Subject: GNAT Binary Distributions : GPL or Not ???

Message-ID: <367D44BC.2A953A7F@Ada95SPAMHUNT.co.uk> (raw)
Could someone please explain the following ?
1) Why a glibc2 linked version of gnat 3.10p has not been released ?
2) Why the fact that the distribution does not "hide" the gcc code, as
it is destined always to be
at least a few versions behind the one most people have installed ?
3) Why the New York http site directs you to GNAT and GNAT promptly
labels you "a student" ( obviously if you can't afford "Support" you
must be a student) and sends you back to the New York site ?
These problems are relatively easy to fix for someone who knows the code
.... but they're good
problems for support contracts ..........
This proves that Ada programmers have more of a life than
C programmers... as no-one it seems (
including myself ) can be bothered to wrestle this "GPL" source from
GNAT LTD PLC ( or INC. for you
american buddies) and produce a hassle free distribution that runs on
the "GPL" platform GNU/LINUX.
