Hello, while running the py script tonight I ran into this error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "./toolchain-m68k", line 623, in globals()[action].call(_args.args) File "./toolchain-m68k", line 206, in build fetch(name, url) File "/Users/akiko/packages/amigaos-cross-toolchain/common.py", line 37, in wrapper return fn(_args, _kwargs) File "/Users/akiko/packages/amigaos-cross-toolchain/common.py", line 350, in wrapper fn(_args, _kwargs) File "/Users/akiko/packages/amigaos-cross-toolchain/common.py", line 369, in fetch download(url, name) File "/Users/akiko/packages/amigaos-cross-toolchain/common.py", line 37, in wrapper return fn(_args, _kwargs) File "/Users/akiko/packages/amigaos-cross-toolchain/common.py", line 232, in download u = urllib2.urlopen(url) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 154, in urlopen return opener.open(url, data, timeout) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 437, in open response = meth(req, response) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 550, in http_response 'http', request, response, code, msg, hdrs) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 475, in error return self._call_chain(_args) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 409, in _call_chain result = func(args) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 558, in http_error_default raise HTTPError(req.get_full_url(), code, msg, hdrs, fp) urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 410: Gone

Seems the flex tar is gone from the source page (http://fossies.org/linux/misc/old/index_a.html). Maybe it's temporary, maybe not. To fix it, I've patched it locally by replacing the line 25 and 26 with:

'http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/flex/flex-2.6.0.tar.bz2',

and later in code, line 597 with:

flex='flex-2.6.0',

Seems the build works ok now. Thanks a bunch for this repository, great work!

You can also simply modify the flexcat download URL using the following diff

diff --git a/toolchain-m68k b/toolchain-m68k
