[openbeos] Re: haiku.image with developer tools and co

This is a consumer-oriented guy talking here, so if I'm missing something, it's ok to explain it to me. But why can't the optional packages just include built binaries? It doesn't add all *that* much to the download, and then they're ready to rock...without the need for a Linux'ey auto-build system on the user's PC.

Haiku's build system has a feature called optional packages, which will include additional software. Most of them will download one or more zip files from the internet (via wget). You can enable the optional packages you want in your build/jam/UserBuildConfig file, e.g.: 

        AddOptionalHaikuImagePackages Development Pe ;



the other is, beos have a nice makefile engine, have haiku gcc this too ?
(a jamfile-engine for apps are nice too :-) )



We don't have a makefile engine yet. I suppose we want one, though.
