The gnat-2005 port is doing just fine, but it builds the GPL-ed version. There was no Ada frontend in any FreeBSD GCC port as far as I can tell. Perhaps it's not stable enough? If you decide to build it on your own, listen to the people here, check the gnat-2005 port for some bootstraping tricks, and don't forget to share your experience. Otherwise you can always 'cd /usr/ports/lang/gnat ; make install clean' and worry about the details later. -- Regards, Karel Miklav
