3DX offers two downloads at http://3dxviewer.com/download-source-code.aspx

This doesn't work at least on Linux, develop.py produces a CMake error 
about Ogre, as I explained in another post. The README helpfully says you 
have to write that one file yourself. I'm rather doubtful this is compliant 
with the GPL.

This one does build, but it is old.

If you're able to compile this one, could you explain what you did to make 
it work?

Heheh, what are they changing?

I'm interested in this, I'll probably make my own viewer (new version 
should be out soon, at last) able to log into OLG as well.

I'm not so sure they're completely compliant yet.

They're perhaps *mostly* compliant, but they make building .160 difficult, 
and based on what I heard it's probably completely intentional, and most 
likely not compliant with the GPL, which specifically requires sources AND 
the build scripts required.

Yeah, I had some issues of my own. This is probably not the best place to 
discuss it, but the interactions I had left a rather sour taste in my 
mouth.
