I am trying to follow the instructions at http://asharp.martincarlisle.com/ I'm failing at the step "Then at the sourceforge download site, you can get: mgnat.zip" The sourceforge site linked takes me to http://sourceforge.net/projects/asharp/, and the "View all files" link takes me to http://sourceforge.net/projects/asharp/files/, where I find and download mgnat20060606.zip I unzip that into a temporary directory, and the readme tells me "To register the DLLs: cd dll register_mgnat.bat" I don't know whether "This must be done using a UNIX shell, such as cygwin" or whether it should be done in a DOS shell, but either way I get an error that gacutil is not a recognised command. What am I missing? Hoping that that might not matter for now, I try the next step: To build compiler from sources: mgnat.exe, mgnatbind.exe, mgnatmake.exe, mgnatlink.exe (edit makefile to reflect your directory structure) cd src make mgnat I can't work out how to edit the makefile -- I've tried setting the paths to what I /think/ will be right when I make under Cygwin: BUILD_DIR = /cygdrive/c/GNAT/2009/mgnat DLL_DIR = /cygdrive/c/GNAT/2009/mgnat/dll DLL_DOS_DIR = /cygdrive/c/GNAT/2009\mgnat\dll # Directory inside which the MGNAT build is to take place. See the section # on "MGNAT Build Directory Organization" below. GNAT_DIR = /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/Ada/mgnat/src # Directory containing the GNAT sources ################################ # Makefile Optional Parameters # ################################ MGNAT_DIR = $(GNAT_DIR) # Directory containing the Ada, C and Java sources specific to MGNAT INSTALL_BASE = /cygdrive/c/GNAT/2009 # Directory where the MGNAT release is to be installed. If empty "/" is used. make mgnat fails with: 2 [main] make 3648 sig_send: wait for sig_complete event failed, signal 6, rc258, Win32 error 0 I have no idea what that means. I'm way out of my comfort zone using make and Cygwin -- is there an idiot's guide to getting A# installed under MS Windows (Version 7, if that makes a difference), or could somebody take me through this in small, simple steps, please? Or does this mean that I'm not smart enough to use A#?
