Create the chroot system

mkdir staticBuilder
sudo debootstrap breezy staticBuilder/
sudo chroot staticBuilder/

apt-get update

Install GCC & co

apt-get install build-essential
apt-get install subversion
apt-get install automake

apt-get install libxft-dev
apt-get install libxrandr-dev
apt-get install libasound2-dev
apt-get install ladspa-sdk
