Hi Sean,
I tried to build BRL-CAD on Windows using CMake and the Microsoft Visual
Studio C++ compiler at first. The result was "Build: 380 succeeded, 391
failed". So I switched to Linux.
These days, I am reading the document of BRL-CAD and *Topological
Structures for Geometric Modeling* by Kevin J. Weiler and I hope that it
can help me understand BRL-CAD better. Though I am much inspired by them,
there is still more to be explored. Can you give me some suggestions?
Best regards,
Weishan Yu
