Message-ID: <1mbocpr.1mawd5e4rfdb1N%csampson@inetworld.net> (raw)
After years of playing with Ada on my antique Mac G4 (desktop), I
decided to move to my much more modern MacBook Pro, running OS-X 10.7. I
downloaded what I think is the proper file from libre.adacore.com:
x86_64-Darwin. I also downloaded and installed Xquartz.
In a terminal window, I executed doinstall and followed instructions,
placing the GNAT files in folder Ada/GNAT. I changed my .bashrc to put
/Ada/GNAT at the head of PATH. I then followed the instructions for
"codesigning" gdb, I hope. I created a certificate that I named GDB.
After rebooting the machine, as instructed, I executed
codesign -f -a GDB /Ada/GNAT/bin/gdb
and was rewarded with the error message
GDB: unknown architecture name
Finally, trying to get a handle on where I stand, I executed (in a
terminal window)
gnatmake -g generate.adb
which gave me the message
Illegal instruction: 4
Any ideas? The last message makes me think that my MacBook has only a
32-bit bus and it's trying to execute an instruction unique to 64-bit
machines. I've poked around System Profiler and see nothing about bus
width.

But you moved your goods on roads we all paid for. You hired workers we
all paid to educate. So keep a big hunk of the money from your factory.
