Compiling opensim on ubuntu/debian: what is needed

Ok, this is going to be a slamdunk pile of unsorted noise, but hopefully you will find it helpful at least to some extent, if you plan to build the opensim on debian/ubuntu. If not, you do not need to read the rest of this post - will be rather useless.

When/if anyone gets something more edible - please put it on the OpenSim wiki.

Here we go. First the IRC chat log with the rough instructions on what minimum to install.

Disclaimer: YMMV.

(03:06:10) danx0r: for the record: kubuntu 7.04
(03:06:17) danx0r: install mono
(03:06:32) danx0r: install everything that has "mono" and "microsoft" (3 libs I think)
(03:06:38) danx0r: install gmcs of course
(03:07:18) danx0r: and system2.0
(03:07:31) dalien: then it builds ?
(03:07:35) danx0r: yup
(03:08:03) dalien: hm ok. want to put it on wiki ? or i can just slamdunk the irclog onto my blog
(03:08:18) dalien: and then when someone comes up with a prettier doc - then we can have it on wiki
(03:08:28) dalien: since this is still a "hacker version" :)
(03:08:37) danx0r: it's even running
(03:08:42) danx0r: yes
(03:08:52) danx0r: it's particular to my version of ubuntu and adept
(03:08:57) danx0r: but it's likely to be useful
(03:09:02) dalien: yeah. i will post all the disclaimers.


Now, goes the wholesale list of the packages installed on my system, where I've just successfully built the r1641 (warning: there is a lot of useless irrelevant unnecessary stuff in there, this is provided for your reference *only*):
