In the past, I have been setup for compiling the viewer under VS2005. I haven't done any viewer-compiling for several years. One thing I remember having to do to setup that compiling environment is install the QuicktimeSDK that I had to independently download from Apple, and it took a very long time to install.
Now I am seeing a lot of messages urging all Windows users to uninstall Quicktime, that it will never be updated for Windows, and that it hasn't been updated for 10 years. So the first question is "does uninstalling Quicktime have an impact on Second Life? The second question might be 'do I still need the QuicktimeSDK for compiling viewers? Or is there some substitute by now? In trying to find out more info about Quicktime, I find leads that Homeland Security issued the warning. Then I find Homeland Security copied a noticed from CERT, who copied a notice from Comodo.....and then I start having a few doubts about the warning being quite as dire as I first read. _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
