Can't redirect output from gnat-3.13p-nt

Can't redirect output from gnat-3.13p-nt

[Vincent Smeets]

Hallo,

I have installed the GNAT compiler from gnat-3.13p-nt.exe on my
Windows98 computer.

When I compile a file, I can't redirect the output to a file. It will
always be displayed in a window. When there are many errors, I can't see
the first one. I use the command:
	gcc -c prog.adb >errors.txt

Is there a way to get the errors in a file? I use the gvim-editor and it
can then jump directly to the location of the error if it has a file
with the errors..

I'm asking for redirecting the output. I'm not asking for an other
editor which can also jump to the error location!

Thanks,
Vincent

I believe you can use the -gnatl switch to create a compiler listing. You
can redirect the output of the compiler listing to a file and this will
contain error messages along with the surrounding code. (You'll see the
error messages on the screen but they also go to the listing.) This isn't
exactly what you asked for, but it works pretty well and I generally prefer
having the listing with the error messages anyway.

Try this one:

  gcc -c proj.adb 2> errors.txt

To redirects the error output (not the standard output) to a file.

I don't think this will work in command.com, it does not in
Windows NT cmd.exe. But the latter understands 2>&1, maybe this
helps.

Also, I have some vague memories of more usable shell replacements
(4DOS?, pdksh?, bash?) which could provide redirection. You might
have to start gvim from that replacement.

I tested on W2K prior to my original post.
I just verified that the same works on NT 4.0 SP6.  It works there too.

If you try this and get an empty file, remember gcc does not produce any
output for a clean compile.  Only when there are errrors.

As I remember it that will not work with the cmd.exe shell (command
interpeter) in Windows NT4. A workable solution is to get CygWin, then
you'll get bash (where the redirection actually works).

Forget your memory.  It works!
