[Soc-2009-dev] Status Report - 4 June

[Joshua Leung]

Here is my (belated) status report.

Last week was not as productive as I'd have liked. Course work took a
lot more time+energy than anticipated, so last week's targets still
stand.

However, starting from this week, I should have much more time to
dedicate to this. Current target for preliminary design is Wednesday
+/- a day. I'll also be doing some tests with Bullet's demos as a base
to do small-scale tests of how the pipeline can be setup.

One problem that I've encountered this week is that since the middle
of the week, I no longer have any workable debug build environments,
since I've been getting final link errors with scons+mingw. Probably
will need to finally upgrade this compiler or try another msvc-based
build setup specifically for debug.
