Porting SecondLife to Linux/PowerPC

A few days ago Linden Labs released the client Software of Second Life under the GPL 2. Previously, Linux PowerPC users lucked out as binaries were not available for Linux users on platforms that were not x86.

Until now :)

Here is a short screenshot of what i’ve done - only one part of the source code broke while building (and looking at how they did it for Darwin/PPC fixed it, no brainer). Ill publish my bzr tree and pre-built binaries for testing once I get a decent release build :)
