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 don't heavily test is Visual Studio Express (only available for Windows)
This task involves attempting to compile BRL-CAD using the MSVC Express 2013 compiler. You'll need to download our source code, CMake, and MSVC. Compile BRL-CAD 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 monimont. You have 100 hours to complete this task, good luck!
The work on this task is ready to be reviewed.
You might want to upload CMakeError.log and CMakeOutput.log. Chances are any mentor passing by will want to take a look at these files to troubleshoot.
They can be found in wherever the built files were generated (i.e. “Where to build the binaries:” in CMake), inside folder CMakeFiles.
Please upload complete build logs. Also mention in your notes the error(s) you got.
Good luck!
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.
