How is Ada supposed to be built?
I don't have Gnat(s) in my system.

You need GNAT to build GNAT, just like you need a C compiler to build
gcc.  There are several binary version of GNAT that you can download
from several sites that you can use to bootstrap.

Thanks. I'll get that, then

The option is --force, but there is some risk.

Red Hat 7.x is really old at this point, I'm not sure you'll
succeed in completing the process Ada-wise.

    I tried that RPM for gnat 3.15 and it wants binutils 2.9 and well I
built a binary version of binutils 2.16 with a 3.4.6 compiler. So RPM
doesn't know binutils is installed. So what I need to do is force RPM to
install this .rpm by overriding it's checking for dependancies. Would anyone
happen to know what switches to use? The man I have on my RPM is pretty
cryptic. I know this is a little OT.

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

[Bill Cunningham]

    Are there any special switches or options needed to compile the ada
package with the core gcc? I add the C++ libraries and they compile right
along with the core. I've tried --enable-languages=c,c++,ada too and that
doesn't do the ada libraries.
