i believe that gcc 2.95.3 is the right compiler. OBOS uses JAM for its
build system and you should probably have some software for that as
well.
could someone with more experience please reply for David with a list
of the software tools required/useful for diving into the code base?
i would love to provide the info myself but i am simply to darn
ignorant still
