[Bf-committers] Re: chroot environment files for Linux compile (D.J. Capelis)

[Jacques Beaurain]

Hi,

I would also like to get access to the chroot environment, it may be
the perfect place to figure out all the issues with static linking and
CMake. Is it not maybe a good idea to start a tracker for it using
Bittorrent if a couple of people want to get it (even in its current
state, before you do the cleanup)?
