[sldev] Client-side viewer plugins possible?

[Matt Kimmel]

David,

With regard to compiling the Viewer under Visual Studio 2005/2008, it's
important to know that Linden Labs compiled under Visual Studio 2003.
So far, the Visual Studio 2005 project files have been
community-maintained (and you may be the first to try compiling with 2008).

There are also several libraries and header files (including OpenGL's)
that you'll need to find on your own.  The whole process and pointers to
community-maintained project files, as well as instructions on making
your own VS2005 project files, are outlined at this page:
