I thought that "AVR" and "Arduino" are somehow synonyms. > The newer arduino versions require batik, so packages for batik have > to be finished first. > That requires xalan, so that has to be finished first. > And that requires java-cup which cannot be bootstrapped without > binaries. I see. CUP requires at least cup.jar and jflex.jar. jfex.jar uses jflex.jar... I took a quick look: Jflex 1.4.1's LexParse.java: https://github.com/jflex-de/jflex/blob/release_1_4_1/jflex/src/JFlex/LexParse.java was generated by CUPS v0.10.k. And if you download that: http://www2.cs.tum.edu/projects/cup/releases/ the 0.10.k's parser.java was generated by CUP v0.10k... And that doesn't look like it counts as source code: /** Production table. */ protected static final short _production_table[][] = unpackFromStrings(new String[] { "\000\153\000\002\002\004\000\002\055\002\000\002\003" + "\012\000\002\003\007\000\002\056\002\000\002\004\006" + "\000\002\004\003\000\002\005\004\000\002\005\003\000" + [..] Is it that what you meant by bootstrapping from binaries? It would be so simple, if one just wouldn't care ... Björn
