The following are instructions for building the Second Life viewer on Mac OS X. For other platforms, see Compiling the viewer

Development Environment

We use XCode 2.3 for building on Macintosh computers. For simplicity, we suggest installing everything from the mpkg.

Installing Libraries

We recommend creating a separate third party library directory named 'lindenlib' on the same level as the 'linden' tree in your directory structure. Download, unpack, and build from there and copy the files specified to their final location.

Most of the libs built here are architecture specific, so these instructions will refer to $PLATFORM to denote that. You can set an environment variable to make it so copy & paste from these instructions will work:

$ PLATFORM=`uname -p`-darwin
Boost

Download & extract Boost source. The viewer does not link to the boost libraries, so much of this is not necessary. You can simply copy the header files if you have problems getting the boost package to build.

Copy the Headers
$ cp -r lindenlib/boost-1.33.0/boost linden/libraries/include/boost
Build Boost.Jam
$ cd boost-1.33.0/tools/build/jam_src
$ ./build.sh
$ cp bin.macosxppc/bjam ../../..
Build Boost
$ cd boost-1.33.0/libs
$ export PYTHON_ROOT=/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/
$ export PYTHON_VERSION=2.3
$ ./bjam stage
Copy the Libraries

Assuming you are running on a powerpc mac, this will work. If you are working from an intel mac, replace PLATFORM with 'i386-darwin'.

$ cd boost-1.33.0
$ export PLATFORM=powerpc-darwin
$ cp src/stage/lib/libboost_python-gcc.a \
libraries/$PLATFORM/lib_release
$ cp src/stage/lib/libboost_python-gcc-d.a \ 
libraries/$PLATFORM/lib_debug/libboost_python-gcc.a
$ cp src/stage/lib/libboost_python-gcc-mt.a \
libraries/$PLATFORM/lib_release
$ cp src/stage/lib/libboost_python-gcc-mt-d.a \
libraries/$PLATFORM/lib_debug/libboost_python-gcc-mt.a
$ cp src/stage/lib/libboost_regex-gcc.a \
libraries/$PLATFORM/lib_release
$ cp src/stage/lib/libboost_regex-gcc-d.a \
libraries/$PLATFORM/lib_debug/libboost_regex-gcc.a
$ cp src/stage/lib/libboost_regex-gcc-mt.a \
libraries/$PLATFORM/lib_release
$ cp src/stage/lib/libboost_regex-gcc-mt-d.a \
libraries/$PLATFORM/lib_debug/libboost_regex-gcc-mt.a
Apache Portable Runtime
  • Download & extract apr and apr-util.
  • Build and install the headers and lib files using a terminal.
$ cd lindenlib/apr-1.2.8
$ ./configure --disable-shared --disable-lfs --prefix=/tmp/apr
$ make
$ make install
$ cd ../..
$ cp -pR /tmp/apr/include/apr-1 linden/libraries/$PLATFORM/include
$ cp /tmp/apr/lib/libapr-1.a linden/libraries/$PLATFORM/lib_release
$ cp /tmp/apr/lib/libapr-1.a linden/libraries/$PLATFORM/lib_debug

$ cd lindenlib/apr-util-1.2.8
$ ./configure --disable-shared --disable-lfs --with-apr=/tmp/apr --prefix=/tmp/apr-util
$ make
$ make install
$ cd ../..
$ cp -pR /tmp/apr-util/include/apr-1 linden/libraries/$PLATFORM/include
$ cp /tmp/apr-util/lib/*.a linden/libraries/$PLATFORM/lib_release
$ cp /tmp/apr-util/lib/*.a linden/libraries/$PLATFORM/lib_debug
Expat
  • Download extract the 1.95.8 version of expat.
  • Build and install the library
$ cd expat-1.95.8
$ ./configure --prefix=/tmp/expat
$ make
$ make install
$ cd ../..
$ cp -pR /tmp/expat/include linden/libraries/include/expat
$ cp -p /tmp/expat/lib/libexpat.a linden/libraries/$PLATFORM/lib_release
$ cp -p /tmp/expat/lib/libexpat.a linden/libraries/$PLATFORM/lib_debug
Freetype
  • Download and extract FreeType.
  • Build and install the FreeType library:
$ cd freetype-2.2.1
$ ./configure --prefix=/tmp/freetype
$ make
$ make install
$ cd ../..
$ cp -pR /tmp/freetype/include/freetype2/freetype linden/libraries/include
$ cp -p /tmp/freetype/lib/libfreetype.a linden/libraries/$PLATFORM/lib_release
$ cp -p /tmp/freetype/lib/libfreetype.a linden/libraries/$PLATFORM/lib_debug
OpenGL Extensions
XMLRPC-epi
cd xmlrpc-epi-0.51
./configure --disable-shared --prefix=/tmp/xmlrpc-epi
  • Apply patch 3 from the instructions in patch xmlrpc-epi.
  • Finish the removal of expat, build, and install
$ rm -rf expat
$ mkdir expat
$ cp /tmp/expat/include/* expat
$ make
$ make install
$ cd ../..
$ cp -pR /tmp/xmlrpc-epi/include linden/libraries/include/xmlrpc-epi

Vorbis & Ogg
  • Download & extract libvorbis.
  • Download & extract libogg.
  • Build & copy libogg first:
$ cd libogg-1.1.3
$ ./configure --prefix=/tmp/ogg
$ make
$ make install
$ cd ../..
$ cp -pR /tmp/ogg/include/ogg linden/libraries/include
$ cp -p /tmp/ogg/lib/libogg.a linden/libraries/$PLATFORM/lib_debug

OpenJPEG
  • Download and extract openjpeg source.
  • Copy the linden openjpeg makefiles into the openjpeg source top level directory. We have to do this to maintain 10.3.9 compatibility.
  • Build and install the library
$ mkdir ../../linden/libraries/include/openjpeg
$ cp -p libopenjpeg/openjpeg.h ../../linden/libraries/include/openjpeg
$ make -f Makefile-i386.ppc libopenjpeg.a
