Compiling the Second Life Viewer source code on Ubuntu Edgy – 2

my system specs – hardware and software i use.

if you need info about the debian packages installed on my Ubuntu Edgy system, see precedent post or leave a comment.

unpacked (grabbed from here. see also the source archive):

• tar xzf slviewer-src-20070112c.tar.gz
• tar xzf slviewer-linux-libs-20070112c.tar.gz
• tar xzf fmodapi375linux.tar.gz

copied required FMOD headers and libraries into the Second Life Viewer source tree:

• cd into the FMOD directory
• cp api/inc/* ../linden/libraries/i686-linux/include/
• cp api/libfmod-3.75.so ../linden/libraries/i686-linux/lib_release_client/

copied other headers:

• export SLSRC=…/linden/
• 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/

i’m using slviewer-linux-libs so i don’t need other headers or libs

i edited the client-manifest-i686 file in indra/newview/linux_tools decommenting two kdu-related lines

at 1st try i got an error about cairo not found, so i also did:

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

note: the leading spaces from the 6 ‘ ../libraries/’ strings from around line 187 onwards were already the removed for me in the indra/SConstruct file

then i get into the indra directory and start building (15.00 italian time):

• scons DISTCC=no BTARGET=client BUILD=releasefordownload

two hours and half later, the build is complete.

i extract the resulting bz2 archive, but app_settings lacks lots of files.
i made some mistake but i don’t know what.

instead, i can succesfully run the client from the source tree. veery slow. so i try

• cp “$SLSRC/libraries/i686-linux/lib_release_client/libllkdu.so” “$SLSRC/indra/newview/libllkdu.so”
• mkdir “$SLSRC/indra/lib”
• cp “$SLSRC/libraries/i686-linux/lib_release_client/libkdu_v42R.so” “$SLSRC/indra/lib/libkdu_v42R.so” -i

and then it runs good!
complete build output follows.
