Under BRL-CAD_directory/src/librt/ directory there are files, db_open.c, db_scan.c. In db_open.c It opens a file and write into it in "w+b" mode means it writes in binary mode. I am trying to compile it so that I am able to write database into "w" means text mode but under source/src/librt/ directory it gives header files error. So I go to source/build/ directory to check if make for db_open.c is there but error occurs. So how and where I compile these file so that I can store database files in text mode?
