Hi Anton,

I answered in a previous (private) thread, that was CCed to me from 
Brian Dean.

Sorry the website hasn't been updated recently. We need to do that....

The list of packages used is in the WinAVR user manual.... but I guess 
if you don't have Windows, then you wouldn't be able to easily find that?

From memory:
binutils 2.15
gcc 3.4.3
avr-libc 1.2.3
avrdude latest CVS
uisp - latest release (I can't remember the date code at the moment)
Insight - 6.1
avarice - latest release (I think it's 2.3)
simulavr - latest release (of simulavr, not simulavrxx)
SRecord - 1.21

There are patches for binutils and gcc and IIRC Insight. I'll have to 
get those to you on Monday. Unless somebody else on the list is willing 
to package them up from their release; the patches are in the 
<install>\source directory of the WinAVR installation. Note, that some 
of those patches won't be required for a Linux install. For example the 
COFF patch for binutils is really only needed on Windows because of 
debugging with Atmel's AVR Studio (which only runs on Windows). IIRC, 
the patch for Insight was to get it to build on Cygwin, so it is 
probably not needed for a Linux build. One thing that you will want to 
include is Joerg Wunsch's patch to add the ability to parse binary 
constants; that's a nice extension to gcc.
