Re: [ros-general] Important News and Updates

Maybe someone could create something similar to RosBE for Linux.

I remember that the LFS project (Linux From Scratch) first builds a
temporary system. This system only contains compiler tools in the right
version.
When this temporary system was finished, you could easily switch to it with
the command "chroot" and use these compiler tools.
This works on every Linux distribution.

You can read more about it in the LFS manual:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/6.1.1/ (chapter 5)

It would be nice if someone could create such a build environment for Linux,
which works with every distribution and just needs a "chroot" command to be
started.
Otherwise I could try it as well, when I have more time.

Regards,

Colin
