[sldev] [HELP] C++ newbie needs help with first compilation

[Maya Remblai]

There's another reason to know: Being able to allow others to download 
an already compiled viewer! I imagine that most of my customers won't 
know how to apply the patch I made, but some would like to use an 
already built viewer that allows them to hide their avatar mesh. 
Although I hope someone with more expertise will provide a built viewer 
soon, since I already have the files I may as well do it myself if I can 
find instructions.
