The wiki instructions for the retrieving the source code and building
the viewer seem out of date.
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Get_source_and_compile
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Microsoft_Windows_Builds
Should these pages be marked out of date and include links to the
newer Project Snowstorm pages?
Yes... I've added them to my list of pages to update.
Only the version control repository page was marked as out of date.
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Version_control_repository
The Project Snowstorm page links to a page that includes a discussion
about retrieving the source code from the repository:
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Develop_Viewer_Code
I encountered two problems on the "Develop Viewer Code" page.
Firstly, it took a wee while to find a client application that could
retrieve the source code from the repository. Would adding links to
client applications be helpful? I assume the following application is
reliable:
http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/
It's widely used :-) I've added a pointer to the Mercurial wiki, where
many tools are listed.
Secondly, there was a link to a "build" page that was expected to hold
the build instructions.
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/How_To_Build_The_Viewer
The above page was empty.
Does the viewer-development build follow the same process outlined in
the original "Microsoft Windows Builds" page?
Are all of the third-party applications (CMake, Cygwin, Python, etc)
still required?
Are Artwork and Libraries bundles from the following page still required?

Thank you in advance for help in getting a viewer-development build
happening under Windoze.
And thank you for the careful description of your problems.
There are some new tools coming in the next couple of weeks that will
significantly simplify building, and especially getting the various
dependencies. We'll update the wiki with all of that very soon, and
probably hold at least one in-world tutorial session about them.
