hi,
anybody tried performer 2.4 on linux 7?
there seem to be so much incompatibility...?
and whenever i start perfly or any sample, there's just this "PFxxx near to
heap.." error message.
any idea anyone?
thanks for your help!
kien

Subject: ipf2pf OpenGLShader to performer shader conv
Hello,
I have OpenGL SDK 2.0 on IRIS and Performer 2.4 on Linux.
In the Performer documentation, there is a reference to a tool : ipf2pf
for using ISL Shader with pfShader.
I cant find this tools in either OGL Shader SDK or Performer.
Does anybody have information about it.
Thanks,

Marcin,
The geostate is added to the geoset. Here is the code immediately
following what was previously sent:
/* create the geoSet with proper shape */
switch(shape) {
case OBJ_SPHERE:
geoSetPtr = pfdNewSphere(OBJECT_NTRIS, arena);
break;
case OBJ_CUBE:
geoSetPtr = pfdNewCube(arena);
break;
case OBJ_CYLINDER:
geoSetPtr = pfdNewCylinder(OBJECT_NTRIS, arena);
break;
case OBJ_PIPE:
geoSetPtr = pfdNewPipe(1.0, 1.0, OBJECT_NTRIS, arena);
break;
case OBJ_CONE:
geoSetPtr = pfdNewCone(OBJECT_NTRIS, arena);
break;
case OBJ_PYRAMID:
geoSetPtr = pfdNewPyramid(arena);
break;
default:
printf("Error: uknown object type, defaulting sphere \n");
geoSetPtr = pfdNewSphere(OBJECT_NTRIS, arena);
break;
}
pfGSetGState(geoSetPtr, gStatePtr);
pfAddGSet(geodePtr, geoSetPtr);
pfAddChild(dcsPtr, geodePtr);
Do I need to call pfDrawGSet() after this? Also do you have any idea why
the apple inventor file (one of the inventor_eoe.data files) comes up as
white when you open it with perfly, but comes out red when you open it
with ivview?
Thanks for the help!

It's in /usr/share/Performer/src/tools. If can't find it, make sure
you have performer_dev installed. Specifically, it's part of
performer_dev.src.sample.

Subject: Multiprocessing on pfLinux 2.4
I just installed performer 2.4 on my Linux box (Dell 2x800Mhz PIII, nVidia =
GeForce 2 Ultra, RH 6.2, XFree86 4.0.2)
and I have a few newbie questions about multiprocessing.
There are references to using routines in ulocks.h (usnewlock, ...) for =
controlling access to shared memory,
but I don't seem to have man pages on these routines. Where can I find =
said man pages?
I've done some multi-processing coding, but not with Performer. I =
understand that pfConfig will fork() off=20
the secondary processes. Am I correct that the main process retains the =
APP phase (and whatever is not
forked)? Do I need to have code after the pfConfig for the forked =
processes to identify themselves and
do something different? I confess I have not had a chance to look at the =
included demos or the FOP demos.
Are any of these particularly illustrative of handling multiprocessing =
issues?
Thanks,
--daniel
