 The CommonProblems page lists a number of common problems encountered when porting applications to BeOS.

+== Haiku OS tipps ==
+
+=== gcc 2.x (default) ===
+When building your own Haiku image, you can add
+{{{
+AddOptionalHaikuImagePackages Development ;
+}}}
+to your {{{build/jam/UserBuildConfig}}} file. This sets up a development environment and unzips a small tree of ready-to-use binary tools onto your image, including a Haiku-specific gcc2, [wiki:dev-lang/perl Perl] and autotools. Other helpful packages are {{{OpenSSL}}} and the {{{Pe}}} text editor (which allows you to jump to the line of an error message).
+
+Most software cannot handle {{{i586-pc-haiku}}} yet, so it is usually necessary to {{{configure}}} with {{{--build=i586-pc-beos}}}.
+
+=== gcc 4.x ===
+A native development environment is not yet available for gcc4-based Haiku; the cross-compiler can be used instead.
+
+A [http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/1844 shell script] to aid in this is available for use with autotools based software.
