Just another scripter about trying to make things better.

Also I'm another URU immigrant. Started playing Unti'l URU about 3 months after D'Mala was put up, now playing here after D'Mala was shutdown for Live. I love the Myst universe, but I have yet to pay for any online game. Even one that good.

Compiling on Gentoo AMD64

Needed packages

Make sure the following packages are installed:

• dev-libs/boost
• dev-util/scons
• media-libs/gstreamer
• media-libs/gst-plugins-base

(More will be found when I study my world file, and maybe when I rebuild my system... If you know a package is needed, by all means append it to the list!)

Get source and "accessories"

If this reads like a script, it's because that's what I built for myself and this was taken from the process I use there.

1. Make a directory to put all the stuff into...
   • mkdir SLDev64
   • cd SLDev64
2. Get the source.
   • mkdir linden
   • svn checkout --non-interactive "https://svn.secondlife.com/svn/linden/trunk" linden/
3. Get the latest artwork.
   • file_url="$(grep -m 1 "^SLASSET_ART=" "$SL_SVN_CO_DIR/doc/asset_urls.txt" | cut -d= -f2)"
   • file_name="$(basename "$file_url")"
   • wget -nc "$file_url"
   • unzip -oq "$file_name"
4. Get the libs
   • file_url="$(grep -m 1 "^SLASSET_LIBS_LINUXI386=" "$SL_SVN_CO_DIR/doc/asset_urls.txt" | cut -d= -f2)"
   • file_name="$(basename "$file_url")"
   • wget -nc "$file_url"
   • tar -xf "$file_name"
5. Get glh_linear. For some reason it's not auto-included when building stand-alone!
   • file_url="$(xml select -t -c "//key[text()='glh_linear']/following-sibling::map[1]/key[text()='packages']/following-sibling::map[1]/key[text()='linux64']/following-sibling::map[1]/uri/text()" "$SL_SVN_CO_DIR/install.xml")"
   • file_name="$(basename "$file_url")"
   • wget -nc "$file_url"
   • cd "linden"
   • tar -xf "../$file_name"
   • cd ..
6. Now for a library that is not included by default, but is needed, NDOF. VWR-5297 and [1]
   • file_url="http://www.aaue.dk/~janoc/files/software/linux/spacenav/libndofdev-0.2.tar.gz"
   • file_name="$(basename "$file_url")"
   • wget -nc "$file_url"
   • tar -xf "$file_name"
   • cd "libndofdev"
   • make
   • cd ..
   • cp libndofdev/ndofdev_external.h "$SL_SVN_CO_DIR/indra/newview/"
   • cp libndofdev/libndofdev.a "$SL_SVN_CO_DIR/libraries/$(arch)-linux/lib_release_client/"
7. Finally, apply any patches to the source you feel like...
   • For me this was needed: VWR-9499

Building the viewer

Also from a process worked out in a script...

1. Configure the tree
   • cd "linden/indra"
   • ./develop.py --standalone -t Release -N
   • cd ../..
2. Find out what OpenGL library you are using, and switch to the xorg-x11 implementation.
   • opengl_lib="$(eselect opengl show)"
   • sudo eselect opengl set xorg-x11
3. Compile the viewer
   • cd "linden/indra/viewer-linux-$(arch)-release"
   • make
4. Switch back to your old OpenGL library.
   • sudo eselect opengl set $opengl_lib

And you should be done... Admittedly this only took me to 99% so far... More debugging...
