Hi Sean,
Oh, right, thanks. Yeah, I clicked on Linux. Should have chosen Source.
Thanks again.
cheers,
Ben

Ben,
It looks like you downloaded a binary distribution but are following
directions for a source distribution. The latter you run cmake and
compile, the prior you do not.
Assuming you downloaded a .deb installation, you’ll want to probably use
dpkg or apt to install:

Cheers!

Hi,
I installed all anticipated dependencies per docs.
Am getting an error when trying to install brl-cad:
:/home/xdcpmer/brlcad-build# cmake ../BRL-CAD_7.26.0_Linux_x86_64
-DBRLCAD_BUNDLED_LIBS=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
CMake Error: The source directory
"/home/xdcpmer/BRL-CAD_7.26.0_Linux_x86_64" does not appear to contain
CMakeLists.txt.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.
:/home/xdcpmer/brlcad-build# find /home/xdcpmer -name
'*[mM]ake[lL]ists.txt'
:/home/xdcpmer/brlcad-build#
This is my first attempt at installing this, so have been following
the docs in this order:
share/README
share/doc/README.Linux
share/INSTALL
Any suggestions on how to proceed? Is this a bug? It looks like some
related info was recently changed in the release.
kind regards,
Ben
