[opensource-dev] Linux 64 bit libs / 64 bit non-standalone building
Is there progress towards getting Linux 64bit pre-compiled libraries available? I'd love to be able to compile a viewer without having to manually manage my libraries and their versions... Some relevant JIRA issues: http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-12656 - Linux64 pacakges [sic] are incomplete in install.xml http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-13793 - Full support for Linux 64-bit http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-2788 - 64bit problems meta umbrella Hey Oz, I know you are busy, but maybe you could see what it would take to get the last few remaining libraries built in 64 bit. And potentially look at what could be done to provide Linden-built 64 bit viewers... However I understand that there may be issues with having to rework/upgrade to build systems.

I'm actually doing that with openSUSE 11.2 as a "SL anywhere" thing: bootable stick with 11.2 on it + nvidia driver + ati driver + my frozenglobe package... bye, LC ___ 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

Instead of 64bit libs, a *.deb file to resolve dependencies would be nice. This probably would solve some other issues where a distro has its own flavor of libs built.

I pick each component separately and do extensive research on the net before I decide to use it. That being said, I think that these days anything will work with a little bit of effort. It's seldom that a piece of hardware is really not supported. I'm currently using the following configuration: - Motherboard: Asus P5B Deluxe - CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad QX6700 2.66GHz - CPU cooler: Scythe ZIPANG-2 - RAM: Two times a Kingston HyperX DC 2GB kit PC2-6400 800 MHz, LL (2x1GB) (KHX6400D2LLK2/2GN) CL 4-4-4-12 (you have to manually tell your BIOS to use that) (so, four DIMMs and 4GB in total, note that motherboard doesn't support DIMMs that are made of 16x 128Mb chips, so 2GB Kingston HyperX should not work). - Soundcard: Creative Labs SB Live! (EMU10K1) (much better than the soundcard on the motherboard). - Videocard: MSI GeForce 9600GT PCIe - Harddisks: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320 GB, 7200rpm SATA Three times Western Digital Raptor 74GB, 1rpm SATA (RAID5) - CDrom: Lite-On LH-20A1S 20x8x20x DVDRW, SATA - Powersupply: OCZ GameXStream PSU 700Watt, SLI, ATX/EPS12V - Casing: Antec P180B Super mid Tower Aluminium, ATX, black However, if it is SATA it will work, and the RAM doesn't have to do anything with linux either. The only thing you have to check for compatibility is the motherboard (and the controllers on it), and your videocard. The rest can't be a problem. And, as I said, I don't think those two are a problem either. I have currently videocard lock ups (only 3D) at random moments however. I'm not sure what is causing this instability... might be just a bad card :( I'm also not happy with the speed of my RAID. I'm going to add a 16GB RAM disk (ANS-9010) to speed up compiling of the viewer a bit more. Finally, the 3-speed fans that came with the casing (five 120mm fans!) all locked up, and cleaning them only helped for a while, so I had to replace a few of them with a constant speed fan. It took me a long time to decide on those components (several weeks)! -- Carlo Wood ___ 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
Re: [opensource-dev] viewer-external update
Hi, I'm glad to report that export to viewer-external is fixed. Svn rev 3417 contains all the 2.1 code and newest viewer-public development. The Mac build at least works without crashing so it seems safe again to svn update and check. Sorry for the disruption and thanks for your patience.
