Hello,

I just rebuilt FriCAS in WSL 2 and if apparently all is right when I
try graphic examples the console returns me for example:

HyperDoc) Unknown patch name ParametricCurveGraphicsExamplePagePatch2
(HyperDoc) Unknown patch name ParametricCurveGraphicsExamplePagePatch1
(HyperDoc) Unknown patch name ParametricCurveGraphicsExamplePagePatch3
(HyperDoc) Unknown patch name ThreeDimensionalGraphicsExamplePagePatch2
(HyperDoc) Unknown patch name ThreeDimensionalGraphicsExamplePagePatch3

Am I alone with this?

I omit, FriCAS just cloned from GitHUB.

See instruction from the INSTALL (included below). The above
is one of manifestations of problem described in INSTALL.


NOTE!! If you use svn (minimal version) the above will install broken
HyperDoc pages -- all graphic examples will be missing (and trying to access
them will crash hypertex).

The get working graphic examples login into X and replace 'make' above by
the following:

make MAYBE_VIEWPORT=viewports

alternatively, after 'make' finishes use:

make viewports

Important: building graphic examples accesses the X server, so it will
not work on text console. During build drawings will temporarily
appear on the screen. Redirecting X via ssh should work fine,
but may be slow.

It is also possible to use xvfb-run program, replacing 'make viewports'
above by:

xvfb-run --server-args="-screen 0 1024x768x24" --auto-servernum -n 0 make viewports

Hi,

Thanks Waldek for your detailed explanation.
I also read now the INSTALL file and in fact I was not aware of the
build process change and the fact that the graphic examples were
"pregenerated". I do not need those, I was just using these examples
to test graphics when I build
a new version of FriCAS. So now I test myself graphics.

BTW thanks again.
