Request: Please add net-dns/libidn-compat to the second life viewers

[ntheo1979]

Hello Paul. Would it be possible to add net-dns/libidn-compat as a dependency to Firestorm and the other viewers? It is necessary for voice to work. The package exists in two overlays: https://gpo.zugaina.org/net-dns/libidn-compat. Thank you.

Wine (sadly) is the safest choice, I would the suggest using the 64 bit slvoice.exe (using FSLinuxEnableWin64VoiceProxy debug)

And that is:

$ 7z e Phoenix-Firestorm-Releasex64-6-4-21-64531_Setup.exe SLVoice.exe

Thanks, I'll try that. Where should I put the SLVoice.exe file, though? Which was the working directory in the process above?

Actually there is a 32 bit (it looks like) binary already bundled in the linux tarball:

$ ls -l /opt/firestorm-bin/bin/win32/SLVoice.exe 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2383360 Jul 21  2021 /opt/firestorm-bin/bin/win32/SLVoice.exe
$ file /opt/firestorm-bin/bin/win32/SLVoice.exe 
/opt/firestorm-bin/bin/win32/SLVoice.exe: PE32 executable (GUI) Intel 80386 (stripped to external PDB), for MS Windows
$

However the one from the MSWin 64 bit FS installer seems to be 64 bit:

$ file SLVoice.exe 
SLVoice.exe: PE32+ executable (GUI) x86-64, for MS Windows

There is also a set of windows DLL's and certificate bundle in that directory which is all presumably needed.

The relevant code is in LLVivoxVoiceClient::startAndLaunchDaemon():

        std::string exe_path = gDirUtilp->getExecutableDir();
        // <FS:ND> On Linux the viewer can run SLVoice.exe through wine (https://www.winehq.org/)
        //gDirUtilp->append(exe_path, "SLVoice");
        if( !viewerUsesWineForVoice() )
            gDirUtilp->append(exe_path, "SLVoice"); // native version
        else
            gDirUtilp->append(exe_path, "win32/SLVoice.exe"); // use bundled win32 version
        // </FS:ND>

and:

            // vivox executable exists.  Build the command line and launch the daemon.
            LLProcess::Params params;

            // <FS:ND> On Linux the viewer can run SLVoice.exe through wine (https://www.winehq.org/)
            params.executable = exe_path;

            if( !viewerUsesWineForVoice() )
                params.executable = exe_path;
            else
            {
                params.executable = "wine";
                params.args.add( exe_path );
            }
            //</FS:ND>

We package both 32 and 64 Bit windows voice. I think this will only come with 6.5.3 (next release). You will then find a bin/win64 folder with 64 bit voice.

ls -1 bin/win*
bin/win32:
DbgHelp.dll
SLVoice.exe
ortp.dll
ortp.pdb
vivoxsdk.dll
vivoxsdk.lib
vivoxsdk.pdb
zlib1.dll

bin/win64:
DbgHelp.dll
SLVoice.exe
ortp_x64.dll
ortp_x64.pdb
vivoxsdk_x64.dll
vivoxsdk_x64.lib
vivoxsdk_x64.pdb
