Common compilation problems

Windows

Compiling on MSVC 2005

Mozilla is not compatible with visual studio 2005, so we have not migrated the codebase, so we do not know if it works.

What sort of errors are seen?

Linux

• From Mako Mabellon: Having a bit of trouble with ELFIO 1.0.3 under Linux - it wants to build a static library libELFIO.a, and Second Life appears to expect a shared library libelfio.so (judging from the build instructions on the Wiki)...
  • Tofu says... 'You can rename the library to have the right case. I don't know why ours ended up lower-case and yours is upper-case - I'll look into it.'

• Something like: error: extra qualification 'LLMessageSystem::' on member 'init'
  • Tofu says... 'This is likely a GCC 4.x thing. We need GCC 3.4 or thereabouts, for now.'

• Something like: linden/indra/i686-linux-client-release/llrender/llimagegl.cpp:122: error: `glActiveTextureARB' was not declared in this scope
  • Tofu says... 'You'll need to install OpenGL headers if you don't already have them: gl.h, gl_ext.h, glu.h (The ones from 'mesa' should work)'
