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 in a long time is Bloodshed Software's Dev-C++ IDE (available for Windows, based on Mingw)
This task involves attempting to compile BRL-CAD using the Dev-C++ IDE. You'll need to have access to Windows and download our source code, CMake, and Dev-C++. Compile BRL-CAD using Dev-C++ 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.
We can create follow-on tasks if you make any fixes that get it working.

Hello,
I am currently trying to configure the build using the gui version of cmake, however when I specify the generator for the project there is no option for Dev-C++. Should I use try to use the MinGW Makerfiles and carry on from there?
Thanks

Hello!
From what I see in the error log, the compilation failed. Could you please join our irc channel (#brlcad on irc.freenode.net) so that any of the mentors can assist you with sorting out the issues?

the build seems to fail to find regex.h and pthread.h in cygwin folder although it exist. Also, mingw receives Clang arguments for some reason.
CMake returns an error in src/other/xmltools but this directory was moved meanwhile. Please check out the latest sources from our Subversion directory and retry the CMake configuration with same settings (i.e. MinGW).
