I'm on Gentoo Linux, and the build instructions for Linux [1] have never worked for me (./develop.py cmake; ./develop.py build). I've talked with some people on IRC, and I'm now under the impression that develop.py is rather obsolete, which may be part of my problem. However, that doesn't really help me, as I have no idea how to use cmake.
Also, the build instructions have a lot of caveats for standalone builders, which, as someone who has never even been able to complete a non-standalone build, I am rather confused by. So, I'd like it if someone could update the linux build documentation, and make it really easy for first-time (non-standalone) builders to follow: - Show how to use cmake rather than develop.py - seperate out standalone and non-standalone into seperate documents As an aside, the Imprudence viewer team has really overhauled the build process, and as a result, Imprudence is the only viewer that is actually able to find all my libraries and complete a build from an svn checkout. I would strongly suggest you integrate their build changes into the main viewer. If there is really going to be more focus on open source, it is really important to make sure new people like me are able to compile the viewer from source.
