Outdated
| - 64GB hard drive space | ||

| It is recommended that you use a virtual machine for compiling, ensuring the guest can meet the hardware requirements. | ||
| If you are using a newer version of Linux, you may need to make sure you're still using gcc 11, as Aperture may not compile with newer versions of gcc. |

Kernel: Linux 6.12.21-gentoo-x86_64
GCC Version: gcc (Gentoo 14.2.1_p20241221 p7) 14.2.1 20241221
Adding set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -Wno-error=nonnull -Wno-error=maybe-uninitialized") to indra/cmake/00-Common.cmake I was able to successfully compile

confirmed, works for me. Are we okay with disabling a compiler warning?

📝 Pull Request Description & Purpose
This PR contains fixes (including documentation) to get Aperture viewer building on (Ubuntu) Linux.
There are a bunch of minor adjustments needed, mainly around changing the "firestorm" name everywhere, and a couple of small code adjustments.
Where possible I've taken the (windows) defaults for settings as they seem to work for me.
I have not used the Windows build so can't compare performance/visuals, but it works well for me, performance is comparable to other viewers I use.
Known Issues
These are annoying, but I figured it's more important to get a version that works at all for people to test than spend ages fixing these.
🧪 Testing Done
I have built it using an Ubuntu 22.04 virtual machine, both with and without (optional) fmodstudio.
I have used it as my daily SL client over a few days, ten hours or so, just going to music streaming places, shopping, and taking photographs.
My PC is Intel based, with 64G RAM and an Nvidia RTX3080 graphics card. I use Ubuntu 24.04.
I have NOT tested that the resulting code still builds correctly on Windows or MacOS as I do not currently have access to those. I don't believe there's any change that would affect them. I have not tested voice.
