Revision as of 11:40, 21 May 2012
This page will contain a log of my progress throughout my project.
30/04/2012:
after having some difficulty compiling BRLCAD from the SVN source due to issues with missing libs, I completed my first successful build. The issue was with the unorthodox naming scheme my distro uses for the lib32 and lib64 directories, and so CMake was unable to find them.
I am now looking for some bugfixes to tackle so I can gain commit access.
09/05/2012:
while looking through the BUGS file, I found that the bug regarding drawing with an attached X session crashing MGED in command line mode unreproducible. Perhaps it was indirectly fixed in a previous patch.
