The easiest way is to use apt package to install development environment.

1. $ wget ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/a/apt/apt_\*_hurd-i386.deb
2. # dpkg -i apt_*_hurd-i386.deb
3. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list to contain (use ae editor, i'm not sure if vi
   is installed by default)
 
   deb ftp://alpha.gnu.org/pub/gnu/hurd/debian unstable main
   deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
   deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
   
   Notice that the last line is only needed when you want to get sources
   via apt-get.  And this is the U.S. mirror - you can use your Debian
   mirror instead
4. # apt-get update
5. # apt-get upgrade
6. # apt-get install mig gcc hurd-dev gnumach-dev
   (i'm not sure if this is sufficient)
