**[Second Life][] is a free 3D virtual world where users can create, connect and chat with others from around the world.** This repository contains a fork of the source code for the official client. ## Open Source Second Life provides a huge variety of tools for expression, content creation, socialization and play. Its vibrancy is only possible because of input and contributions from its residents. The client codebase has been open source since 2007 and is available under the LGPL license. The [Open Source Portal][] contains additional information about Linden Lab's open source history and projects. ## Download Most people use a pre-built viewer release to access Second Life. macOS, GNU/Linux and FreeBSD builds are [published on the official website][download]. More experimental viewers, such as release candidates and project viewers, are detailed on the same page. ### Third Party Viewer As a third party maintained fork, which includes Apple Silicon native builds, Megapahit viewer is indexed in the [Third Party Viewer Directory][tpv]. ## Build Instructions ``` $ cd viewer $ git remote add megapahit git://megapahit.org/viewer.git $ git fetch megapahit $ git checkout megapahit/main $ git switch -c megapahit ``` ### macOS ``` $ mkdir -p build/universal-apple-darwin`uname -r`/packages $ cd ~/Downloads $ curl -OL https://github.com/secondlife/3p-curl/releases/download/v7.54.1-513145c/curl-7.54.1-513145c-darwin64-513145c.tar.zst -OL https://megapahit.net/downloads/dullahan-1.14.0.202312131437_118.7.1_g99817d2_chromium-118.0.5993.119-darwinuniversal-233471337.tar.bz2 -OL https://github.com/secondlife/3p-emoji-shortcodes/releases/download/v6.1.0.5413f58/emoji_shortcodes-6.1.0.5413f58-darwin64-5413f58.tar.zst -OL https://github.com/secondlife/3p-glh_linear/releases/download/v1.0.1-dev4-984c397/glh_linear-1.0.1-dev4-common-984c397.tar.zst -OL https://github.com/secondlife/llca/releases/download/v202402012004.0-0f5d9c3/llca-202402012004.0-common-0f5d9c3.tar.zst -L https://github.com/zeux/meshoptimizer/archive/refs/tags/v0.21.tar.gz -o meshoptimizer-0.21.tar.gz -OL https://github.com/secondlife/3p-mikktspace/releases/download/v2-e967e1b/mikktspace-1-darwin64-8756084692.tar.zst -OL https://automated-builds-secondlife-com.s3.amazonaws.com/ct2/115452/994130/nanosvg-2022.09.27-darwin64-580364.tar.bz2 -OL https://github.com/secondlife/3p-openssl/releases/download/v1.1.1q.de53f55/openssl-1.1.1q.de53f55-darwin64-de53f55.tar.zst -OL https://github.com/secondlife/3p-tinyexr/releases/download/v1.0.8-ba4bc64/tinyexr-v1.0.8-common-9373975608.tar.zst -OL https://github.com/secondlife/3p-tinygltf/releases/download/v2.5.0-1ae57fd/tinygltf-v2.5.0-common-1ae57fd.tar.zst -OL https://github.com/secondlife/3p-viewer-fonts/releases/download/v1.0.0-r1/viewer_fonts-1.0.0.8512067490-common-8512067490.tar.zst -OL https://sourceforge.net/projects/xmlrpc-epi/files/xmlrpc-epi-base/0.54.2/xmlrpc-epi-0.54.2.tar.bz2 $ cd -
