Yes.
You need to have gcc-powerpc-wrs-vxworks installed because part of the build process is building wpilib on linux. This is built with frcmake et al, so you need to have all of that installed. I didn't want to have the build process install things halfway through/have to run as root, so I just made it a predependency.
Since the linux binaries work and are relatively stable, I don't see this as a big problem. Additionally, building from source under linux is now (relatively) easy - no more patching and crap, and the everything is documented.
