path to the "brlcad" folder that has README), 2) the build dir, and 3) variables.
Windows: you can use CMake GUI where you'll specify 1) your source dir (i.e. For your first time, we also recommend setting these CMake variables to avoid trivial issues: Next, you'll run CMake to configure and generate a build system.ĬMake needs to know the top-level source dir (i.e., "brlcad" dir you cloned) and "build" dir you made are located. Some BRL-CAD tools use temporary network ports that will need to be allowed as well, if prompted. #BRL CAD COMMANDS SOFTWARE#
It's first recommended during configure and compilation that you temporarily suspend any anti-virus software as they're notorious for issuing false-positives alerts and blocking necessary operations.
Windows: create a folder named "build" inside your "brlcad" folder. You can create a build folder anywhere, but it's typically named "build" and is in or near your "brlcad" source directory. If you run into trouble cloning from git, snapshot source releases are available. #BRL CAD COMMANDS FULL#
The "brlcad" folder created after cloning is a full source checkout of BRL-CAD and contains a README with additional info.
Mac: You can either run the Git GUI, or you can run this in Terminal: git clone. If you're building under WSL, clone from the git-bash command line. Windows: If you're going to build with Visual Studio, run Git GUI specifying this repository to clone. We recommend obtaining BRL-CAD by forking or cloning our repository on GitHub. #BRL CAD COMMANDS INSTALL#
Fedora: yum install freetype-devel fontconfig-devel yum install libX11-devel libXext-devel libXi-devel mesa-libGL-devel. Debian/Ubuntu: apt install libc6-dev libfreetype-dev libfontconfig-dev apt install xserver-xorg-dev libx11-dev libxi-dev libglu1-mesa-dev. Linux: BRL-CAD needs the Xorg development packages. BSD: we assume you know what you're doing and can follow the gist. CentOS: yum install python3-pip devtoolset-9 pip3 install cmake scl enable devtoolset-9 bash. If you're on an older distribution, you may need to manually install a more recent version of cmake. Debian/Ubuntu: apt install build-essential make cmake. Alas, the tools and names change frequently, so the following are platform-specific recommendations that may need to be adjusted for your system. Installing is easiest with a package management system like apt, brew, yum, and dnf that install for you. Linux and Windows Subsystem for Linux ( WSL):.
Mac: Install CMake and XCode or run this in Terminal: xcode-select -install. VS Code should also work, but you will need to install the " Build Tools for Visual Studio" also. Windows: Install Git, CMake, and Visual Studio Community or Professional. If using Intel, version 2015 (15.0+) or later. If using GCC/G++, version 4.8.1 or later. If using Visual Studio, version 2015 (14.0+) or later. You will also want Git to obtain the latest source code. To build, you want the latest CMake, a recent compiler, and at least 3GB of disk space. See INSTALL for more detailed instruction. Gedp->ged_gvp->gv_isize = 1.This page has simplified steps for building quickly. Gedp->ged_gvp->gv_size = 2.0 * gedp->ged_gvp->gv_scale If (gedp->ged_gvp->gv_scale ged_gvp->gv_scale = RT_MINVIEWSCALE The following code illustrates how individual commands are defined within the library. The Geometry Editing Library (libged) defines commands for working with BRL-CAD models.
