Setting things up on Windows
From OpenSimulator
1. Get and build the code
Much instruction on this is in the User Docs
2. Start programming
Okay, so you'll want an IDE. There are two choices on Windows, SharpDevelop or Visual C# 2008 (2005 would also be fine). Get one of these babies, and then load in the OpenSim.sln
Ha ha, only joking (but seriously, you could just go and edit the code with vi or emacs or something, it's all in the OpenSim directory). However, some people like to use an IDE. The best one on Linux is probably Monodevelop. You should be able to load the OpenSim.sln file sitting in the root OpenSim directory (as generated by prebuild.bat) using these.
