Hi, Laijiren, I will try to answer your second question.

If you have checked out the BRL-CAD source tree and follow
instructions for a cmake build, you will compile the csgprep.cpp file
in the process of a full build.  If you have problems with your set
up, you can try loading the virtual machine (VM) from the BRL-CAD site
where there is a full build in place (see
http://sourceforge.net/projects/brlcad/files/BRL-CAD%20for%20Virtual%20Machines/).

An installed BRL-CAD will have the compiled binary installed and, if
the BRL-CAD bin directory is in your PATH, you should be able to
execute it from anywhere on your host system.  (Note the VM has
BRL-CAD installed and the executable of interest is [csgprep] on your
PATH.)

In either case, after modifying the source code you should be able to
execute make again in the build directory and it should be rebuilt.
If you are at the top of the build directory you should find the
uninstalled executable at:

  ./bin/csgbrep

Please ask more specific questions if you are still having problems.

Best regards,

-Tom
