I'm pleased to announce VTKAda version 6.0 free edition release 01/10/2013

[leonid.dulman]

VTKAda is Ada-2012  port to VTK (Visualization Toolkit by Kitware, Inc) and Qt5 application and UI framework by Nokia
VTK version 6.0.0), Qt version 5.1.1 open source and vtkc.dll,vtkc2.dll,qt5c.dll(libvtkc.so,libvtkc2.so,libqt5c.so) were built with Microsoft Visual Studio 2012  in Windows
and gcc  in Linux x86-64
Package was tested with gnat gpl 2012 ada compiler (-gnat12 option) in Windows 8  64bit,Debian 7 x86-64

As a role ADA is used in embeded systems, but with VTKADA(+QTADA) you can build any desktop applications with 
powerful 2D/3D rendering and imaging (games, animations, emulations) GUI, Database connection, server/client, Internet browsing and many others thinks.

Current state of VTKADA is 42064 procedures and function distributed in 672 packages. 135 examples.
All qtada examples are Qt5 applications.

Current state of QTADA  is 11925  procedures and function distributed in 324 packages.
There are many new packages and examples in this release.

VTKADA you can use without QTADA subsystem  
QTADA is ada port to Qt5 framework and can be used as independent system.

VTKAda and QtAda for Windows and Linux (Unix) free edition with prebuilt Qt 5.1 and VTK 6/0  are available from

have you considered to open this project and provide sources in the
public?

In a recent time I was exploring OCaml and its GUI status and I must say
that having Qt(5) in Ada is clear winner for the language.

However, it would be nice to have Qt5 bindings in Ada with either strong
support and/or as public project where more people can contribute.

What if one would like Qt5Ada on e.g. FreeBSD?

It's a pity that GUIs are not taken very seriously (except GtkAda)
within Ada community...even immature language like Rust has wxRust
project @github.


Sincerely,
Gour

If you think about the tools behind this link http://www.adaic.org/ada-resources/tools-libraries/ as listed here: http://www.adaic.org/ada-resources/tools-libraries/

then I must say that:

a) it's a dead link 

b) probably one-man show and

c) the project is neither transparent (public repo, community to
contribute etc.) nor company with strong support behind it

which means very risky to invest time & energy for real-world project in
it.

I didn't check all of them, but the ones I checked worked. Which ones
are you talking about?

> b) probably one-man show and
In the Ada world, we had some one-man contributions that have been
reliable and long-lasting.

The ones I checked are on SourceForge

If your informations were correct, yes, but they are not.

I agree, but, still, bus-factor 1 is always risky, especially for such
critical componenet as the whole GUI lib.

> The ones I checked are on SourceForge

Are you thinking about:

http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/qtada/wiki/QtAda

if yes, then I believe, seeing the name of Vadim Godunko, that the
project is now living at http://www.qtada.com/ with no current plan to
provide Qt5 support.

Please, dispell my doubts with relevant info!

For me at least this link is NSFW! (vtk6qt5.iso is there, but there are
regrettable pix below).

Eh. Just click on the link up there. It's a redirect. Dead site.
Just what Gour meant.

Seems that QtAda is unusable for real-word projects, right?
