We could put the buildtools as submodule into the haiku tree, jam scripts
could be adjusted, so if the user request a 64 bit build on 64 bit, it
would automatically check out the buildtools submodule and using that.
We can ofc. check for the host variable, if it isn’t Haiku, the build
scripts could try the best to set everything up accordingly.
This would mean extra complexity in the buildscripts, probably we don’t
want that because maintenance.''
According to PulkoMandy:
"Actually, that would be great, because currently if you want to build an
old version of Haiku, you have to “guess” which version of buildtools is
needed (by looking at commit dates). Would you mind creating a ticket on
the bugtracker for it?
It’s also possibly a nice easy beginner task for someone who wants to
write some bash scripts "
