I'd suggest starting out by trying to follow the instructions at http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Compiling_the_Viewer_(MSVS2008)<http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Compiling_the_Viewer_%28MSVS2008%29>although note the warning at the top of the page. I'm not sure if that's still relevant though.
I wish you the best of luck btw, I have tried and failed several times on my attempts to build the viewer from scratch, the phrase "Abandon all hope all ye who enter here" is fitting. -Gordon Wendt On Tue, May 26, 2009 at 1:51 AM, Maya Remblai < [email protected]> wrote: > Oops sorry, I'm using Visual C++ 2008 Express 9.0. > > Also, I fixed the fmod issue, I had forgotten to copy a couple of the > files to the right places.
