Compiling ScummVM with GCC under BeOS

As ScummVM is relying on a BONE version you need the BONE network stack (ZETA and Haiku) version for BeOS to compile (needs libbind and libsocket).

For Haiku there is already a version available in the HaikuDepot, latest versions can be build with haikuporter out of the box, a recipe for version 1.8.1 is at this moment in waiting line to get approved into the haikuports repo at github. For instructions how to install haikuporter/haikuports look at Haikuports, Haiku comes with a recent gcc5 version that is able to build ScummVM out of the box.
