ASSUMPTIONS:

Source version 1.21-r99587

Windows 32bit OS

REQUIREMENTS

Cygwin (make sure that patchutils, flex and bison (all under "devel") are installed)

Python (the cmake scripts specifically EXCLUDE the cygwin version of the Python interpreter in the FindPython.cmake script, see step 3 below)

PREREQUISITES:

SETUP CMAKE: Download CMAKE 2.4.8 from http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.4/cmake-2.4.8-win32-x86.exe Install CMAKE Make sure both CMake and Python are both in the windows PATH environment variable

STEP 1

DOWNLOAD SOURCE: http://secondlife.com/developers/opensource/downloads/2008/10/slviewer-src-viewer_1-21-r99587.zip

DOWNLOAD LIBS http://secondlife.com/developers/opensource/downloads/2008/10/slviewer-win32-libs-viewer_1-21-r99587.zip

DOWNLOAD ARTWORK http://secondlife.com/developers/opensource/downloads/2008/10/slviewer-artwork-viewer_1-21-r99587.zip

STEP 2

EXTRACT ALL THREE ZIP FILES TO SAME PATH (no spaces in the path name) ie "D:\SL_SRC\"

this will result in a single folder inside D:\SL_SRC\ called "linden" ("D:\SL_SRC\linden")

TODO: insert directory tree here

STEP 3

RUN develop.py SCRIPT

run a command prompt in the "D:\SL_SRC\linden\indra" path

run the script using "develop.py -G VC90"

NOTE: to get the develop.py script to find the python interpreter when using Python 2.6, I needed to modify the D:\SL_SRC\linden\indra\cmake\Python.cmake file (to include the python path (C:\\Python26\\ on my system) when looking for the python executable) as follows:

 find_program(PYTHON_EXECUTABLE
   NAMES python25.exe python23.exe python.exe
   NO_DEFAULT_PATH # added so that cmake does not find cygwin python
   PATHS
   C:\\Python26\\
   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Python\\PythonCore\\2.5\\InstallPath]
   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Python\\PythonCore\\2.4\\InstallPath]
   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Python\\PythonCore\\2.3\\InstallPath]
   )

   OUTPUT from develop.py

   Quitting do to error opening: D:\SL_SRC\linden\indra\build-VC90\SecondLife.sln

NOTE: this appears to be a problem with using VStools with the express version of VC++, I had to manually set the Startup Project, Build Type, and Working directory (see step 5)

STEP 4

place FMOD files in proper places

Copy "fmodapi375win\api\inc\fmod.h" to "linden\libraries\include"

Copy "fmodapi375win\api\inc\fmod_errors.h" to "linden\libraries\include"

Copy "fmodapi375win\api\lib\fmodvc.lib" to "linden\libraries\i686-win32\lib\release" and to "linden\libraries\i686-win32\lib\debug"

Copy "fmodapi375win\api\fmod.dll" to "linden\indra\newview"

STEP 5

OPEN D:\SL_SRC\linden\indra\build-VC90\secondlife.sln in VC++

set secondlife-bin to Startup Project

set the working directory to D:\SL_SRC\indra\newview

select build type RelWithDebInfo

Remove the llkdu.dll.rule entries (three of them) from the copy_win_libs project CMake Rules folder (per the notes from Cristopher Omega at https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Talk:CMake#CMake_and_Visual_Studio_C.2B.2B_2005_Express_Edition

click the green arrow (start debugging)

Build was successful, but the executable doesn't run properly, it hangs , looping through code in the XTREE source file. I suspect this is due to problems with the BOOST libraries and using the 2008 version of VC++ (see Michelle Z's page https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/User:Michelle2_Zenovka/cmake#boost_hell ).

I am working on compiling boost 1.36 with VC++2008 EXPRESS to use with the 1.21.6 source code.
