GSoC 2015 development logs

Community Bonding Period

I have began this period by going through and adhering to the BRL-CAD Summer of Code/Checklist

- Working on replacing the FreeWRL dependency on automake to cmake and generate a shared library from src/lib of the FreeWRL source code.

Coding Period

25 MAY 2015

- Resolving linking issues with shared library generated from src/lib of the FreeWRL source code.

- Resolving FreeWRL X3D parser dependence on libxml(may need to set compilation as optional in order not to break the BRLCAD build process)

26 MAY 2015

- Trying to finalize work on shared library generation from src/lib of the FreeWRL source code.

- Still working on resolving issues with shared library

27 MAY 2015

- Studying the FreeWRL thread implementation

28 MAY 2015

Time put in 3 hours

29 MAY 2015

- Made progress with debugging and just realised that issues (SIGSEGV) are as a result of improper casting and thus poor memory allocation.
