| schestowitz | I have not tried yet, but I just scanned gip server ('find | grep geodesic_rele') to see if someone has compiled it already so that I can just copy the binary. The FMM binary that I still use came from a homedir after the SVN version was altered to the point of being incompatible with Linux (some CUDA-related changes). Currently, what's planned is a sort of comparison between geodesics-based similarity measures. I've build | Nov 08 11:07 |
| schestowitz | one that classifies surfaces roughly as effectively as GMDS but without the same complexity. However, measurements there can be improved and there is room for comparative analyses. | Nov 08 11:07 |
| schestowitz | Thanks a lot for the help. | Nov 08 11:07 |

| schestowitz | Mint's already overtaken on Distrowatch. I can cope with the learning curve for Unity (all day every day is a learning curve) but it's the loss of functionality and customisability that does my head in. I've always loved Ubuntu but I just hate the 11.10 desktop you can't customise even by editing desktop config files and, anyway, Oneiric doesn't run on my Lenovo lapop or on my NVidia MB media server (networking utterly borked) | Nov 08 15:45 |
| schestowitz | and soooooo sloooooooow. So I've just installed Bodhi. So far, I'm loving it - fast, customisable and pretty too :) I'm also liking to have the latest apps running on 10.04 LTS rather than having to wait for a new release of the entire distro. And, OK, the functionality will come back (one hopes!) but, in the meantime, I can't launch any apps which require a panel widget (encfs gui, Truecrypt etc etc) and the whole thing is | Nov 08 15:45 |
| schestowitz | unuseable except as a toaster. | Nov 08 15:45 |
| schestowitz | Ironically, Unity is like going back 6 or 7 years on Linux - I'm using the terminal 10x as much as usual cos the desktop just doesn't work. | Nov 08 15:45 |

| sebsebseb | well hope so anyway :) | Nov 08 15:46 |
| sebsebseb | schestowitz: I mean quite a lot of people went back to Ubuntu 10.10 and such for Gnome 2 | Nov 08 15:46 |
| sebsebseb | and probably quite a lot of them will go to Mint 12 for Gnome2/Mae | Nov 08 15:47 |

| schestowitz | I exchanged some messages with a colleague. It seems as though this implementation is very stubborn on using DLLs, so compiling for 64-bit Ubuntu servers requires some work, including the change of MATLAB code such as "loadlibrary([geodesic_library '.dll'], hfile);" and the addition of libraries to compilation, including Boost which is 86MB (compressed). | Nov 08 19:51 |
| schestowitz | Some of the C++ code has been changed a bit and since non-Windows platforms are listed as not supported, there is no guarantee that this is going to work. For exact geodesics, many searches around the Web brought nothing up, not even links from within peer-reviewed papers. | Nov 08 19:51 |
| qu1j0t3 | wow, DLL+C++&Boost&Windows | Nov 08 20:03 |
| qu1j0t3 | sounds like hell | Nov 08 20:03 |
| schestowitz | it is | Nov 08 20:45 |
| schestowitz | I'm wasting my time with it so far | Nov 08 20:45 |
| schestowitz | a lot of code changing | Nov 08 20:45 |
| qu1j0t3 | i bet | Nov 08 20:45 |
| schestowitz | I asked a colleague who moved to Google | Nov 08 20:45 |
| qu1j0t3 | sounds like the least productive environment possible | Nov 08 20:45 |
| schestowitz | and even he can't help | Nov 08 20:45 |
| schestowitz | and he's a c++ guru | Nov 08 20:45 |
| schestowitz | I think I'll look for another route | Nov 08 20:46 |
| schestowitz | it's actually worse than you put it | Nov 08 20:46 |
| schestowitz | cause all the above goes into mex | Nov 08 20:46 |
| schestowitz | which is matlab's proprietary wrapper | Nov 08 20:46 |
| schestowitz | so not even g++/gcc | Nov 08 20:46 |
| schestowitz | and then you need to build special binaries | Nov 08 20:46 |
| schestowitz | because the ELF bits are otherwise incompatible | Nov 08 20:47 |
| schestowitz | at least I get paid for playing in this mud | Nov 08 20:47 |
