Hi all, I tried to compile BRL-CAD on various platforms but without any big success on any of them so I would like to ask you for your kind help.
First, I found SVN compilation procedures in 4 documents, each of them describing it somehow differently: https://brlcad.org/wiki/Building_from_SVN https://brlcad.org/wiki/Compiling http://brlcad.org/~maths22/HACKING_BRL-CAD.pdf README-brlcad-development.txt at the VM source For a newbie like me, it would be nice to have that description harmonized, the better to separate it according to the platforms (Windows, Linux, VM, ...) and the best accompanied with screenshots. Maybe a GCI task :-) ? Question aside: Is this CMake flag described in the docs correct: -DBRLCAD_ENABLE_STRICT=NO ? Should not it be =ON or =OFF? Or NO = OFF? Quick summary of my attempts (error logs are attached): 1. Win 7, VirtualBox 4.3.20, BRL-CAD-Debian-7.2-32bit.ova (BRL-CAD release 7.24.1), without update to 7.26.0 - rebuilt "brlcad-build" directory - cmake with -DBRLCAD_ENABLE_STRICT=NO -DBRLCAD_BUNDLED_LIBS=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug - cmake ok, make ok (time 1:11:44), test with errors 2. Win 7, VirtualBox 4.3.20, BRL-CAD-Debian-7.2-32bit.ova, svn update to 7.26.1 - "brlcad-svn-trunk/build" directory - cmake with -DBRLCAD_ENABLE_STRICT=NO -DBRLCAD_BUNDLED_LIBS=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug - cmake with errors, make with errors 4. Win 7, CMAKE 3.7.0-win64-x64 GUI version, Visual Studio 14 2015 option - cmake with errors 5. Win 7, CMAKE 3.7.0-win64-x64 GUI version, Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64 option - cmake with errors 6. Win 7, CMAKE 3.7.0-win64-x64, Visual Studio 14 2015 option - run in cmd line: cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 14 2015" -DBRLCAD_ENABLE_STRICT=NO -DBRLCAD_BUNDLED_LIBS=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release - cmake with errors 7. Win 7, CMAKE 3.7.0-win64-x64, Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64 option - run in cmd line: cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" -DBRLCAD_ENABLE_STRICT=NO -DBRLCAD_BUNDLED_LIBS=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release - cmake with errors 8. Win 7, CMAKE 3.7.0-win64-x64 GUI version, MinGW option - cmake with errors 9. Win 7, CMAKE 3.7.0-win64-x64 GUI version, Eclipse4_MinGW option - cmake with errors I have all the error logs recorded but the brl-devel mail does not allow to send .zip files (and unzipped they have about 8.5 MB). Where can I post them? I probably missed something elementary in the cmake settings that all of them failed. My preferred IDE is Visual Studio 2015, so I would be very happy to compile BRL-CAD at least on it. The other platforms I tested just for curiosity (but I can use them as well in need). Thanks a lot for your help.
