[Bf-taskforce25] Getting started...

[Nicholas Bishop]

Well, he already said he'd prefer not to use scons. (Also, r18184
won't make any difference, that's a different branch.)

I'm having the same problem myself; at the moment I'm using an old
computer for compiling Blender, and I'd like to be able to build 2.5
using CMake, which is somewhat faster.

Jim, I'm getting similar errors using gcc in Ubuntu. I'm fairly sure
that the missing definitions aren't in any external library, so
perhaps they're supposed to be dynamically generated? I'm still
investigating, I'll let you know if I figure anything out.
