HOWTO: Compile RLV 2.7.1 on Linux

Update (11/29/11): Obsolete - see this link.


Things you'll need:
Root access or sudo
Linux -- I worked on a freshly installed Ubuntu 11.04
Internet connectivity

Install the required libraries
Open a terminal window and do the following commands to install the required libraries if your system doesn't already have them.
Install cmake

• sudo apt-get install cmake

Install mercurial

• sudo apt-get install mercurial

Install the X11 libraries

• sudo apt-get install libx11-dev

Install Mesa for OpenGL libs

• sudo apt-get install mesa-common-dev libglu1-mesa-dev

Install bison and flex

• sudo apt-get install bison flex libxrender-dev

Install LL's version of autobuild
Again, in a terminal window type:

• mkdir ~/tmp
• cd ~/tmp
• hg clone http://hg.secondlife.com/autobuild
• cd autobuild
• sudo ./setup.py install

Sometimes autobuild doesn't install the first time, so check to be sure you have it in /usr/local/bin with this command:

• which autobuild

If it isn't there, run sudo ./setup.py install again and do the which command again.

Get the Restrained Love Viewer Source
We need to both get the code, then possibly downgrade to 2.7.1.

• hg clone http://bitbucket.org/marinekelley/rlv rlv-2.7.1
• hg revert --verbose --all --rev=16161

FMOD
Not needed, don't use it! Yay!

Apply my patches for Mac & Linux
Unfortunately, Marine's dev env and mine differ somewhat and when she added my changes into her environment, it broke her build. So, I have to keep my patches separate. Just apply my patch to your copy of the rlv source and you'll be fine. My patch for RLV 2.7.1 is here.

• bunzip2 kittin-rlv-2.7.1.patch.bz2
• cd rlv-2.7.1
• patch --strip=1 -i ../kittin-rlv-2.7.1.patch

Start the build
I made this script rebuild.sh because I get tired of re-entering all the commands. This script is good for both Linux and Mac.

• cp rebuild.sh rlv-2.7.1/
• cd rlv-2.7.1
• bash rebuild.sh
