There will be a better way (was: [sldev] There has to be a better way (or how I learned to stop worrying but still continuing to hate trying to compile the sl source code))

Is it possible for someone to post a link to complete instructions on
building the current CMake viewer? Or do these not exist yet?

I had absolutely no problem building the viewer under the previous system.
However now that it has changed I am not sure where to even start.

A complete start to finish guide would be nice.
