Maybe a GCI task :-) ? Great idea! That does happen from time to time (and part why there are different versions), but eventually someone makes an update and the rest fall out of sync. We’re halfway towards a managed system where everything should stay in sync better, with files in our repo “compiled" onto the website and back, but we’re not quite there yet. The authoritative instructions are actually another set you didn’t even mention, the README+INSTALL files in the sources themselves. Of course, you have to have the sources to follow installation, but that is the standard for software. > 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? Either works, NO == OFF, but OFF is the usual syntax for cmake. > 1.

I believe the test log says that somewhere, and one of the tests is named something like “test_failures_are_expected”. Regardless, that’s ancient stuff so this is one to ignore. > 2.

Try deleting and recreating the build directory (brlcad-svn-trunk/build), then rerun cmake. Log would be good. > 4.

That said, if you’re not getting past cmake, it’s probably something recent or local. Guessing without a log. > 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 MinGW is not going to succeed, but we’ll definitely have GCI tasks to fix the issues there. That said, cmake has nothing to do with MinGW and it should have completed successfully. > 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? .zip isn’t one of the extensions being filtered — would you send me your rejection e-mail? Try a .tar.bz2 instead? You can use a pastebin too. We don’t need to see 6 copies of the same cmake error… ;) > I probably missed something elementary in the cmake settings that all of them > failed. Your settings look correct. Have to read the error message. Cheers!
