That's... weird. You are using Debian Breeze, correct? And which Qt version are you using?

Actually, I did the tests with Trixie.

Hii @Sean
I’ve cloned the BRL-CAD repo and attempted a native Windows build using CMake + Visual Studio 2022.

Configuration succeeds, but the bext dependency build fails mid-way (MSB8066), which I understand is a known Windows limitation.

I’m primarily interested in JS/web-based contributions, so I’m planning to focus on areas like the Online Geometry Viewer and related tooling that don’t require a full native build.

Could you point me to JS-friendly components or small starter issues where I can begin contributing?

@Deep Raj it's not a "limitation" as in it's not supposed to fail, but yes known issue from a relatively recent change to one of the 3rd party dependencies (bext). Can you confirm what specifically the build failure was?

OGV is a separate stack but I do believe does presume there's an install of BRL-CAD available on the server-side for running commands.

@Sean i was using visuals studio 2022 version, Instead of 2026. That might be a cause of this error
I will run again using version'26 and will let you know the exact issue
