Title: BRL-CAD Lua binding: Getting started
Description: Lua (lua.org) is a simple scripting language which can be easily integrated in other software.  Therefore, why not bind BRL-CAD to it and create and modify geometries with Lua scripts?  This task is about the creation of a development environment where you can program the Lua versions of BRL-CAD functions.

The procedure is very similar to the "Build BRL-CAD's core C++ interface" task: After building and installing BRL-CAD
* Download the rt^3 source tree (see https://brlcad.org/wiki/SVN),
* Set up the build environment by using the top level CMakeLists.txt file and
* Build the embeddedlua and hellobrlcad targets.
* Run the hellobrlcad program with a BRL-CAD database of your choice,
* Write your name in the terminal, and
* Make a screen shot.

When you are done, please upload the screen shot to the GCi task.
