56] <ojh> After syncing with the package tree using Subversion.
[17:57] <ojh> Attempting the emerge again
[17:57] <th> tcr: what's up?
[17:59] <tcr> th: the /etc/profile that comes with Rock sets INPUTRC automatically to /etc/inputrc. I'd favor dispatching on the condition if $HOME/.inputc exists or not.
[18:00] <tcr> ~/.inputrc of course.
[18:01] <ojh> blindcoder: OK, the prefix directive was set correctly but the libgc build ignored it :/
[18:01] <ojh> Messy . . .
[18:03] <blindcoder> ojh: then it's off to some Makefile patching :)
[18:04] <tcr> th: What d'ya think?
[18:06] <ojh> Yes it is . . . . thanks for the help :)
[18:10] <blindcoder> ojh: you're welcome (also to write down your experience in the newly-created-and-thus-nearly-empty-rock-documentation-wiki :)
[18:12] <ojh> Oh, wait it DID install in /opt/libgc but still gave errors about overwritong files in /usr . . . 
[18:13] <blindcoder> ojh: ah yes
[18:13] <blindcoder> ojh: you didn't remove libgc before reemerging?
[18:13] <ojh> And proped metadata generated in /var/adm
[18:14] <ojh> blindcoder: oh, I see . . . needed to 'mine -r libgc' first .  . .
[18:14] <blindcoder> ojh: Emerge-Pkg actually calls Build-Pkg -update wich _does_ _not_ delete existing files nor overwrite files whose content changed
[18:15] <blindcoder> ojh: for that reason the old flist is attached to the new one
[18:15] <ojh> blindcoder: I'll do it cleanly then.
[18:18] <ojh> blindcoder: Is there a site for optional and user contrib build scripts?
[18:18] <blindcoder> ojh: just submit it to submaster
[18:19] <ojh> blindcoder: I have a number of custom scripts completed, 9 packages to date :)

[20:58] <daja77> better?
[20:58] <blindcoder> much better :)
[20:59] <blindcoder> return(0);
[20:59] <daja77> sucks
[21:00] <blindcoder> guess I'll go to bed now. Have a few books to read :)
[21:00] <blindcoder> bye
[21:01] <daja77> n8 blindcoder

[21:21] <fake> it's working... dabdidabdidu
[21:22] Action: daja77 screaming around
[21:30] <daja77> hm why are we using kernel headers instead of glibc headers 
[21:34] <fake> daja77: *we* arent
[21:35] <daja77> i see that, but why
[21:36] <lewellyn> i think daja77 mean the "collective we"
[21:36] <fake> damn, this hard drive is *fast*
[21:37] <fake> daja is #77 of 230945808984390284 ?
[21:37] <fake> ;)
[21:37] <daja77> O_o
[21:37] <fake> daja77: becuase some information in the kernelheaders isn't replicated in glibc
[21:38] <fake> and people don't want to copy over and ship kernel headers for some reason
[21:38] <daja77> and the kernel headers are breaking apps 
[21:38] <fake> no the apps are broken
[21:38] <daja77> right
[21:38] <fake> the kernel header problem is that they are intended to be used only by the kernel
[21:38] <daja77> i know all that stuff
[21:38] <fake> so it's their proclaimed right to change whatever they want
[21:39] <fake> as long as the kernel compiles and works, it's fine
[21:39] <daja77> thing is that i just wanted to work a bit on rock, in the few minutes i have for rock, and that crap is stealing my time
[21:39] <fake> i think they're doing it on purpose, at least a bit, so app developers begin thinking twice about including kernel headers
[21:40] <lewellyn> fake: unfortunately, it will make even fewer distros be "supported"
[21:40] <daja77> think so, yes
[21:40] <lewellyn> "sorry, it only works on XXX and YYY. ZZZ will no longer be supported. everything else will not work."
[21:41] <lewellyn> vmware is bad enough about that
[21:41] <daja77> sometimes linxu just sucks
[21:42] <fake> vmware?
[21:42] <fake> the only problem i have with vmware is it insisting on the old dev layout
[21:42] <lewellyn> fake: like bochs, but not. :)
[21:42] <lewellyn> oh. my issue with vmware is that their first question is "what distro do you use?"
[21:42] <daja77> yeah
[21:43] <lewellyn> as soon as it's not one of the dozen or so versions they support, it's automatically a distro problem
[21:43] <fake> that's mostly because of the differen init.d / rc?.d locations
[21:43] <lewellyn> last time, when vmware crashed and i couldn't start my vms, i wouldn't let them get away with that
[21:43] <lewellyn> got a nice explanation of their locking mechanism, at least :)
[21:44] <fake> you called support and spoke to a techie?
[21:44] <lewellyn> they call me :)
[21:44] <lewellyn> local call
[21:45] <lewellyn> most of their guys are pretty clueless, though.
[21:45] <lewellyn> i'm sure i've ranted about vmware support in here.
[21:46] <lewellyn> i really need to add a few more sticks of ram to this box, though. it doesn't run well when i have 3-4 VMs running
[21:46] <fake> hm... why so many VMs ?
[21:47] <lewellyn> need to test on all flavors of windows
[21:48] <fake> wine ;-)))
[21:49] <fake> lookandfeel=win31/win95/win98/win2k/winxp ;)
[21:50] <lewellyn> but it's not really win95/95a/95b/95c/98/98se/2k/2ksp1/2ksp3/2ksp4/me/xp/spsp2...
[21:50] <lewellyn> when a client reports a specific behavior, we need to be able to duplicate it.
[21:51] <lewellyn> ideally, we'd like to see it beforehand
[21:51] <lewellyn> so they don't :)
[21:56] <lewellyn> i mean, i *could* install crossover linux and install most of the required apps. but it's still not going to be the same as doing things on a native os.
[21:56] <lewellyn> in some respects, wine is a better windows than windows. (on both edges of the sword)
[21:56] <fake> sure.
[21:57] <fake> i used vmware a lot, too, when i was working for a non-exclusively-unix company
[21:58] treo (~xfman@D842b.d.pppool.de) joined #rocklinux.
[21:58] Action: daja77 avoids wine whenever possible
[21:59] <fake> yes, but unfortunately vmware's directx/ogl support is no match for wine
[21:59] <lewellyn> i don't need such things :)
[21:59] <fake> the only reason i have wine is Battlefield Vietnam ;)
[22:00] <daja77> O_o
[22:00] <lewellyn> i mostly need outlook and a few browsers :)
[22:00] <fake> a match a month or so

[22:22] <mnemoc> yesterday it was 34C plus 38% of humidity :\     stinks
[22:22] <esden> no thanks that would kill me probably
[22:22] <lewellyn> 10C outside
[22:22] <madtux> lewellyn: easy to find out.. everyone else here speaks of celcius
[22:22] <lewellyn> madtux: yes, as does most of the sane world :D
[22:23] <lewellyn> esden: how cold is cold there?
[22:23] <SMP> lewellyn: probably close to 0
[22:23] <esden> ok ... I take my protel 99 book with me and go home ... to do some reading and learning ;)
[22:23] <mnemoc> thunderbirs' plugin on weather.com says F as 'Standard', and C as 'Metric'
[22:24] <lewellyn> mnemoc: that's because weather.com is a bunch of capitalist american pigs ;)

[22:25] <lewellyn> night treo
[22:25] <mnemoc> o_O
[22:26] <madtux> mnemoc: the scary thing is that i met a guy there who said that it was too cold for him, that his town up north was MUCH hotter than that
[22:26] <tcr> lewellyn, Cold enough that I dare to go out with mantel and shawl only. 
[22:26] <madtux> i wouldn't dare to go to that town.
[22:27] <tcr> Icy wind we have from time to time.
[22:28] <mnemoc> madtux: are those humans?
[22:28] <tcr> madtux, Could it be that that guy was horned and had a small goatbeard?
[22:30] <madtux> tcr: maybe his son or so
[22:30] <madtux> mnemoc: i doub so
[22:33] <tcr> I think it's all about habit; people do even get accustomed to Windows, so you see what's possible.
