Re: Ada

[Laurent GUERBY <laurent@guerby.net>]

Hi Bill,

You need to have a previous version of GCC with Ada enabled
to be able to compile Ada since the Ada front-end is written in Ada. 

It is likely that your configure log has a failure for the following
checks:

checking for gnatbind... gnatbind
checking whether compiler driver understands Ada... yes

If you're running Linux, your distribution most probably
has a separate package for the Ada part of the GCC compiler, 
you have to install it first.

On SUSE 9.3 the packages are named:

gnat-runtime-3.3.5-5
gnat-3.3.5-5

On Ubuntu they are named: 

gnat-4.0
libgnat-4.0 

Hope this helps,

Laurent
