=== C1083: Cannot open include file: 'dxdiag.h' ===
The DirectX SDK doesn't automatically insert its include directory into the VS2003 paths. For the June 2008 DirectX SDK release, go to Tools -> Options -> Projects (on left) -> VC++ Directories. On right show directories for Include files, and add:
* C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (June 2008)\Include
=== C1083: Cannot open include file: 'unistd.h' ===
On Apr 27, 2008 in thread [sldev] error while compiling on vc8/9 (unistd.h), SLDev contributor wuhanzymail <wuhanzymail@163.com> recommended the following:
1) right-click project lscript_compile, choose properties, c/c++, Preprocessor, add YY_NO_UNISTD_H to Preprcessor Definitions.
2) in lex_yy.cpp, line 5915 change:
 #ifndef __cplusplus
 extern int isatty (int );
 #endif
to:
 #ifndef YY_NEVER_INTERACTIVE
 extern int isatty (int );
 #endif
3) still in lex_yy.cpp, line 5943 change:
 b->yy_is_interactive = file ? (isatty( fileno(file) ) > 0) : 0;
to:
 #if YY_NEVER_INTERACTIVE
 b->yy_is_interactive = 0;
 #else
 b->yy_is_interactive = file ? (isatty( fileno(file) ) > 0) : 0;
 #endif
=== C4018: '<' : signed/unsigned mismatch ===
On Apr 30, 2008 in thread [sldev] cygwin flex lscript_compile workaround, SLDev contributor Steve Linden recommended the following:
I'm not sure whether this has already been addressed here, but we 
discovered a problem with the latest version of Cygwin flex and 
lscript_compile and I thought I would share the workaround. We've 
committed the workaround to our release-candidate branche so it should 
be in an upcoming source drop as well.
1. Add YY_NO_UNISTD_H to the list of Preprocessor Definitions in the 
lscript_compile project file.
2. Apply the following patch it indra.l:

=== [...] error result returned from 'link.exe' ===
By checking the Output window (View menu -> Other Windows), this shows up as an error saying: link: extra operand `/NOLOGO' 
As reported by Brad Linden, this is caused by having the compiler executable directories in the wrong order, with the Cygwin directory path listed above the Visual Studio paths. This causes the Cygwin linker to be used instead of Visual Studio's linker.
Go to Tools -> Options -> Projects -> VC++ Directories, show directories for Executables, and move "C:\cygwin\bin" to the bottom of the list.
== Unresolved external symbol _CLSID_DxDiagProvider/_IID_IDxDiagProvider ==
* newview error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _CLSID_DxDiagProvider
* newview error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _IID_IDxDiagProvider
These errors reportedly occur with MSVC 2003 and certain versions of the DirectX SDK. To workaround, edit lldxhardware.cpp and replace the following (line 35):
 #include <dxdiag.h>
with...
 #define INITGUID
 #include <dxdiag.h>
 #undef INITGUID
== Cannot open input file 'dxguid.lib' ==
* fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'dxguid.lib' in ...
If you are using a fairly recent DirectX SDK ("December 2006" or newer), your VC++ Libraries Directory may be wrong because the SDK's lib folder now has 2 sub-folders for x64 and x86. Try changing the path from C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (December 2006)\Lib to C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (December 2006)\ Lib\x86
== Cannot open input file 'dxerr8.lib' ==
* fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'dxerr8.lib'
If you are using the most recent DirectX SDK ("November 2007"), the file dxerr8.lib does no longer exist. To fix this, you'll need to change the newview project to include 'dxerr9.lib' instead. To do this, right-lick newview > Configuration Properties > Linker > Input, click Additional Dependencies on the right to show a button labeled "..." on it at the very right on the line, then click the ... button. Scroll down the list to find 'dxerr8.lib'. Rewrite it to 'dxerr9.lib'. Remember to do this for both the ReleaseForDownload and the ReleaseNoOpt Configurations.
== A tool returned an error code from "Building ytab.cpp" ==
* lscript_compile_fb error PRJ0019: A tool returned an error code from "Building ytab.cpp" 
One possible reason for this is that Visual Studio does not know where cygwin/bin is, especially if this is accompanied by an error relating to bison.exe being an invalid command. Even if the directory for cygwin is in the environment variable PATH, Visual Studio maintains its own separate copy which does not seem to be automatically synchronized after the initial installation.
For Visual Studio .NET 2003, go to Tools > Options > Projects > VC++ Directories. In the "show directories for" dropdown, choose "Executable files". Make sure that your cygwin (default C:\cygwin\bin) and ActivePython (default C:\Python25) directories are listed.
== Cannot open include file: 'ytab.h': No such file or directory ==
* indra.l (20) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'ytab.h': No such file or directory.
Workaround: Manually copy "linden\indra\lscript\lscript_compile\ytab.hpp" to "linden\indra\lscript\lscript_compile\ytab.h" and build again. 
Note: The underlying issue is that in indra.y there is a postbuild step which should do this automatically, but which is missing in some configurations (e.g. in Debug builds).
== Cannot open include file: 'png.h': No such file or directory ==
* imagepng.cpp : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'libpng12/png.h': No such file or directory.
There are a couple of files missing since the 1.17. distribution. You can either get the missing files from the internet (from the libpng and zlib projects) or download a set with just the missing files from here (see the readme.txt inside the png archive there).
== Cannot open include file: 'glh/glh_linear.h' or 'glh/glh_convenience.h' ==
These files are currently missing from Linden Windlight distributions. See JIRA VWR-3415 or grab a copy from here and put the files into a folder named linden/libraries/include/glh.
== Errors relating to "template_verifier.py" ==
With version 1.18 a template verifier script written in Python is used to ensure the message template is correct. In some distributions the file was missing. You will also get an error if you have skipped the Python install. In both cases it is safe to hack the prebuild.bat file in the newview folder as described on the JIRA VWR-1267
== Missing resources ==
* .\res\newViewRes.rc(64) : error RC2135 : file not found: ll_icon.ico
Some releases have missing files, which were reported to be last seen in the 1.14.0.1 release.
* Go to the source downloads page and grab the [1.14.0.1 viewer] sources.
* Explore the archive to "linden/indra/newview/res" folder and extract content to your "linden/indra/newview/res" folder into current revision.
Missing folder in recent release, "1.17.0.12" which causes the SecondLife to hang while loading into the world.
* Go to the previous source and copy the missing folder, "Character" and place it into the "newview" folder
== Error code from "Copying message template" ==
* newview error PRJ0019: A tool returned an error code from "Copying message template"
This is caused by the script trying to do a copy command, but the source path isn't in quotes. Open up newview.vcproj in notepad, and near the bottom there are 4 line that say:
 CommandLine="copy $(InputPath) .\app_settings\message_template.msg
replace them with
 CommandLine="copy &quot;$(InputPath)&quot; .\app_settings\message_template.msg
The source and destination paths on line 158 may also require wrapping in quotes. In which case:
 CommandLine="copy $(TargetDir)\$(TargetFileName) $(ProjectDir)
should become:
 CommandLine="copy &quot;$(TargetDir)\$(TargetFileName)&quot; &quot;$(ProjectDir)&quot;
== Can not find library ll*.lib ==
If you get a compile error for missing libraries with names of the projects (lscript_compile.lib, llaudio.lib, llcharacter.lib, etc.) go to newview > Properties > Linker > Input and remove these from the list of input libraries (they will be linked through the dependencies and should not be in the list).
== Cannot open include file: 'windows.h' ==
If you run into this problem:
 ..\..\..\boost/regex/v4/fileiter.hpp(44) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'windows.h': No such file or directory
Fix it with this: (thanks Fairlight!)
 set INCLUDE=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Include;%INCLUDE%
 set LIB=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Lib;%LIB%
You might need to edit the above path to refer to your particular platform SDK. If you don't have the Microsoft Windows Platform SDK installed, then you can download it for free from Microsoft. It is version specific and can be tricky to find on their website.
If you're having problems with windows.h in Visual Studio Express 2005, check out this forum post:
MSDN Forum Post
== Unresolved external symbol "int __cdecl lscript_compile" (VS2005) ==
* llcompilequeue.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "int __cdecl lscript_compile(char const *,char const *,char const *,int)" (?lscript_compile@@YAHPBD00H@Z) referenced in function "protected: void __thiscall LLFloaterCompileQueue::compile(char const *,class LLUUID const &)" (?compile@LLFloaterCompileQueue@@IAEXPBDABVLLUUID@@@Z)
* llpreviewscript.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "int __cdecl lscript_compile(char const *,char const *,char const *,int)" (?lscript_compile@@YAHPBD00H@Z)
This is not entirely clear, but there seems to be a problem with VS2005 if projects are unloaded while being in the dependency tree. I have seen this error while I had win_crash_logger and win_updater unloaded from the project tree and the problem went away when I loaded them back and excluded them from the newview dependency first.
Also make sure that in newview, properties, linker, input, input libraries, no libraries named ll*.lib and lscript_compile.lib are listed there (remove them if you find them).
Also be sure that your error does not come from previously in the log: like the cgywin component bison not being found. For MSVS2005 Express, you may need to go to tools>options>Projects and Solutions>VC++ Directories>Executable files and add the directory for cgywin. 
== Unresolved external symbol __invalid_parameter_noinfo (VS2005) ==
* llmozlib-vc80.lib(llembeddedbrowserwindow.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __invalid_parameter_noinfo referenced
You are most likely trying a debug build under VS2005. For debug builds, see the compile instruction section on finding_leaks
== Cannot open include file: 'ares.h' ==
download src from http://daniel.haxx.se/projects/c-ares/
compile c-ares-1.4.0/vc/areslib
copy c-ares-1.4.0/vc/areslib/Release/areslib.lib to linden/libraries/i686-win32/lib_release and to lib_debug
copy c-ares-1.4.0/*.h to linden/libraries/i686-win32/include/ares
===FMOD===
FMOD headers and libs need to be copied into the viewer build directory BUT on Windows the manifests are not currently moving the libs to the correct location post build so the application will fail to run, to resolve copy fmod.dll to indra/build-vc71/newview/debug and indra/build-vc71/newview/relwithdebinfo and indra/build-vc71/newview/release
===Boost and VS 2008===
If you use Visual Studio C++ 2008 (VC90), you may find that the Boost library will lock up solid and the viewer will not tun consuming 50-100% of CPU doing nothing. The only solutions are to use Visual Studio 2005 OR to get a newer version/rebuild boost with Visual Studio 2008.
This problem is being worked on. Look here for updates: VWR-9541
===Express editions of Visual C++===
Express editions do not have some of the extra features that VSTool.exe requires, VSTool is a little application that sets a few default project options, like which project is the startup and which build configuration to use.
===LLKDU===
This is not present in the automated libs download but is required at least on windows by the copy_win_scrips script. The file is not actually needed for the viewer to run (if present it will be used for jpeg2000 decoding in preference to Openjpeg. The solution is to remove the lines from newview/copy_win_scripts that reference llkdu and this should then allow this custom build step to run without issue
=== [...]/CMakeDetermineCompilerABI_C.bin cannot be read. ===
Occurs on Windows 7, make sure your running the cmd shell (or whatever your using to run the "python develop.py") with Administrator privileges.
== fatal error C1060: compiler is out of heap space ==
If you are not using Incredibuild and have precompiled headers disabled, you may encounter this error.
Try enabling building with precompiled headers:
autobuild configure -c [configuration] -- -DUSE_PRECOMPILED_HEADERS:BOOL=ON
== Other (older) notes ==
* Mozilla is not compatible with visual studio 2005, so we have not migrated the codebase, so we do not know if it works. 
* Added my errors at User:Adam_Zaius/MSVS2005 Errors Adam Zaius 09:40, 8 January 2007 (PST)
* To minimize the number of warnings for now: in C/C++-Preprocessor add ';_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE' to the Preprocessor Definitions, that will supress deprecation warnings --Artm Udal 12:42, 8 January 2007 (PST)

Getting:

=== libGL ===
Sometimes the provide libGL.a can cause issues. To avoid linker errors, you may need to remove indra/libraries/i686-linux/release/libGL.a and indra/libraries/i686-linux/debug/libGL.a
=== Packaging errors ===
The final packaging step may fail with errors about the manifest if you are not using the slviewer-linux-libs bundle; in this case, if you still wish to end up with an end-user viewer package incorporating your own libraries, you can edit the manifest file found at indra/newview/viewer_manifest.py

* If the viewer just displays the error message " Unable to initialize communications" and exits, it can't find message_template.msg. You did remember to copy it over, right?
====Blino's SL build/linking patches for gcc4====
http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/secondlife/current/
====objcopy: 'newview/linux_tools/exposed-symbols.txt': No such file====
* Tofu says... 'This is an omission from our manifest which I'll fix. Meanwhile it's a safe fix to create an empty file with that name.'
====Something like: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz====
* Nadia says: Install the zlib development headers. (Ubuntu package zlib1g-dev, Red Hat zlib-devel.)
====Something like: indra.y.cpp:17: error: previous declaration of `int yyparse()'====
* Tofu says... 'This appears to be a problem with some versions of flex/bison. A resident reports success when comment out the #ifdef __cplusplus lines in lscript/lscript_compile/indra.y'
* Nadia says: install the zlib development headers first and try recompiling. Commenting out those lines results in a error indra.l:666: undefined
* Abi says: I forgot to install bison. Once I did that, problem solved.
====Linking failures ("script not found") due to spaces in the LINKFLAGS variable?====
* I saw a report, and modified the SConstruct file to drop the trailing arguments (and spaces) in LINKFLAGS.
====cp: target `SecondLife_i686_1_13_1_7/app_settings/*’ is not a directory====
Building 20070112a using BUILD=releasefordownload I get many [: 89: ==: unexpected operator errors; cp: target `SecondLife_i686_1_13_1_7/app_settings/*’ is not a directory error, and same thing for character, fonts, help, skins, res-sdl; [: 111: ==: unexpected operator, [: 120: SecondLife_i686_1_13_1_7.tar.bz2: unexpected operator. I can succesfully run the client from the source tree.
* i think this has been fixed --Signore Iredell 06:09, 9 June 2007 (PDT)
====`['.../lscript/lscript_compile/indra.l.cpp']': Don't know how to build a file with suffix `.l'====
scons: *** While building `['.../linden/indra/i686-linux-client-release/lscript/lscript_compile/indra.l.cpp']': Don't know how to build a file with suffix `.l'.
* You probably don't have all the dependencies installed (I had the same problem). Check that you have flex and bison. --Random73 Janus 07:43, 16 May 2007 (PDT)
====`glActiveTextureARB' was not declared in this scope====
Something like: linden/indra/i686-linux-client-release/llrender/llimagegl.cpp:122: error: `glActiveTextureARB' was not declared in this scope	 
* Tofu says... 'You'll need to install OpenGL headers if you don't already have them: gl.h, glext.h, glu.h (The ones from 'mesa' should work)	 
* two residents report good luck on Gentoo after doing 'eselect opengl set xorg-x11' (but note!! You must know what you're doing; this may change your default system OpenGL drivers, and you will probably want to change them back again after the compile, e.g. 'eselect opengl set nvidia')'
* Note that the above xorg-x11/nvidia issue is addressed in VWR-9557 which includes patches!
====Building Shared Library ELFIO====
 Building Shared Library ELFIO Compiling_the_viewer_%28Linux%29 on AMD64 ubuntu 6.10
 g++-3.4 -shared *.o -o libelfio.so
 /usr/bin/ld: ELFIDynamic.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can 
 not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
 ELFIDynamic.o: could not read symbols: Bad value'''
* I got around this with "export CXXFLAGS=-fPIC" before configuring ELFIO. 
====incompatible libopenjpeg.a when searching for -lopenjpeg====
 Building Client on Ubuntu 7.04 AMD64
 /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /home/dereck/Desktop/SLdev/linden/libraries/i686-linux/lib_release_client/libopenjpeg.a when searching for -lopenjpeg
 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lopenjpeg
 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
* I went to the OpenJPEG website, downloaded the source, compiled for my system, installed it. The VWR compile was happy after that. Although it's not done yet and I'm still fixing another error, that I assume is unrelated.
====C-Ares compatability issue.====
Compiling with c-ares version 1.5.1 got a compile error in llares.cpp:
linden/indra/x86_64-linux-client-release/llcommon/llares.cpp: In member function `void LLAres::getHostByName(const char*, LLAres::HostResponder*, int)':
linden/indra/x86_64-linux-client-release/llcommon/llares.cpp:147: error: invalid conversion from `void (*)(void*, int, hostent*)' to `void (*)(void*, int, int, hostent*)'
Fixed with patch from https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-3480
====memset used with constant zero length parameter====
Building with -t Release causes memset error in /usr/include/bits/string3.h:82
The error is "/usr/include/bits/string3.h:82: error: call to `__warn_memset_zero_len' declared with attribute warning: memset used with constant zero length parameter; this could be due to transposed parameters"
Patch: VWR-10001
====Boost errors in Snowglobe (GCC >= 4.3)====
Build stops with errors: "../libraries/include/boost/token_functions.hpp:338: error: suggest explicit braces to avoid ambiguous 'else'"
See SNOW-204
====Gentoo: undefined reference to `FT_Realloc'* from libpangoft2-1.0.so====
If you get an undefined reference to `FT_Realloc'* from libpangoft2-1.0.so, you might have to delete some bundled libraries. See here
