Copying the R5 tools is OK for the time being. I also don't think we'll ever integrate the binutils/GCC build into the image creation process. We'll probably provide a script to build the tools for Haiku and add an option to our build system to copy the respective files to the image. > Also, I've found that the Haiku public POSIX headers don't seem to be > complete-enough to build R5-targetted stuff quite yet (jam for example) from > within Haiku - so I've been using the R5 headers from my BeOS Max edition > instead. Please don't forget to file a bug report, if you encounter those. :-) CU, Ingo
