Compile BRL-CAD with LLVM trunkBRL-CAD
Status: ClosedTime to complete: 96 hrs Mentors: Mihai Neacsu, Hardeep Singh RaiTags: llvm, windows, macosx, compile, unix, linux, bsd

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.

This task involves attempting to compile BRL-CAD using the latest and greatest version of LLVM's Clang compiler directly from their source repository. You'll need to download our source code, CMake, checkout the LLVM source code, and compile your compiler. Then 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.

Please include any fixes you make to get the build working. You MUST first compile BRL-CAD successfully with any other compiler before claiming this task.

Congratulations, this task has been completed successfully.

Marc Tannouson January 5 2015 19:29 UTCHow was it?

 Was my compiling process okay? Not sure if that is how I was supposed to do it, by overriding the c++ basic compiler. Should I have gone more/less in-depth?


Regards,


Marc
