Intermetrics X bindings and Gnat 3.09?

Intermetrics X bindings and Gnat 3.09?

[Scott Moody]

has anyone had experience compiling the x and motif
bindings under gnat 3.09?  I has informed that it
generates all sorts of errors from code that used to work under gnat 3.07.

A quick test on 3.09 reveales the following error:

xt-intrinsic.ads:447:05: warning: no more representation items for type
 "XtConvertArgRec" defined at line 198
xt-intrinsic.ads:2792:05: representation item appears too late

Is there a more recent version of the source??

Thanks

scott


ps.   is   x-ada@x.org    still working? It bounces for me.

I have managed to compile the bindings. I had the same error, but
I simply move the representation item from line 2792 up to just
below the point of the record declaration at line 204.

Hope that helps, I can let you have a copy of the source as I have
it if you need. As I have managed to get that to work with Gnat 3.09
on PC/Linux and SGI.

One problem I did have was with Seg Faults, caused with the pthreads
library from the binary distribution of Gnat 3.09 for Linux. This
problem doesn't seem to occur with the pthreads library from Gnat 3.08.
