GNAT 2016 and PolyORB

GNAT 2016 and PolyORB

[dontspam365]

Hi
I just downloaded GNAT2016 (free version) - and I can't easily find PolyORB. The download for 2015 refer me to 2014 version. Is PolyORB not offered in the free GNAT version anymore?

My understanding is that PolyORB has been built into GNAT since at least 2014; however, it would be good to have current documentation.  I hope it is still included, as I have been expecting to be able to use PolyORB to manage a highly distributed system for which I am nearing the test phase.

Anyone has indications on how to find PolyOrb and make it work as of march 2018?

-Latest source supposed to be accessible is 2014, but not even wget can get through... the 3mb download at Adacore.

-Looks like only source available is 2013 and is does not "make" on Debian 9 buster + Gnat 2017 GPL.

-Debian 9 buster has a PolyOrb (2014) package but some of its bin segfault and gprbuild complains at option -I- when called within po_gnatdist. Tried 2 DSA github projects and nothing build. 

Somehow it reminds me of the task: Find Permit A 38 in "The Place That Sends You Mad" in the legendary french animation flick The Twelve Tasks of Asterix. :)


Thank you.

I have a Frankensteinian semi-solution which may [or may not] work --
(1) Download the 2014 PolyORB, 2014 GPL GNAT, and latest GNAT;
(2) Install 2014 GPL GNAT;
(3) Install 2014 PolyORB;
(4) Install latest GPL GNAT to location in #1, overwriting it.

Thank you for the solution Shark8!

Two notes to share:

1- I received news from Adacore. They can not commit to a precise date but they will release a revamped PolyORB in the coming weeks.

2- Rod Kay told me he maintains the ArchLinux Ada stuff and the GNAT -||-PolyORB should work properly. (After reading about ArchLinux, it looks like aa amazing distro, so I will give it a try when I have time).

Thank you all. Olivier
