GLVisualize fails on precompilation

[musm]

I can't get this to work. I copy and pasted the install script. (Windows 10)

Are you sure Pkg.checkout("Images", "sd/fileio") was successfull?

[musm]

So I redid the installation procedure. Now this is the error I'm getting with testing the package

julia> Pkg.test("GLVisualize")

[SimonDanisch]

My bad! Forgot to push some commits.
Can you checkout GLVisualize and GeometryTypes?!

[musm]

Hmm I did a checkout on both packages but it said nothing to update or change?
same error.

[SimonDanisch]

Maybe a problem with Pkg? Have you tried to manually pull the newest master?

[musm]

So I deleted everything in .julia and reinstalled according to the install instructions, getting the same error...

[SimonDanisch]

I just made sure: on Github master, the changes have arrived...
So has this script:

Pkg.clone("https://github.com/JuliaIO/FileIO.jl.git")
Pkg.clone("https://github.com/JuliaIO/MeshIO.jl.git")
Pkg.clone("https://github.com/JuliaGeometry/Packing.jl.git")
Pkg.clone("https://github.com/JuliaIO/ImageMagick.jl.git")
Pkg.build("ImageMagick")
Pkg.clone("https://github.com/JuliaGL/GLVisualize.jl.git")
Pkg.checkout("Images", "sd/fileio")
Pkg.checkout("GeometryTypes")
Pkg.checkout("FixedSizeArrays")
Pkg.checkout("Meshes", "ntuples")
Pkg.checkout("ModernGL")
Pkg.checkout("GLWindow")
Pkg.checkout("GLAbstraction")

really run without errors?
What does Pkg.status() say?
It should say something like:

 - GeometryTypes                 0.0.2+             master
 - GLVisualize                   0.0.0-             master (unregistered)

[musm]

Great, not sure what you did, but now all tests pass, sans some depreciated warnings!

[musm]

Looking forward to documentation 😉

[SimonDanisch]

ahaha, yeah... non existent ;) Until I wrote them, don't hesitate to ask any question please!

Hello, I have much of the same problem as mmoh. Actually, I have been trying to make GLPlot work for a while now. As of yet, I am so new to the whole github / open source concept that I fear I may create a mess by interfering. Still, I hope I can contribute in a small way. My problems are probably caused by various dependencies, but perhaps this is a good place to report, and to find a working set of packages?

I have a 32-bit notepad with Windows 10, and a 64 bit Mac with graphics card GeForce GTX 775M. The mac has an OS X Yosemite parition and a Windows 8.1 partition (which I plan to upgrade soon). None of them are working with the versions of Julia I tried so far. I started out using Juno, but for making this work I believe the console is more efficient.

How can I report efficiently? What would you be most interested in? Should I ignore warnings regarding deprecated syntax in required packages? I also don´t know when to use github and when to use the Julia package manager. Would the Julia package manager be confused if I fork / branch and so forth from Github?

[SimonDanisch]

@hustf just open an issue at GLVisualize ;) Most interesting is the error message, OS and OpenGL version. You only need to get the OpenGL version when I ask, since it's usually not the problem ;)
Warnings are mostly fine, although I try to keep everything free from warnings (there are some I can't easily get rid of while building, though).

The package manager should be mostly fine with forks and branches... I'm on windows where the package manager is really slow, so I only add packages with it and do the rest via git/github desktop.

Best,
Simon

[hustf]

Thanks for that; I have run some tests already, and will open a separate issue in a few minutes. The OpenGL Version will be 4.1, and OpenCL 1.2 on the Mac/Windows computer
