We'll need to move to building linux distribution specific build to fix
issues with shared library dependencies, so it's even more platforms.
Which ones specifically? Does Ubuntu and Fedora suffice or are there
others that need to be included?

I think a good solution would be to prepare clean virtualbox images that
are used for building.
I crashed my system so I had to start over with a fresh
installation/configuration. The following images are installed within
VirtualBox:
OS X 10.9
Ubuntu 12.04
Fedora 19
FreeBSD 9.2
Windows 7 [1]
All images are 64 bits and allotted 20.00 GB fixed storage, 32 MB Video
Memory, and enabled Bridge network adapter. The base system is currently
a MacMini running OSX 10.9 but will be upgraded to a Mac Pro in the near
future. Are there any other OS's that should be included?
Not sure what the correct configuration should be but I do know that, at
my current level of expertise, configuring them can be a pain in the
arse.... Are there any scripts available to configure/secure these
operating systems? Any suggestions regarding configuration to eliminate
problems during build process?
[1] There is not yet a windows image installed as I do not have an
installation CD.
Thanks,
Andrew
