[Slackbuilds-users] brlcad, broken update submitted

[Arnaud]

Hi everybody,

oops, I did it again...
Well, I've submitted an update to brlcad, but it doesn't work.
I throughly tested it, but for some reason, I retested the build and execution
of the old version - which we already knew was working - instead of the new one,
and the new one does not build.

So, please, is it possible to - well... - remove it from next update ?
I hope to make it work before tomorrow, but until then there'd better not be an
update of brlcad tomorrow ^^

Pretty sorry...
I do hope the game I added - which you'll be able to play with tomorrow's
update, yay ! - will please you, and make up with sympathy what I'm today lacking
in efficiency ^^

Errrr, I simply added gdal (and therefore proj) to REQUIRES and now it
builds fine for me... ;-)

Thanks for another good update ;-)

*But* if you still think I should remove it, I can do that, no problem!

Cheers

Thank you !

Yeah, that'll work.
So keep it that way, there'll be another update later with compilation options
and things like that.

Because, I don't really understand why that helps...
I'm currently fiddling with build options and my tests are showing that it
doesn't seem to find installed gdal when it's there.
And there are a few undocumented configuration options, even a QT5 version that
doesn't build (but fails at 50%, just to be sure you loose as much time as
possible :)).

So, go for it, and I'll investigate further on my side !
