Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Compilation & Installation Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Stephen Ditmore (tappanbai) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Windows Vista installation help requested Initial Comment: I'm not a programmer. Do I need a programmer to install BRL-CAD on my Windows Vista laptop? I've installed CMake, but the only CMakeLists.txt file is in the CMake directory under /program files/. In the ReadMe I see I'm somewhere supposed to input: gunzip brlcad-X.Y.Z.tar.gz tar -xvf brlcad-X.Y.Z.tar mkdir brlcad-build cd brlcad-build cmake ../brlcad-X.Y.Z -DBRLCAD_BUNDLED_LIBS=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release make make benchmark make regress make install # as root, e.g. sudo make install but I have no idea what it means, where I would enter it, and whether "#....e.g...." at the end is a command or a parenthetical remark. Perhaps I'm supposed to put this text in a file named CMakeLists.txt ...? >From the desktop icons, Archer opens and RtWizard opens after a time, but all >I get when I try to open MGED is the attached. The cursor flashes but is >unresponsive to keyboard or mouse.
