Thanks for the link -- found the right gcc there.

I do think that this page should be linked to *somewhere* -- presumably
on the dev page. It would seem to be needed for occasions like this!

I got the build jamming, but...:

This does seem to a problem. It failed trying to create MakeBootable,
because B_PARAMETER_EDITOR_TYPE doesn't exist in my DiskDeviceDefs.h.
Is there a good reason why the build doesn't just use its own headers,
as the correct ones are all there?
I guess I'll try just moving the standard boot/develop/headers aside,
and linking to the build versions. I'd rather install a built version
than download a current image.
Which brings up another question that I'll ask in advance(!):
Is there a way to install directly from an image file, rather than
dd'ing it to a USB stick? (Don't have a CD burner -- sorry to be
so out-of-date (:-/)
Also, something I haven't been able to understand from browsing: what
exactly is an 'anyboot' image? I gather from one post I found that it
has both raw and ISO images. The one I dowloaded a while back, though,
seems to be much the same size as a raw image, so what does than mean?
Thanks,
