Keep the training material related in some way to OSGrid and OpenSIM or tools that you would use externally to opensim such as image editors and database tools etc... but ultimately the material presented benefits OpenSIM and OSGrid.

I can't help with your specific problem, but maybe I can point to some reason why you may not be getting where you want. First a little background:

I'm a Linux user and compiled an entire 64 bit operating system from sources with the sole intention of compiling a native Linux 64 bit viewer. By comparison, building the OS from sources was easy compared with actually building a viewer (I still haven't managed it, though in my defence, I gave up at approx 80% successful build).

Part of the problems you will hit are due to the reliance on Linden libraries and supporting libraries. If you don;t have the correct versions, or if you are missing a supporting library your build will fail. It is also helpful to have at least some experience of compiling programs and troubleshooting problems when (rather than "if") they arise.

Whilst I appreciate that you have some experience compiling programs (I'm assuming that you used compiled, rather than interpreted QBasic) the C#. C++ etc compilers are less forgiving that any basic compilers out there, and because of the way C and its' descendants work, you have to be certain that your build environment is properly set up. I would recommend cutting your teeth on something less ambitious to give yourself a basic grounding in compiling from source, and then come back to a viewer.

As it happens, my own efforts were thwarted because the Linden libs are native 32 bit, with no 64 bit libraries available. Short of rebuilding everything LL has done I will remain stuck at 80%. Your problems, especially on Windows, are not likely to be as severe, and just a little hands on experience will go a long way.
