All,
I have finally figured out what the essential character of the
job of generating images for the parts tracker boils down to...
Here's how I see it.
1. Official parts live in one actual, real file tree
2. Unofficial parts live in another actual, real file tree
3. ldglite doesn't know anything about search paths except
for the LDRAWDIR root and the standard paths off it
4. To assemble images "on demand" we need to call ldglite
with the file it needs to render. The LDRAWDIR needs to
point at a filetree with all of the parts in it.
5. We need to build up at least three complete filetrees with symlinks.
- The first is for purely official files
- The second is for unofficial parts that use unofficial then official subfiles
- The third is for official parts that use unoffical then official subfiles
Here's what I have done so far:
1. A perl script that generates make-compatible dependencies for every
DAT file in a filetree. Run time is about 5 seconds on a Pentium 266MMX.
2. A make script that calls ldglite with command line parameters that
ensure that then correct image is built
Tomorrow I'm finishing off make so that it builds the three symlink
filetrees. Thinks should be ready to go Monday or Tuesday at the
latest.
Cool!
Cheers, Ralph
