I would highly recommend to use a Linux or FreeBSD based build environment 
and testing Haiku within VMWare. The "developer VMWare" image means you 
would be developing in Haiku, and this may give you too many irritations to 
your development process. Compiling in Linux is currently several orders 
faster than compiling in Haiku and this means you have shorter compile-test 
cycles. Booting Haiku inside VMWare is reasonably fast.

How to setup a Linux (Ubuntu) build environment is described here:
