One remark is about the strange use of the -p0 option for the patches... Unified diffs (patches) are most usually produced with a command such as: diff -urN original_source_tree/ patched_source_tree/ >resulting_patch.diff which produces patches to apply with 'patch -p1' from inside the source tree directory to patch (and AFAIK this method applies for pretty much all Linux packaging systems). > Although things might look scary at first and not work out-of-the box at > first, I garantee that using this system will increase your productivity > a lot on the long run. It's worth to put time into. I got my own productivity tool which, as a bonus, allows to build and link the viewer against a mixed set of libraries (system libs for the most common libs, and LL's provided ones for exotic or Linden-patched libs), something the viewer build system normally doesn't allow/isn't designed for. It involves typing a simple command, e.g.: cmake-SL /opt/SecondLife/12350 (with all sources, libs, archive tarballs/zips and patches (-p1 ones) held in /opt/SecondLife/12350, here for viewer v1.23.5). I also use it to prepare the sources for later compilation under Windows, (e.g.: cmake-SL /opt/SecondLife/12350 --prep). This tool has been reused and adapted by some third parties viewer developpers and you can therefore find it in several flavours (including some allowing to retreive the source tree from svn repositories). Feel free to reuse part of it for your own script. My original versions are available here: - for v1.19 and earlier viewers: https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/User:Henri_Beauchamp/Automated_Linux_Build_Script_(1.20_and_earlier) - for v1.20 and later viewers (including Snowglobe): https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/User:Henri_Beauchamp/Building_the_viewer_with_CMake/cmake-SL_script Note that I didn't test cmake-SL with Snowglobe 2.x (that viewer is simply too much of a repellent because of its *unusable*, dumbified UI), but it should work too with it (even if more options could be added in cmake-SL to take into account the new libraries in Snowglobe such as qtwebkit and stuff).
