Mario,
After getting a successful build, I suggest working through a few of the user modeling
tutorials so you understand how some of the tools and commands work. The
"Introduction to MGED" at
http://brlcad.org/wiki/Documentation is a good place to start. I suggest
browsing through most of the available documentation as well.
Cheers!
Sean

Awaiting further instructions to get started.

Hi Mario,
I'm not aware of a successful BRL-CAD build with MinGW. All attempts
I know about got stuck during the CMake configuration, as you did.
What you could do is
- Use MS Visual Studio
- Use Linux in a virtual machine (there is an image among the BRL-CAD downloads)
- Fix BRL-CAD's CMake files (not recommended if you aren't fit in writing them)
Therefore, I'm afraid the answer is negative.
Regards,
Daniel

Hello everyone.
I'm Mario Meissner, I have been elected to work for BRLCAD during the
summer, in case SOCIS happens. Apparently, they are having administrative
issues and the start of the coding period has been delayed. Anyway I decided
to at least set myself up and start on my own.
I'm trying to set up a Windows working environment, building with the MinGW
compiler tools and CMake with Eclipse as a target since it's the IDE I have
currently installed.
Steps I performed:
svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/brlcad/code/brlcad/trunk
brlcad-svn-trunk
Open cmake gui
configure... eclipse cdt4 mingw makefiles, use default native compilers
This is how it looks like: http://i.imgur.com/CMNnICz.png
a long test script runs, and errors occur at the end.
In particular, the errors that seem to break the configuration process are
the following:
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:2738 (file):
file failed to open for reading (No such file or directory):
C:/Users/Mario/Desktop/brlcad/bin/CMakeTmp/BRLCAD_BUILD_HOST
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:2739 (string):
string sub-command STRIP requires two arguments.
I can confirm that there are several files inside cmaketmp, including
BRLCAD_BUILD_COUNT and BRLCAD_BUILD_USER.
However, no BRLCAD_BUILD_HOST file.
The second error is probably related to the first one. Here is the line that
fails inside cmakelists:
file(READ "${BRLCAD_HOSTNAME_FILE}" BRLCAD_COMPILE_HOST)
string(STRIP ${BRLCAD_COMPILE_HOST} BRLCAD_COMPILE_HOST)
DISTCLEAN("${BRLCAD_HOSTNAME_FILE}")
It's surely failing because of the previous error where the file was not
found.
Here are the trace files it generated, in case you need extra information.

Thank you in advance for helping me out,
and I apologize for my incompetence.
Mario.
