Daniel Rossberg (Mar 25 2024 at 08:45):Why is there a build folder? You seem to follow https://brlcad.org/wiki/Compiling. There, step 3 is cloning the repository and step 4 is the creation of the build directory.
fall Rainy (Mar 25 2024 at 08:47):You can create a new empty folder like "build1". Or you can download source code from here:https://github.com/BRL-CAD/brlcad
Omkar Nikam (Mar 25 2024 at 09:16):what do i do now

Omkar Nikam (Mar 25 2024 at 09:23):still its after creating another folder it's same
Daniel Rossberg (Mar 25 2024 at 13:56):Well, if the Git Gui complains about that the folder already exists, you could try to not creating it. Point it to a folder which does not exist.
Tejaswee Sulekh (Mar 28 2024 at 16:06):So, I had tried compiling 'art.exe'. Where I followed this link for it Compiling 'art' but ended up getting stuck because of CMake not being able to detect boost while compiling the brlcad.appleseed which contains art.exe in it (I had mentioned this in the "issues in setting up" stream).
I was looking at Brlcad's src/art and I am a bit confused as to how to get started with compiling. Can you tell where this Appleseed resource is which explains how to compile it?
Sean (Apr 19 2024 at 05:43):@Tejaswee Sulekh were you ever successful building art? Also, did you submit a pull request or other code change along with your proposal?
Tejaswee Sulekh (Apr 20 2024 at 09:22):I wasn’t able to build art and after posting the issues I was having in the chat I ended up making sure that I understood how to make geometry from command line in BRL-CAD and did run Appleseed as well
Sean (Apr 20 2024 at 19:03):Okay, so built and ran BRL-CAD but without Appleseed enabled, then proceeded to do tutorials and run Appleseed directly. That's reasonable and good forward progress. Did you submit a pull request in the meantime as well for something?
Tejaswee Sulekh (Apr 21 2024 at 07:49):I have my Semester final exams going on (which will end by 4th May). I have been involved in that so haven’t submitted a pull request in the meantime
