I recently met Jörg Lachmann, the author of avrdude-gui who also lives here in Dresden.
We've been discussing the idea one of the users once had (I forgot whether it's been on avr-gcc-list, or maybe at avrfreaks.net) to integrate avrdude-gui with avrdude, rather than have it as a standalone utility. We agreed that this idea has some merit. Having to call an external utility to do the actual job is a nuisance anyway, let alone different problems between platforms. Also, by integrating it into the same source tree, the GUI could immediately pick up newly added devices from the config file, rather than playing catch-up with the base avrdude. Jörg mentioned that he'd take this occasion to rewrite the GUI using yet another toolkit from scratch, this times using fltk (see http://www.fltk.org/ ) as it appears fltk is comparably small. I think if we agree the integration is a Good Thing and should happen, we should also clean up the directory structure a bit. Right now, most of the stuff is just in the top-level directory, except for the texinfo documentation which is in doc/, unlike the man page which is not in doc/. ;-) Any opinions? -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
