[opensource-dev] Update Linux Build Documentation, please?

[Dickson, Mike (ISS Software)]

CG, I get not found errors when trying to access the hg repository for the build system.  Is this repository not operational yet or is the link incorrect in the doc.  Thx!

Mike

There is method to our madness...
I put up a wiki page explaining our automated build process at:

http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Automated_Build_System

Now I wouldn't mind ripping develop.py apart and spreading the guts into the top level build.sh script, but don't have time to do that right now... Instead, I'd rather publish a usable version of the shared build scripts so that everyone can repro our internal builds.

Aleric, you made a great job with your documention effort!

now this page is surely more useful than in the past. However,
it's still a very long document (not your fault, there's very old
stuff there) and I think we can make it even easier
to read, to use, and to mantain as well.

So I propose to split the docs: "building for standalone" vs.
"building non-standalone". Just because otherwise it's too long.

As a first step toward this I created this version of the page:
https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/User:Opensource_Obscure/Compiling_the_viewer_(Linux)<https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/User:Opensource_Obscure/Compiling_the_viewer_%28Linux%29>

There I removed anything related to Standalone, plus
paragraph #10 and following, as there is a note that says
"Everything below is probably outdated" (we can add that
stuff later if/when verified). Feel free to edit.

If we think this is a good idea we can complete the work,
then split the docs and create a separate page, for example
https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Compiling_a_standalone_viewer_(Linux)<https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Compiling_a_standalone_viewer_%28Linux%29>
