polylineBlobsExample not compiling with glm 0.9.9.5

bugs, errors
#1

after updating glm to 0.9.9.5, ofPolyline does not compile anymore when used, because there is no matching function for call to ‘lerp(const vec3&, const vec3&, float&)’

/home/xxx/openFrameworks/libs/openFrameworks/graphics/ofPolyline.inl:533:9:   required from ‘ofPolyline_<T> ofPolyline_<T>::getResampledByCount(int) const [with T = glm::vec<3, float, (glm::qualifier)0>]’

  return glm::lerp(toGlm(leftPoint), toGlm(rightPoint), t);

I’m on Debian 10 (Buster), compiling with clang-8

PS: as the cause is the same of this other thread, should we make a single thread for testing and fixing glm 0.9.9.5 ?

or maybe it’s better to discuss this on a github issue ( i found more than one ) ?

yeah better to discuss this on a github issue, if you want to even start a pull request that would be really useful as well. I opened a PR in the apothecary repo a while ago to update glm to 0.9.9.5: https://travis-ci.org/openframeworks/apothecary/builds/552908870?utm_source=github_status&utm_medium=notification but haven’t merged it yet cause it was failing for other reasons

ok, i wrote down everything that doesn’t work in the apothecary PR, i gave a look at the ofPolyline code but i haven’t any big experience with glm, so i have no clue on how to fix all this templated stuff, sorry

#4

no problem if you start a PR feel free to ask any doubts you might have

#5

glm 0.9.9.5 needs to have GLM_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL defined to enable glm::lerp.
You can replace glm::lerp by glm::mix in polyline.inl (with the same arguments) and it should work.

#6

@oxillo, yes there’s already a PR here: https://github.com/openframeworks/openFrameworks/pull/6366 if you know of any other problems can you post them there? thanks!

#7

I’ve seen some problems with glm::mat constructors. I’ll try to contribute to the PR.
