Well, we have had some of this discussion on the haiku-web mailing list.
The "Getting and Building the Haiku Source Code" has sections that are R5
specific, and I was thinking about how to make it more platform independent.
I was wondering if this should be generic and point elsewhere on specific
points (i.e. "cross-compiler", "installing to a directory/partition") Seems
like svn and most of the jam instructions would be the same. The other
option is to maintain copies for each platform (R5, Linux, Haiku) which
would involve folding in the other documents. We are also in the need of a
"Setting up for Haiku Development" document which should describe the
different platform options and recommend how to set up for them. This would
include recommendations on partitions, directory structure
(/develop/haiku/haiku/??), tools, information sources, etc.
