Building sources howto

[Begasus]

I’ve been asked many times to write up on how I work on the recipe for haikuports. So I started out with some basic information I’m gathering.
I know a lot of information for writing recipes is already available at haikuports wiki pages.
But sometime you need to know if it builds even before starting to write a recipe, that’s what I’m trying to collect now (wip so don’t shoot), suggestions welcome
