I installed OS X 10.5.4 on a spare disk. I downloaded from sourceforuge the 2007-tiger-ppc compiler dated January 12, 2008 and put it in /opt. I tried to compile a hello world and failed. Here is what happened: jb$ /opt/gnat-gpl-2007/bin/gnatmake /Volumes/HD0/hello.adb gcc -c -I/Volumes/HD0/ -I- /Volumes/HD0/hello.adb gnatbind -x hello.ali gnatlink hello.ali can't find atom for N_GSYM stabs system__standard_library__constraint_error_def:G(0,16)=3DB(0,17)=3Dxssystem= __standard_library__exception_data: in /opt/gnat-gpl-2007/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin8.11.0/4.1.3/adalib/ libgnat.a(s-stalib.o) There are 10 more lines that start with "can't find atom." Any idea on what to do next? I'm going to be also bothering the macada list about this, which raises the question, If I succeed in getting a compiler somehow, will the Xcode plugin from macada still work if I don't use a macada compiler?
