Research status of compiling BRL-CAD on MINGW

completed by: Alexandur Osenov

mentors: Sean

BRL-CAD compiles on a number of platforms but is rarely compiled under mingw. A cygwin compilation was last successfuly performed a few years ago with relatively minor effort, but mingw hasn't been tested.

This task involves attempting to compile BRL-CAD under mingw (AFTER successfully compiling with MSVC). Follow the CMake documentation and edit our build system accordingly. Report on what fails and write up a tutorial on the BRL-CAD wiki.
