 My personal wish list is that opencascade builds on FreeBSD-7 with the 
 new stlport, and that octave-forge not be in its current IGNORE state. 
  But I fully appreciate that I must either wait, or help make it happen.

A patch is ready for that, and is available at

http://people.freebsd.org/~thierry/ports/opencascade.diff

but I cannot commit it right now: it will fail without the patch
included in PR ports/118958. That means that we have to wait untill the
ports tree is totally unfrozen.

Re: Missing libgfortran: what package is it in?

2007-09-27 Thread Thierry Thomas

Selon vittorio [EMAIL PROTECTED] le Jeu 27 sep 18:31:44 2007 :


I'm trying to update some packages of R. In compiling them freebsd 6.2 fails
systematically because a libgfortran library is missing (and, as a matter of
fact, it is!).

What package should I install to have these lib available?


It should be provided by lang/gcc42.

Actually, if gcc42 is only registered as a build_depends, this is a bug.

Re: FreeMat 3.0 doesn't call functions and help

  I have just upgraded FreeMAT to 3.1, which fixes the inv() problem, and

 Yes, with the new version 3.1 inv now works fine. Unfortunately the Help on 
 line still doesn't work. I think that something worsened because with this 
 new port now I cannot use the help on line even as root (in the previous 
 version Help online as root worked quite well).

Could you please script (1) a session with only `truss FreeMat', just
calling the help and exiting? Then please send me the compresed log of
this session.

If you had created some symlinks, please don't forget to remove them.

 Besides if I ask for the help on line (OR helpwin) the following error

I had forgotten about that, but I think that the first time I had
launched

FreeMat -i /usr/local/share/FreeMat-3.0

and then it uses QSettings to store this path persistently.

Could you please try it, and if it solves this problem, I'll add a post-

 I've just installed FreeMat 3.0 from the ports in my i386 6.2 box but, while 
 it is able to accomplish simple calculations it is not able to use the 
 functions e.g to invert a matrix
 
 a=[1,2;-4,3]
 inv(a)
 
 instead of inverting the matrix hangs endlessly.

You're right: I have no problem to run the examples and the classical
functions are OK, simple operations on matrix are OK, but inv() hangs.

I'll report this to the author.

 Besides if I ask for the help on line (OR helpwin) the following error 
 messages pops up  
 
 The file modules.txt is missing from the directory  where I think help files 
 should be.

It's working on my machine, but the same problem has been reported in PR
ports/109469 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=109469.

Could you please send me output of truss when you just launch FreeMat
and call helpwin?

Could you please also try again from the package (`pkg_add -r' should be
OK).

 I think I didn't configure something but I don't know what (the main.pdf 
 manual isn't that helpful as far as the installation is concerned).
 
 Could someone out there help me to start FreeMat?

I'd like to fix it!

 That is not true.  All that is required is that it closely resembles the

 likely
 consumers would confuse the images then it's a violation.

Nick Holley was right: I have upgraded libSDL to 1.2.6 (see

patch to the joystick code, I can use my USB joystick in SDL programs
(e.g. tuxracer).

Next step: put a similar code in the other toolkits (plib, etc.)...

How-to use a USB joypad?

2003-09-26 Thread Thierry Thomas
Hello,

I have got a USB joypad, and it is sensed by the system (either 4.9 or
5.1):

uhid0: Microsoft Microsoft SideWinder Plug  Play Game Pad, rev
1.00/1.01, addr 2, iclass 3/0

I have got a new device /dev/uhid0 and kldloaded joy.ko.

When I run

perl -e 'open(JOY,/dev/uhid0)||die;while(1)
{sysread(JOY,$x,16);@j=unpack(,$x);print @j\n;sleep(1);}'

(adapted from `man 4 joy'), it returns a list of numbers for each action
on the pad, but nothing usable.

I've tried to link /dev/joy0 - /dev/uhid0, but without success with
several games.

What am I missing?

Re: Configuration files after portupgrade horde and imp

 Hi lists,

Hello,

 I just upgraded horde and php on our server via portupgrade.
 After the upgrade nothing was working anymore, it was impossible to login 
 to horde anymore.
 I noticed that my horde/imp configuration files had been replced by the 
 default files. My old files had been saved as filename.bak.
 
 Is this expected behaviour? Wouldn't it be better to leave the config files 
 intact and install the new ones as filename.dist.new or something similar?
 This way the application would still be working after the upgrade and i 
 would have time to inspect the new default config files for changes without 
 being disturbed by users complaining that they can't use their webmail 
 interface anymore?

This is a known problem, and unfortunately, I have not yet found a
satisfying solution. Usually, the configuration files of a release n
don't work anymore with release n+1.

Previous configuration files are backuped as .previous, and I personally
use gvimdiff to copy changes to the new files. Actually, we would need a
kind of mergemaster...

Any better ideas or patches are welcome!
