PostgreSQL Support

This page is dedicated to supply postgreSQL support within opensim. It describes all steps in the process, and what problems may arise. We will use linux as a startingpoint, but windoze-users should have no problems adapting it to their OS. First let's get ourselves a workspace... - Get monodevelop (your distro probably has a package for it, otherwise follow building instructions)

- Download the opensim-source into your monodevelop workspace-directory svn co http://opensimulator.org/svn/opensim/trunk opensim

- Modify the opensim/prebuild.sh file, so it creates a monodevelop-project, instead of a visual studio 2005 project Make sure that the last line reads: mono bin/Prebuild.exe /target monodev

- Prepare the project... sh prebuild.sh

- Build it... nant

- Do a test-run to see everything is working: mono workspace/opensim/bin/Opensim.exe

- Fire up monodevelop, and open OpenSim.mds

Now we have a working development environment to test, and write new code. Notice the opensim/OpenSim/Framework directory. It contains alot of important files. What we want to do is to copy as much code as possible from the working mysql-connector(which sucks under linux by the way, but that's a mysql-connector issue, and not a code-problem).
