Re: [brlcad-devel] Raytracing throws error.

[Mario M. <mr....@gm...>]

Hi Daniel.
Following the compilation instructions, the built filesystem on linux
doesn't yield any Release folder, just a bin folder. That folder contains
dozens of executables, including mged and archer. However if you look at
the screenshots I attached, you can see that on windows I do get a release
folder, however no executables can be found inside the bin of that folder.
Where are they?

About the color shemes, as I said they only seem to change colors inside
the main window but not the console. However this is not important and
probably conflicting with my window manager settings.

I installed Uvesafb and configured it as stated in the wiki entry to linked
me, but the same error is still happening. I also added myself to the video
user group to have access to /dev/fb0 but that doesn't seem to be the issue
either.

Mario.
