Although I mostly just ported others' fixes that already existed for the 1.x code base and/or Snowglobe 2. > or how far they got. Should be fully working now (see below), if you start form viewer-development (or viewer-beta or viewer-release). About the mesh-development branch ... well, that's another animal entirely when it comes to building 64bit (due to new dependencies and whatnot).

All necessary steps should be on the wiki at Compiling the viewer (Linux) <https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Compiling_the_viewer_%28Linux%29>. > Is it simply the standard steps or something special. Because Linden Lab does not provide pre-built libraries for 64bit linux, you'll have to build "standalone", i.e., using system libraries. (See What does 'Standalone' mean? <https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Compiling_the_viewer_%28Linux%29#What_does_.27Standalone.27_mean.3F>) Thus you'll need to have all build time dependencies installed into your system. The wiki article linked above lists debian and ubuntu package names for most dependencies. Standalone-specific steps are included and marked as such (e.g. through section naming). The build documentation tends to get out-of-date quickly. If you decide to build yourself and run into troubles or have further questions, please do ask on this mailing list or on IRC (channel #opensl on freenode <irc://irc.freenode.org/opensl>) so that you can be helped and the documentation improved/corrected. Good luck & cheers, Boroondas
