BRL-CAD builds pervasively on a number of different operating systems, hardware, and compilers. We actively seek out new compilation environments and like to get them working as best as we can. We regularly build with Microsoft Visual Studio (the professional one you have to pay for). One we have not tried is a compile of BRL-CAD using Microsoft's free compiler, Visual Studio Express.
This task involves attempting to compile BRL-CAD on Windows using Visual Studio Express. You'll need to download our source code, CMake, and Visual Studio Express. Try to get BRL-CAD to compile and keep notes of what you attempt along the way. You'll report back any failures and otherwise document all the steps you take along the way. Submit a complete build log (whether it succeeds or fails) and your notes documenting what you did.
We will create follow-on tasks for any fixes you make that get the build working.

I would like to work on this task.
This task has been assigned to Станислав Берегов. You have 72 hours to complete this task, good luck!
The work on this task is ready to be reviewed.
Congratulations, this task has been completed successfully.
You submitted your notes, the build log, and were successful in getting the build to complete. Very nice work.
A follow-on task has been created so that you or someone else can perhaps make proper corrections to the build system. You're welcome to submit the changes you've already made for review and/or keep working on a better solution (e.g., instead of coyping the headers, figuring out what went wrong in our cmake logic).
