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-0.10
• 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!)

Possibles:

• ELFIO
• atk-1.0
• glib-2.0
• gtk-2.0
• llfreetype2
• pango-1.0

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.

Also note that for the glh_linear step, you need to have app-text/xmlstarlet installed. You could pull the download source from install.xml yourself, but that's more complex. In the near future I hope to either no longer need that step, or to be able to simplify it even further.

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="$(grep -m 1 "^SLASSET_ART=" "linden/doc/asset_urls.txt" | cut -d= -f2)"
   • file_name="$(basename "$file_url")"
   • wget -nc "$file_url"
   • unzip -oq "$file_name"
4. Get the libs
   • file_url="$(grep -m 1 "^SLASSET_LIBS_LINUXI386=" "linden/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! VWR-9005
   • file_url="$(xml select -t -c "//key[text()='glh_linear']/following-sibling::map[1]/key[text()='packages']/following-sibling::map[1]/key[text()='linux64']/following-sibling::map[1]/uri/text()" "linden/install.xml")"
   • file_name="$(basename "$file_url")"
   • wget -nc "$file_url"
   • cd "linden"
   • tar -xf "../$file_name"
   • cd ..
6. Now for a library that is not included by default, but is needed, NDOF. VWR-5297, VWR-10579 and [1]
   • file_url="http://www.aaue.dk/~janoc/files/software/linux/spacenav/libndofdev-0.2.tar.gz"
   • file_name="$(basename "$file_url")"
   • wget -nc "$file_url"
   • tar -xf "$file_name"
   • cd "libndofdev"
   • make
   • cd ..
   • mkdir "linden/libraries/include/ndofdev/"
   • cp libndofdev/ndofdev_external.h "linden/indra/newview/"
   • cp libndofdev/libndofdev.a "linden/libraries/include/ndofdev/"
7. Finally, apply any patches to the source you feel like...
   • For me this was needed: VWR-9499
   • Also this fixes an issue with using NVidia OpenGL headers: VWR-9557
   • And to fix CMake to handle the location for NDOFDEV: VWR-10579

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 cmake
2. Compile the viewer
   • ./develop.py --standalone -t Release -N build
   • cd ../..

And you should have a new client. At least it worked for me against SVN revision 1619... yay!
