And honestly, I would rather that avrdude got rid of those shortcut aliases, as it just confuses the end user. I would rather that it accepts the full lowercase name like avr-gcc, and possibly the full canonical (mixed case) name. It's not like these device names are incredibly long that they need to be abbreviated. _______________________________________________ Simulavr-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/simulavr-devel
