Installed binary kit GNAT ( gcc-2.7 ) from NYU. Note, this is a Windoze build, not Cygwin (AFAIK). Point $CC and $CXX at the GNAT gcc, also put that dir at the head of my $PATH. Try running configure & make bootstrap for gcc-3.2-1. I'm not totally surprised that it failed, however I /am/ surprised at how and where. The 'C' and 'C++' and 'F77' builds went pretty well. However, the Ada test in configure ( Testing whether gcc understands Ada .... no ). failed. My first thought was "of course, it doesn't unerstand Cygwin paths." But, if that were true it should have failed completely on C, C++, and F77 as well. SO, if Dockeen, or anyone, can point me in the direction of creating a bootstrap GNAT it would be greatly appreciated. TIA -- David A.
