Preface of Study


Pre-November 8, 2012

Summary of events
After finishing up the summer SEAP high school internship working on BRL-CAD, I wanted to continue working with BRL-CAD. After finishing up my Calculus 3 course (getting an A!!), the arrangements were made for my Independent Study. My hard drive has been on the fritz ever since this summer. I bought a new hard drive around Halloween and loaded up fedora 17 64-bit, and downloaded all necessary packages to build BRL-CAD and compile code. I completed the array write to file program, with limited problems.
Goals Accomplished
  • Finished up calc 3 course with an A
  • Downloaded the BRL-CAD package
  • Completed the array write to file C program.

November 8, 2012

Created the wiki page. Worked on reading array from file, have an issue with the program not reading the file correctly. Attempted first build of package from svn, had an issue when running "make" command, fixed it.

November 9, 2012

Finished the reading array from file, after fixing an error with memory allocation and pointers. Started looking into patch making for open source projects.

November 13, 2012

Started working on patch for moving comments from source to header files. Built BRLCAD in BRLCAD src directory accidentally, re-downloaded and rebuilt source.

November 14, 2012

Continued to move comments for the patch. A little bit of confusion on what to do, mainly do I keep the comments in the .c file or just cut them out?

November 15, 2012

The majority of the patch was done today.

November 16, 2012
