[OmniOS-discuss] Building OmniOS master branch

[Dan Vatca]

Trying to build master led me to another error when building extra tools
while running bloody. This error was due to the fact that the tools are
compiled using headers from master illumos-omnios, while linking agains the
system installed libc. And this got me thinking if I am running the latest
bloody.
So I went do download the latest bloody iso, and on the web site there is a
little problem: the OmniOS_Text_bloody_20140723.iso does not install
the omnios-8e364a8 as written above.
Is there a new "bloody" text-install iso that is not yet uploaded?
I upgraded after installing the one that's available, and now I can build
bloody. This was another part of the answer to my question :)
