New contributor wants to contribute to the community.

[Rohit malik]

Sir,

I am a newbie and want to contribute to the community.I know python and c++.Can you help  me with any kind of guidance from where to start.

Hello, welcome!

If you're planning to contribute on appleseed core, you'll first need to build it. Please follow the build instructions here: https://github.com/appleseedhq/appleseed/wiki/Building-appleseed

If you'd like to contribute to our Blender plugin (blenderseed) which is 100% Python, you just need to download the latest appleseed release (and Blender) and then you can start hacking right away! The blenderseed repository is here: https://github.com/appleseedhq/blenderseed

In any case I'd recommend that you join us on Slack. I'm sending you an invite.

I tried to build appleseed but recieved the following

Hi!

I just joined the mailing list and was thinking about writing an email just like Rohit did (maybe we both came from Hacker News?), so better to reuse this thread. I am really interested in physically based rendering, I'm fluent in C++, and I would like to contribute to the project and learn more about it, could you please sent me the Slack invitation as well?

Btw, I started building appleseed from source and encountered this error: https://pastebin.com/KYciLt7G. Then I set the option -D WARNINGS_AS_ERRORS=OFF, recompile and I got a different error: https://pastebin.com/Gy0Ed0Ji. I followed the instructions in https://github.com/appleseedhq/appleseed/wiki/Building-appleseed-on-Linux; my C compiler is `cc (GCC) 7.1.1 20170630`, my CXX compiler is ` c++ (GCC) 7.1.1 20170630`.

Best,

Alejandro

Hey Alejandro, welcome!

Sure, invite on its way!

You don't appear to have CMake installed. Minimal knowledge about building C++ software is required for this project...

The first error is gcc complaining about a potentially uninitialized member, but the code is actually correct. It's a new warning. Until we fix this warning, 

disabling warnings-as-errors is indeed the right thing to do.

We've never seen the second error, it's an interesting one. Could you raise the topic on Slack, #dev channel? We might want to add gcc 7 to our continuous integration server (Travis) to catch these new errors. I'm not sure how to fix it right away, maybe fixing this problem could be your first contribution? :) Let's discuss on Slack.

Hi!

I would be happy to try to fix it :) The Slack invitation did not arrive though, I'll wait for it.

Best,

Alejandro

[François Beaune]

Awesome :) I've resent the invite... Check your spam folder maybe?

Ouch, it seems like they're having "Outgoing email issues": https://status.slack.com/ Well, we will have to wait, then.

It looks like you didn't clone the git repository (g...@github.com:appleseedhq/appleseed.git).

I'm afraid you're lacking some of the basic skills required to work on this project.

I'd suggest reading a bit about Git and experimenting with it, working with GitHub, playing CMake on a small project, and maybe writing a simple ray tracer in your favorite programming language.

Good luck!
