Hi

I would like to us knoppix to do some development. I am making a half-life2 modification and I need to compile the .so libs for linux dedicated servers. I have knoppix 2.6 and 2.7 and can use either. The reason I am trying this is because knoppix is the only linux that detected all my hardware and even allows me to get on the internet with no problem which says alot for the distro.

So my question is can I do this?

GCC 3.4.1 or above ( http://gcc.gnu.org ).
Xerces XML parser 2.6.0 or above ( http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c/ ).
GLIBC 2.3.2 or above.

I need those 3 exact programs to compile I would like to use those exact versions because people have said newer ones dont compile the code cause valve cant seem to keep things compliant. I would first like some advice should I try to get them installed on a home dir I have already placed on my computer and get that to work or should I try to build a new knoppix CD with those things installed (that would be cool cause I could offer it to other HL2 modders who are not good with linux like me), on the other hand it may be over my head and just not something I can pull off. Or is this whole project just not going to work with knoppix?
