Installing the required dependancies

Paths and package names are based on Ubuntu 6.06.

Packages to install before you begin

Copy headers and libraries into the source tree

$ cp -a /usr/include/apr-1.0/ ${SLSRC}/libraries/i686-linux/include/apr-1

$ mkdir ${SLSRC}/libraries/i686-linux/include/expat
$ cp -a /usr/include/expat*.h ${SLSRC}/libraries/i686-linux/include/expat

$ mkdir ${SLSRC}/libraries/i686-linux/include/zlib
$ cp -a /usr/include/zlib*.h ${SLSRC}/libraries/i686-linux/include/zlib/

$ mkdir ${SLSRC}/libraries/i686-linux/include/openjpeg
$ cp ${OPENJPEG}/libopenjpeg/openjpeg.h ${SLSRC}/libraries/i686-linux/include/openjpeg/
$ cp ${OPENJPEG}/libopenjpeg.a ${SLSRC}/libraries/i686-linux/lib_release_client/

$ cp ${FMOD}/api/inc/* ${SLSRC}/libraries/i686-linux/include/
$ cp ${FMOD}/api/libfmod-3.75.so ${SLSRC}/libraries/i686-linux/lib_release_client/

$ mkdir ${SLSRC}/libraries/i686-linux/include/ELFIO
$ cp ${ELFIO}/ELFIO/*.h ${SLSRC}/libraries/i686-linux/include/ELFIO/
$ cp ${ELFIO}/ELFIO/libelfio.so ${SLSRC}/libraries/i686-linux/lib_release_client/

$ mkdir ${SLSRC}/libraries/i686-linux/include/jpeglib
$ cp -a /usr/include/j*.h ${SLSRC}/libraries/i686-linux/include/jpeglib/
$ touch ${SLSRC}/libraries/i686-linux/include/jpeglib/jinclude.h

$ mkdir ${SLSRC}/libraries/i686-linux/include/llfreetype2
$ cp -a /usr/include/freetype2/freetype/ ${SLSRC}/libraries/i686-linux/include/llfreetype2/
$ cp -a /usr/include/ft2build.h ${SLSRC}/libraries/i686-linux/include/llfreetype2/freetype/

$ cp -a /usr/include/atk-1.0 ${SLSRC}/libraries/i686-linux/include/
$ cp -a /usr/include/gtk-2.0 ${SLSRC}/libraries/i686-linux/include/
$ cp -a /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include/* ${SLSRC}/libraries/i686-linux/include/gtk-2.0/
$ cp -a /usr/include/glib-2.0 ${SLSRC}/libraries/i686-linux/include/
$ cp -a /usr/lib/glib-2.0/include/* ${SLSRC}/libraries/i686-linux/include/glib-2.0/
$ cp -a /usr/include/pango-1.0 ${SLSRC}/libraries/i686-linux/include/

if your GTK is fairly recent and thus needs Cairo: 

$ cp -a /usr/include/cairo/* ${SLSRC}/libraries/i686-linux/include/

Compiling

$ cd indra
$ scons DISTCC=no BTARGET=client BUILD=release

  • resulting unstripped binary is then newview/secondlife-i686-bin

Running from inside the tree

  • preparing to run 'in-tree'
    • ensure you have indra/newview/app_settings/static_*.db2 - if not, you'll find it in the 'binary-common' package.

$ cp ../../scripts/messages/message_template.msg app_settings/

  • running it!

$ ( cd newview && LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../../libraries/i686-linux/lib_release_client:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/local/lib  ./secondlife-i686-bin )

Packaging the client

This doesn't work 'out of the box' as an automated process right now.


OLD Ubuntu build notes - may be incorrect

Ubuntu 5.10 and higher uses a newer version of libc6 with a bug fix that breaks our codebase. If you see errors of the form: 

   obj_dat.c:(.text+0x857): undefined reference to `__ctype_b'

...when you try to build our codebase then you need to enable the CTYPE_WORKAROUND. If you use 'make' or 'dmake', add the following lines to your ~/.bashrc file: 

   export SIMULATOR_CPPFLAGS="-DCTYPE_WORKAROUND"
   export RPCSERVER_CPPFLAGS="-DCTYPE_WORKAROUND"
   export DATASERVER_CPPFLAGS="-DCTYPE_WORKAROUND"
   export USERSERVER_CPPFLAGS="-DCTYPE_WORKAROUND"
   export TEST_CPPFLAGS="-DCTYPE_WORKAROUND"

If you use 'scons', add the follow line to your ~/.bashrc file: 

   export SERVER_CPPFLAGS="-DCTYPE_WORKAROUND"

Source your ~/.bashrc, or open a new terminal, and build again.
