If you're looking for a single-system development platform that will allow you to produce both Linux and FreeBSD binaries, you're much better off running FreeBSD with the Linux binary compatability and Linux crossdevelopment packages installed. I use both of these quite heavily, and would be happy to talk you through getting yourself set up. > I have limited access to a FreeBSD 3.0 sytem, so if I need libraries, > header files and includes I could get them that way, but it is a real > hassle so I'm hoping I don't need too much. Your biggest problem would be building the toolchain, as the GNU tools don't correctly support the FreeBSD environment. (This is only partly the GNU peoples' fault.)
