Well, in last 48 to 72 hours, I have been trying to build secondlife from source on x86_64, with less and less hope after each hours. Searching for help, I discovered libsecondlife: http://www.libsecondlife.org/wiki/Main_Page and http://opensimulator.org/ . Being in .NET, I hope, or at least was hoping, to have much less problems compiling it. So I began to follow instructions at: http://www.libsecondlife.org/wiki/Getting_Started#Linux Seems we have in extra: mono, nant and subversion. So I began to make a NUnit package: === # Contributor: Paul Dufresne <dufresnep@gmail.com> pkgname=nunit pkgver=2.4.6 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="a unit-testing framework for all .Net languages" arch=('i686' 'x86_64') url="http://www.nunit.org/index.php" license=('unknown') depends=('mono') makedepends=('mono' 'nant') provides=() conflicts=() replaces=() backup=() groups=() options=() install= source=("http://superb-west.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/nunit/NUnit-${pkgver}-src.zip") noextract=() md5sums=('a422333d3516d75d5098568fb4984834') build() { cd $startdir/src/src nant build-all || return 1 } === Well, the instructions suggest: sudo nant build-all, well, I tought building in fakeroot would be enough but this gives me: === ==> Starting build()... ** (/usr/share/NAnt/bin/NAnt.exe:8561): CRITICAL **: _wapi_shm_file_open: shared file [/root/.wapi/shared_data-myhost-Linux-x86_64-328-11-0] open error: Permission denied ** (/usr/share/NAnt/bin/NAnt.exe:8561): CRITICAL **: _wapi_shm_attach: shared file [/root/.wapi/shared_data-myhost-Linux-x86_64-328-11-0] open error ** ERROR **: file shared.c: line 346 (shm_semaphores_init): assertion failed: (tmp_shared != NULL) aborting...

So I am writing this 'Help!' message. ;-) In case you are curious about my attempts at building a source port for secondlife, my latest incarnation is: === # This does not work, maybe one day it will. ;-) # Contributor: Paul Dufresne <dufresnep@gmail.com> pkgname=secondlife pkgver=1.18.5.3 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="a 3-D virtual world entirely built and owned by its residents" url="http://www.secondlife.com/" license="GPL" depends=('gtk2>2.0' 'nss' 'mesa' 'libgl' 'apr-util' 'libstdc++5' 'cairo' 'glib' 'atk' 'sdl' 'libvorbis' 'curl' 'boost' 'gdk-pixbuf' 'pango' # pangoft2 pangox pangoxft vorbisenc vorbisfile # 'gmobile>2.0' 'gdk>2.0' ) # the SConstruct have some info like: # needs: cairo glib-2.0 (2.0???) atk gmobile-2.0 gdk-2.0 gdk-pixbuf-2.0 pango pangoft2 # pangox pangoxft gtk+-2.0 sdl vorbis vorbisenc vorbisfile makedepends=('scons' 'gcc34' 'flex' 'bison') # 'zlib' 'openssl' 'curl' 'c-ares') arch=('x86_64') # not tested on 'i686', if you try remove ARCH=x86_64 on scons line conflicts=('secondlife-bin') # does it? install=secondlife.install source=('secondlife.desktop' 'secondlife.install' 'secondlife.launcher' "http://secondlife.com/developers/opensource/downloads/2007/11/slviewer-src-${pkgver}.tar.gz" "http://secondlife.com/developers/opensource/downloads/2007/11/slviewer-artwork-${pkgver}.zip" "'http://secondlife.com/developers/opensource/downloads/2007/11/slviewer-linux-libs-${pkgver}.tar.gz" # 'http://www.fmod.org/index.php/release/version/fmodapi375linux.tar.gz' 'http://secondlife.com/developers/opensource/downloads/2007/12/llmozlib-src-2...') md5sums=('1e94b39e84e74321d40f0ab9fefd3db1' 'e8222152e75bd8859b72da028fb35963' '067f489be9fd2280ce2e12ed94ea7950' 'c53755a73135168928b9c6f236eebaa6' '5fdea9fbbd0a92b907c1a864a8c00160' 'd1264d2a70f64d8ef1f5fc5b28bcde63' '31b014f75100dcb6105202b29e26bc4c') build() { cd $startdir/src/ msg "We don't include sound for now, this portage does not way anyway, and adding this" msg " force you to become root and rm -r src; rm -r pkg each time when executed under fakeroot" # msg "First, let's deal with fmod to have sound!" # msg "it may make the result less open-source!"# the SConstruct have some info like: # needs: cairo glib-2.0 atk gmobile-2.0 gdk-2.0 gdk-pixbuf-2.0 pango pangoft2 pangox pangoxft gtk+-2.0 sdl vorbis vorbisenc vorbisfile # cd fmodapi375linux/ # cp api/inc/* ../linden/libraries/i686-linux/include/ # cp api/libfmod-3.75.so ../linden/libraries/i686-linux/lib_release_client/ # # was causing rights errors, but it seems I had decompressed files as root # sleep 3 cd $startdir/src/linden # Build the stuff msg 'Building can take hours!

Then I got gdk not installed problem. But for now, help is required on nunit. Well, maybe it not even mandatory for libsecondlife. Well, maybe I am becoming tired.
