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 in a while a compile of BRL-CAD on Cygwin.
This task involves attempting to compile BRL-CAD on Windows on Cygwin. You'll need to download our source code, CMake, and Cygwin. 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 everything you did.
We will create follow-on tasks if you make changes that get the build working.

Hello, sorry but may i know what is the IRC channel name for this? I might have inquiries and need some assistance from the mentors. Sorry, thanks.
http://brlcad.org/wiki/IRC should have all of the details you seek.
You can use #brlcad channel for discussion. Check this link for more detail. http://brlcad.org/wiki/IRC

The work on this task is ready to be reviewed.
I.e. install the cmake Cygwin package (using Cygwin's setup.exe), open a Cygwin shell and call CMake there.
You'll probably have to install additional Cygwin packages too. See http://brlcad.org/wiki/Compiling to get an idea which.
One of the mentors has sent this task back for more work. Talk to the mentor(s) assigned to this task to satisfy the requirements needed to complete this task, submit your work again and mark the task as complete once you re-submit your work.
Hello,
I called CMake in Cygwin shell and there were some errors that caused BRL-CAD build abort.
I uploaded a file with the build log.

Moretti, that's excellent progress -- I think the most anyone has gotten with cygwin this year thus far. Since you've apparently run into a build system issue, we just need a couple more logs from you. Please look into your build dir for a CMakeFiles subdirectory and upload the CMakeOutput.log and CMakeError.log files. Thanks!
Hello,
I am uploading just CMakeOutput.log because it is the only log that I have in the build directory. I do not know the reason why there is no CMakeError log. I downloaded again BRL-CAD source code just to be sure that I am not missing any file or any file was harmed.
The work on this task is ready to be reviewed.
Hmm, there is an error in the build or run of time.c. Can you find a hint in your build directory (probable in the CMakeTmp subdirectory there) what's wrong?

Hello,
It seems that time.c and timedelta.c are empty. Those files are the only ones in the CMakeTmp folder. In this folder there is also a folder CMakeFiles which has a subdirectory CMakeTmp which is also empty.
The name of the second file is not timedelta.c. It is timedelta_start.c. Sorry for the confusion.
What is the content of the CMakeFiles subdirectory in the build directory?
If you think that there is no more to do you can set this task to be ready for review (done).
Hello,
I am adding an archive with the content of CMakeFiles folder in the build directory
The work on this task is ready to be reviewed.
Congratulations, this task has been completed successfully.
Thank you for uploading the content of the directory. Maybe somebody can see what goes wrong there.
