Hi everyone,

i experimented a bit with newer compiler settings/compilers to make it easier to build the viewer with recent changes.

Hmm... Beware ! I see you removed -msse2 and replaced it with -msse3... The LLVector4a class, introduced for meshes, makes specific use of SSE2 (and is optimized for), so I'm not sure how gcc deals with it without the -msse2 option (the latter may actually be implied by -march=core2, depending on the gcc version)... Better keeping -msse2 together with -msse3 anyway...

-mssse3 is including -msse2. Its just the SSE variety supported by core2, so this should be safe.

There seems to be no reason to not use it, when all CPUs of that class support it (especially as Apples CPU list is fairly short, so no AMD or weird intel marketing downsizing issues, e.g. i3 supporting AES encryption in hardware, while i5 and i7 did not, but Xeons did for some series)

Hi kathrine, I logged on with the 1.26.8.3test build for several hours and it seems fine so far.

I'm using 10.8.3 on a MBP with the 3.06 ghz core 2 duo chip and 8gb of ram

I've been using the test build for about a week now and it has run pretty well for me.

I stopped using the 'Stable' branch before it went from .6 to .8 because it tended to crash a lot for me, especially when there were more avatars around. This test build does the same. (I normally stick with the Legacy branch as it doesn't give me the crashing problems.)

Anyways, I'd say this test build is at least as stable as the 'Stable' branch has ever been on my iMac, perhaps more so.

FWIW I'm using a 2009 iMac with a 3GHz Core 2 Duo, I have 12GB Ram, and am running 10.6.8. The main weakspot in my computer is the GPU, which is a Radeon HD4670 with only 256MB Ram. And I'm probably stressing it a bit further by running dual screens; the 21" built-in and a 19" secondary.

Cheers!

Just downloaded the latest legacy Mac build (1.26.4.72): it won't launch. I could get the error message, it says:
Code:
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libxml2.2.dylib
  Referenced from: […]/CoolVLViewer126472.app/Contents/MacOS/Cool VL Viewer
  Reason: Incompatible library version: Cool VL Viewer requires version 10.0.0 or later, but libxml2.2.dylib provides version 9.0.0
Trace/BPT trap

I'm on a 2009 MBP, but still on Leopard (10.5) which might probably be the issue here. If there's any way to solve that, please let me know. If there isn't, well, I can live with the last version I have that works, until I have to change my Mac (it's dying anyway…).

That shouldn't happen with deployment target 10.5 set, might be a side effect of the newer Boost Libraries that need the 10.6 SDK.

You could try and link the viewer against the old v1.48 MacOS-X boost library... it might work. Just change the download link for it in install.xml, using the old link (and md5sum) for v1.48.

Hello, Please pardon me if I'm asking a question that has already been answered. I finally updated to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard and have not had voice ever since. I'm just getting my feet wet with this OS, what do I need to reset to get voice?

Hello,

I've tried the experimental version CoolVLViewer126916 on a Mac Pro with Lion 10.7.5, and it crashes on startup :

I've deleted preferences and cache files prior to launch the viewer.

Thank you

Looks like it's a known problem, see here: http://sldev.free.fr/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1266
