== Skeleton Framework for Development Experimentation - Greg and Conrad ==

=== Goals ===

- Completed deployment setup
 - "make install" should build entire framework on Windows, Linux and Mac
- Framework works properly on 10.8
 - display and manipulate bild and STL files

=== Progress ===

'''March 18'''

- Build from source (openssl, libz, Python, numpy, Qt4, PySide, Shiboken) works on Linux
- Mac build fails for PySide, but everything else seem to work
- Windows not started yet

Alternative approach

- Try one more day to fix Mac
- If not successful, switch to prebuilt binary distributions

'''March 25'''

- "make install" will work "in 15 minutes" for Linux and Mac
 - building from source
 - QT takes a long time
 - configuration in place to use previously compiled prerequisites during "make install" to save time
 - documentation in the source tree
- Windows compilation yet to start
- TomG brought up that QT4 apparently is not as well supported as we hoped
 - OpenGL graphics window tears (not sync'ed to refresh rate) was first reported in 2006 and still not resolved
 - Initializing OpenGL still needs to be delayed into drawing routine rather than done in setup routine
 - Scooter suggests we contact Utah group to see how they handle these QT/OpenGL issues and how they plan to proceed in the future
