Guest" To: GCC ML Content-Type: text/plain Message-Id: <1101513687.26204.17.camel@rogue.abyss2.demon.co.uk> Mime-Version: 1.0 Date: Sat, 27 Nov 2004 00:44:00 -0000 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-SW-Source: 2004-11/txt/msg01047.txt.bz2 Hi, I've just tried to build GCC-3.4.3 only for the Ada compiler, it won't even configure, leaving out the --enable-languages=ada flag doesn't bring the compiler in. I've tried going back to 3.4.2 and 3.4.1, same problems. I've just read through the ml archives and there is a thread about the contribution to the Ada compiler already. Has Robert Dewar given any info on the discussions he was going to hold at AdaCore? I can't see it on the list. I've asked before, but when can we expect to see a new free version of GNAT that includes *all* of the tools (there is http://gnat-asis.sourceforge.net)? It's been around 9 years since 3.15p and I haven't been able to build a 2.8.0 compiler for years (well I haven't tried with GCC-2.95.x). I can see that there are Ada programmers (besides myself) who need an Ada compiler, yet we're not getting anywhere (or don't seem to be). I can see this either being forked, or a new compiler being written to replace GNAT, which I don't relish the thought of, to be honest. Luke.
