Understood - I do recall reading that before :)

So, it looks like there is a new dependency, ArduinoOTA (
https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/tree/master/libraries/ArduinoOTA) that
would need to be built.  Should the ant script be modified to do this?

 I'm also no Java expert either, any help is welcome :)


The good news is that 1.8.9 (and the upcoming 1.8.10) builds from source
without issue after removing the pre-built gcc and avr binaries.  It still
uploaded a blink sketch, so hopefully I removed the pre-built binaries
correctly :D  Next step, I think, is to bring everything into the debian
package framework.  I'll let you know if I make any progress, there.

Best regards,
Kashif
