I am interested in preservation, that requires being able to build everything from sources. This repository is literally a collection of non-source files.

Then I don't understand what you are looking for. You want to build it from source "without Euphoria". There are dozens of pre-translated C files in the link not only binaries.

Then I will try to explain it again: one must be able to build everything from source. The pre-translated C files will break from one major version to another of Debian/Ubuntu (as they regularly do), so they are useless for preservation purposes.

This means that for maximum portability one needs:

  • build the pre-translated C files without Euphoria
  • build Euphoria using the pre-translated C files from previous step

No binary version of anything used at any time.
