Notes related to SNOW-375 on how to download, compile, install, and run the viewer with detached windows.
Use git to download the repository:
$ git clone http://gitweb.dzonux.net/project/communicator.git
There are a few branches:
master - source branch of current version communicator - latest development branch (merges into master, tagged into X.X.X) communicator.X.X.X - tagged branches of specific version X
Refer to my notes on my compilation experience of Snowglobe on Linux.
Before you extract the artwork and libraries archives, create a symbolic link called 'linden' that points to the existing 'communicator/' directory. Put it in the same directory as 'communicator/'.
Start Communicator after you start Snowglobe:
$ cd indra/viewer-*/indra/communicator $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./communicator.exe
You can restart Communicator anytime.
Issues
- Need to automatically spawn Communicator when Snowglobe starts. Currently have to spawn separately.
- Need a preference panel option to set address of Web/REST server port. (Used to connect from communicator to viewer asynchronously.)
- Need a preference panel option to set address of default TCP dial-out port. (Used to connect from viewer to communicator synchronously.)
- Update cmake build-package to include communicator and extra libs if specified on cmake config or make command, but not to include by default.
- Need a debug option to Hide/Show built-in communicator windows when detached windows are shown.
