It is just as simple as setting up a Makefile. I've been doing it for the last 2 years. 971's code for 2009 and 2010 has been developed under Linux, compiled under Linux, and downloaded from Linux, using Makefiles. I can check out our repository from any linux machine (provided it has some basic tools), type make, and it'll do everything that it needs to do to build the code. I'll repeat my offer from up above. If anyone wants a little help getting started developing using Linux, send me a PM, or start a thread.
