Compiling the viewer (Mac OS X)

The following are instructions for building the Second Life viewer on Mac OS X. For other platforms, see Compiling the viewer

Development Environment

We use XCode 2.3 for building on Macintosh computers. For simplicity, we suggest installing everything from the mpkg.

Installing Proprietary Libraries

Fmod

• Download & extract fmod 3.75 programmers api for macintosh.
• Copy the extracted files

$ cp -p fmodapi375win/api/inc/*.h linden/libraries/include
$ cp -p fmodapi375win/api/lib/libfmod.a linden/libraries/powerpc-darwin/lib_debug
$ cp -p fmodapi375win/api/lib/libfmod.a linden/libraries/powerpc-darwin/lib_release
$ cp -p fmodapi375win/api/lib/libfmodx86.a linden/libraries/i386-darwin/lib_debug
$ cp -p fmodapi375win/api/lib/libfmodx86.a linden/libraries/i386-darwin/lib_release

Installing Libraries

We supply a package of the required libraries for all platforms.

Installing Libraries From Scratch

We recommend creating a separate third party library directory named 'lindenlib' on the same level as the 'linden' tree in your directory structure. Download, unpack, and build from there and copy the files specified to their final location.

Most of the libs built here are architecture specific, so these instructions will refer to $PLATFORM to denote that. You can set an environment variable to make it so copy & paste from these instructions will work:

$ PLATFORM=`uname -p`-darwin

Boost

Download & extract Boost source. The viewer does not link to the boost libraries, so much of this is not necessary. You can simply copy the header files if you have problems getting the boost package to build.

Copy the Headers

$ cp -r lindenlib/boost-1.33.0/boost linden/libraries/include/boost

Build Boost.Jam

$ cd boost-1.33.0/tools/build/jam_src
$ ./build.sh
$ cp bin.macosxppc/bjam ../../..

Build Boost

$ cd boost-1.33.0/libs
$ export PYTHON_ROOT=/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/
$ export PYTHON_VERSION=2.3
$ ./bjam stage

Copy the Libraries

Assuming you are running on a powerpc mac, this will work. If you are working from an intel mac, replace PLATFORM with 'i386-darwin'.

$ cd boost-1.33.0
$ export PLATFORM=powerpc-darwin
$ cp src/stage/lib/libboost_python-gcc.a \
libraries/$PLATFORM/lib_release
$ cp src/stage/lib/libboost_python-gcc-d.a \ 
libraries/$PLATFORM/lib_debug/libboost_python-gcc.a
$ cp src/stage/lib/libboost_python-gcc-mt.a \
libraries/$PLATFORM/lib_release
$ cp src/stage/lib/libboost_python-gcc-mt-d.a \
libraries/$PLATFORM/lib_debug/libboost_python-gcc-mt.a
$ cp src/stage/lib/libboost_regex-gcc.a \
libraries/$PLATFORM/lib_release
$ cp src/stage/lib/libboost_regex-gcc-d.a \
libraries/$PLATFORM/lib_debug/libboost_regex-gcc.a
$ cp src/stage/lib/libboost_regex-gcc-mt.a \
libraries/$PLATFORM/lib_release
$ cp src/stage/lib/libboost_regex-gcc-mt-d.a \
libraries/$PLATFORM/lib_debug/libboost_regex-gcc-mt.a

Apache Portable Runtime

• Download & extract apr and apr-util.
• Build and install the headers and lib files using a terminal.

$ cd lindenlib/apr-1.2.8
$ ./configure --disable-shared --disable-lfs --prefix=/tmp/apr
$ make
$ make install
$ cd ../..
$ cp -pR /tmp/apr/include/apr-1 linden/libraries/$PLATFORM/include
$ cp /tmp/apr/lib/libapr-1.a linden/libraries/$PLATFORM/lib_release
$ cp /tmp/apr/lib/libapr-1.a linden/libraries/$PLATFORM/lib_debug

$ cd lindenlib/apr-util-1.2.8
$ ./configure --disable-shared --disable-lfs --with-apr=/tmp/apr --prefix=/tmp/apr-util
$ make
$ make install
$ cd ../..
$ cp -pR /tmp/apr-util/include/apr-1 linden/libraries/$PLATFORM/include
$ cp /tmp/apr-util/lib/*.a linden/libraries/$PLATFORM/lib_release
$ cp /tmp/apr-util/lib/*.a linden/libraries/$PLATFORM/lib_debug

Expat

• Download extract the 1.95.8 version of expat.
• Build and install the library

$ cd expat-1.95.8
$ ./configure --prefix=/tmp/expat
$ make
$ make install
$ cd ../..
$ cp -pR /tmp/expat/include linden/libraries/include/expat
$ cp -p /tmp/expat/lib/libexpat.a linden/libraries/$PLATFORM/lib_release
$ cp -p /tmp/expat/lib/libexpat.a linden/libraries/$PLATFORM/lib_debug

XMLRPC-epi

• Download a source package for xmlrpc-epi.
• Apply patch 1 and 2 from the instructions in patch xmlrpc-epi.
• Configure the project:

cd xmlrpc-epi-0.51
./configure --disable-shared --prefix=/tmp/xmlrpc-epi

• Apply patch 3 from the instructions in patch xmlrpc-epi.
• Finish the removal of expat, build, and install

$ rm -rf expat
$ mkdir expat
$ cp /tmp/expat/include/* expat
$ make
$ make install
$ cd ../..
$ cp -pR /tmp/xmlrpc-epi/include linden/libraries/include/xmlrpc-epi
$ cp -p /tmp/xmlrpc-epi/lib/libxmlrpc.a linden/libraries/$PLATFORM/lib_release
$ cp -p /tmp/xmlrpc-epi/lib/libxmlrpc.a linden/libraries/$PLATFORM/lib_debug

JPEGlib

• Download & extract jpeglib. You will minimally need jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz.
• Build and install the library:

$ cd jpeg-6b
$ ./configure
$ make
$ cd ../..
$ mkdir linden/libraries/include/jpeglib
$ cp lindenlib/jpeg-6b/jconfig.h linden/libraries/include/jpeglib
$ cp lindenlib/jpeg-6b/jerror.h linden/libraries/include/jpeglib
$ cp lindenlib/jpeg-6b/jinclude.h linden/libraries/include/jpeglib
$ cp lindenlib/jpeg-6b/jmorecfg.h linden/libraries/include/jpeglib

• Note that the library has a different name in the libraries directory.
• If you plan to use the header file from windows, you will need to patch jpeglib using any terminal.
