RE: [ros-general] Compiling under Linux

[Walt Ogburn]

It's now working, with the following packages changed in the script:

	# BINUTILS=binutils-2.15.90-20040222-1-src.tar.gz
	BINUTILS=binutils-2.15.94-20050118-1-src.tar.gz
	# GCCCORE=gcc-core-3.4.1-20040711-1-src.tar.gz
	GCCCORE=gcc-core-3.4.2-20040916-1-src.tar.gz
	# GCCGPP=gcc-g++-3.4.1-20040711-1-src.tar.gz
	GCCGPP=gcc-g++-3.4.2-20040916-1-src.tar.gz

It turns out the script has an odd failure mode if one the gcc source
packages can't be found - it starts copying /* into
${BUILDBASE}/gcc.tmp/gcc.src!  Hence the 3.3 GB I found in gcc.tmp.

Thanks,
Walter
