* Configure with CMake. If no custom CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX was supplied to the bext build, BRL-CAD will know to look for the folder it needs in the user's home directory. If a custom location was used, specify the path holding the bext output directory using -DBRLCAD_EXT_DIR=<your_bext_output_dir> (bext_output should in turn contain install and noinstall folders.) If you also wish to test with Qt, you must currently enable that support in BRL-CAD as well. (Note that the BRL-CAD configure process is responsible for staging the BRLCAD_EXT_DIR contents into the build directory, so it can take some time to complete...)
