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), GCC, and a number of other compilers. One we have not tested yes is the current trunk version.
This task involves attempting to compile BRL-CAD using the latest trunk version of GCC. You'll need to download our source code, CMake, and install GCC trunk (outside the scope of this task!). Compile BRL-CAD trunk using GCC trunk and keep notes of everything you do along the way. You'll report back any failures and otherwise document all the steps you take. Submit a complete build log and your notes documenting everything you did. Join IRC to discuss your progress and let us help.
We will create follow-on tasks if you make any fixes that get the build working.

I would like to work on this task.
This task has been assigned to Jacob B. 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.
Surprising that no warnings were issues, but good news. If your interested, I'm adding tasks to enable any gcc warning that is not enabled by default (and fixing any warnings that ensue). Some of the warnings that aren't enabled should be pretty easy to address.
Several of these are posted:
