Creating a release version

Needed tools

To create a release version like the ones available for download, you need to have the following tools:

For Linux

  • zip. It comes in most distributions, e.g. for Debian or Ubuntu use sudo apt-get install zip; if it isn't available in yours, try this link: http://www.info-zip.org/Zip.html#Downloads
  • Python 2.7. It comes in most distributions, e.g. for Debian or Ubuntu use sudo apt-get install python; if it isn't available in yours, try this link: https://www.python.org/downloads/. Important: Python 3.x won't work; only Python 2.x will. Usually Python 2 and Python 3 can be installed side-by-side.
  • make. It comes in most distributions, e.g. for Debian or Ubuntu use sudo apt-get install make; if it isn't available in yours, try this link: https://www.gnu.org/software/make/#download
  • GNU cpp. It comes in most distributions, e.g. for Debian or Ubuntu use sudo apt-get install cpp. If it isn't available in yours, or you have trouble installing it, you can instead use mcpp, which is much more lightweight and is included in most distributions. It is also available at this link: http://mcpp.sourceforge.net/download.html.
  • LSL-PyOptimizer. Currently the latest master branch is used to create the releases, which you can download by clicking on "Clone or Download" in the top right of the linked page.

For Mac OS/X

  • zip (comes preinstalled)
  • Python 2.7 (comes preinstalled) Important: Python 3.x won't work; only Python 2.x will.
  • make - It comes as part of Xcode which you can get for free from the App Store.
  • mcpp. There's a DMG for download.
  • LSL-PyOptimizer. Currently the latest master branch is used to create the releases, which you can download by clicking on "Clone or Download" in the top right of the linked page.

For Windows

  • zip
  • Python 2.7 Important: Python 3.x won't work; only Python 2.x will.
  • make
  • mcpp
  • LSL-PyOptimizer. Currently the latest master branch is used to create the releases, which you can download by clicking on "Clone or Download" in the top right of the linked page.

Creating the release

Once you have the required tools, edit the Makefile in the AVsitter2 folder to suit your needs, then using a terminal (also called command interpreter, shell, console... depending on the operating system) change to that folder using cd <path-to-folder> and type make. That should generate a file called AVsitter2.zip with the packaged version for SL, and another file called AVsitter2-oss.zip with the packaged version for OpenSim.

If you only want the Second Life optimized scripts without zipping them, use make optimized. The optimized files will have an .lslo extension, and they are ready to be copied and pasted each into a Second Life script.

If you only want the OpenSim scripts without zipping them, use make opensim. The OpenSim files will have an .oss extension.

If you only want the SL zip, use make AVsitter2.zip; if you only want the OS zip, use make AVsitter2-oss.zip.

If you want to remove the optimized scripts and the zip files, use make clean (you can regenerate them at any time by typing make).
