+The AVR-Ada build script is designed to make it as easy as possible for beginners and experts alike to build the cross compiler for AVR-Ada. In the source package, avr-ada-1.2.1.tar.bz2, it is found in the "tools/build" folder.

 With the default values the build script will download the required files using wget and cvs then prepare the files and build the cross compiler without any interaction from the user. To invoke this behaviour simply create an empty directory that the script can use to save files and create temporary files in.
