Worked on the patch for the NMG migration task (create a separate library LIBNMG outside LIBRT). This time, because BRL-CAD previously built without errors, things go smoother.

1. Compile & install BRL-CAD

28/04/2012

After discussing my problem with one of the mentors and finding the cause for these errors, BRL-CAD completely built.

27/04/2012

I created my first patch for BRL-CAD by using the virtual machine disk image so now I want to compile and install BRL-CAD from source (from a svn checkout).

I've followed the instructions with respect to the dependencies (the ones from here http://brlcad.org/wiki/Compiling and from the doc/README.Linux). I've used the command

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DBRLCAD_BUNDLED_LIBS=Bundled .

but after using

make

, I kept getting these errors http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1602696.

Afterwards, I decided to try the command

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug .

but then I encountered another error while running it: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1602697. I managed to solve the problem by installing itk3 and itk3-dev. However, while running the make command I bumped into the previously mentioned make errors and this one: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1602700. The first ones refer to fontconfig symbols.
