[opensource-dev] attempting to compile a viewer

I want to thank everyone who helped me with getting the viewer to compile.
I also want to post this here for future reference, and anyone else 
having trouble.

First, I have been successful in compiling a viewer, and running it 
from within VS2005.

Here is what I did:

1.  I uninstalled all the Python interpreters that were installed.
2.  I installed Python 2.7.1.  This time, I installed the 64-bit 
version that I had overlooked earlier.
3.  I had to manually add the path to the Python directory.

I ran:

python develop.py -G VC80

and after it did a few things including verifying that VS was 
working, I had an error message that the python interpreter couldn't be found.
I stumbled across http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Talk:CMake and 
found a solution by adding

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Python\\PythonCore\\2.7\\InstallPath]

to my \linden\indra\cmake\Python.cmake file.

At this point, I was successful in running python develop.py -G VC80, 
but I did have 1 error message about not finding devenv.com, which I 
was able to find with no effort, so I don't know why the error came 
up.  Ignoring it, I went on with the steps in the wiki, and I was 
successful in building 1.23.4, and runing a debug version without 
debugging, and successfully logged-on to the grid.

I don't know if the devenv.com is going to come back and bite me.
