GSoC 2025 Daily Logs

• Community Bonding Period:
  • 05/08 Thu: Discovered that my project got accepted! 😊🎉
  • 05/09 Fri: Dealt with all the GSoC-related bureaucratic stuff
  • 05/10 Sat: Created this repo to share with my mentors what I am working / have worked on
  • 05/12 Mon: Reverted the hacks done to create a personalized title bar and restored the “standard Qt” look (this code was only tested on Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS and no PR was made)
  • 05/13 Tue: Started working on prototyping a basic CLI in order to try to identify possible issues that could arise (so that I can discuss them with the mentors before the Coding Period starts)
  • 05/14 Wed: Participated in the “Welcome 2025 Contributor talk and Q&A” by the GSoC team
  • 05/15 Thu: Kept working on the CLI prototype
  • 05/19 Mon: Tried all day to build and compile brlcad, MOOSE and arbalest on Windows 11, but without any luck (for some reason arbalest cannot execute proberly because it doesn’t find Qt6OpenGLWidgets). Although, I think that I did spot a bug that can be easily solved: when compiling arbalest, I got the error rpcndr.h: 'byte': ambiguous symbol (this is a known issue with Windows headers). To fix it, I simply removed the using namespace std; in Utils.h, and I then changed all the few instances where this statement was meaningful by manually adding std::. I will most likely do a PR regarding this later down the road
  • 05/20 Tue: A storm caused a problem with my Internet Service Provider in my local area, so I basically didn’t have Internet all day… I kept trying to build arbalest though, but with no success unfortunately
