gnat hppa

[Stefan Schaeckeler <schaecsn@gmx.de>]

Hi folks,

I _have_ to use Ada for a project. So I installed gnat on my computer: hpux 10.20,

hp735 (hppa 1.1). gnat seems to be able to compile there just hello_world - like

programs. larger programs don't compile (internal gnat error). the same programs

compile under sparc solaris and intel linux. that is not just one program that causes

trouble. say 1 out of 10.

i have tried gnat-3.10 3.11 and 3.12 with -O0, -O1 or -O2. all fail to compile complex programs.

i have tried the binaries for that machine that are available on the internet,

i have compiled these three versions by myself, too. now i am running out of

ideas (i just have one more idea: compiling gnat with other versions of gcc

than 2.8.1 ... i am not too optimistic. do the gnat patches work with newer

versions of gcc/egcs anyway?)

has somebody any experience with gnat on hpux?
