Could you try the safer install path: - BeOS R5 PE (from http://bebits.com/app/2680) - Whatever driver you need to access Internet from BeOS - BeOS DevTools (from http://bebits.com/app/2680) - BONE (from wherever you get it ;-)) - Gcc 2.95.3-beos-041202 (from http://bebits.com/app/4011) I'm not confident about Max PE, maybe others could help you. > > the network stack in Haiku itself, instead of R5? > > > > Sure, the turnaround times will just be a little longer.

Please don't do that (in BeOS coders lingua, we say B_DONT_DO_THAT!). Haiku SVN already have a haiku/buildtools tree that contains the right 2.95.3 Gcc version already patched for crosscompiling for BeOS platforms. The file at haiku/haiku/trunk/ReadMe explain how to build/develop on Haiku from Linux. Check it at http://svn.berlios.de/viewcvs/haiku/haiku/trunk/ReadMe?rev=15384&view=markup. When followed, these instructions works fine. - Philippe Houdoin.
