The GNU Ada: GNAT/GPL for SuSE 10.0 x86_64 Released

The GNU Ada: GNAT/GPL for SuSE 10.0 x86_64 Released

[Martin Krischik]

Hello,

AdaCore thought that all "GPL" programmers use only 32bit machines and
therefore did not provide a 64 bit compiler.

I at least use an AMD 64 and do wanted a native 64 bit Ada compiler to go
with it. While it was pretty strait forward for SuSE 9.3 it became quite
tricky for SuSE 10.0. SuSE 10.0 comes with GCC 4.0.2 which knows more
warnings then gcc 3.4.5 - and it's an implicit -gnatwe for compiling the
compiler.

So I had to dig out the old compiler I made for SuSE 9.3 to make the
compiler for 10.0. And even then there where quite a few patches needed.

But now it is all there in an nice need and downloadable rpm Package.

Martin

On the download page it says "IA64" in the Architecture column. That's 
Intel's design, used in the Itanium, and not the same as AMD's x86-64.
