In this case you might want to ship gcc 4.3.x together with your package, build it first, and then compile the firmware. Note that version 3 source packages may be built from multiple archive files, which should simplify packaging quite a bit. > When I say patch up the release, I mean I am going to have to apply lots > of patches to many files to make the lejos nxj package it work under > Debian. > You might want to speak to upstream to get the package cleaned up. It seems to me that the resulting Debian package will be a lot cleaner as it will have the complete tool chain to build the package and not contain lots of duplicated code. Sure, this is not the easiest thing to achieve, but it seems worthwhile. Best, Michael
