one of my patches, adding a function to librt/primitives/ell.c that computes the surface area of an ellipsoid, was accepted a few days ago. Although I dont yet have commit access, today is the first official day of coding, so I hope to begin producing patches related to my project and have commit access by the end of the week.

Revision as of 12:40, 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.

As well, I've been working through the Introduction to MGED and am comfortable using it to draw and analyze all primitive shapes as well as using booleans to combine primitives into more complicated shapes.
