Adagide install doesn't seem to work?

Adagide install doesn't seem to work?

[Ben]

Hi all.  My first post here.

If there is a more appropriate forum for IDE questions, please let me know.

I am wondering if anyone has run into this before?  When I install gnat, and
then adagide, and I try to build, I get a "program: Cannot find:
gnatbind.exe.ali" message.

Any ideas?  Looks to be looking for the .ali, which doesn't exist on my
system, and I would think is an error, and should really be looking for
"gnatbind.exe", which does exist.

Not sure, could it have to do with where I installed it?  X:\Program
Files\gnat

Thanks!

Which version of AdaGide do you have.

What was the code you've tried to build.

Not really.

Normally it installs to X:\ProgramFiles\adagide.
Did you install GNAT in "Program Files"? Maybe the space character makes
the difference. Try to rename it (without space) or install it in a
different directory (e.g. X:\GNAT).

I didn't try XP yet, but 98,NT and 2000 work fine.

Really :-)

This is a bit old. Try the new one (6.50,
http://www.usafa.af.mil/dfcs/bios/mcc_html/adagide.html)


If the problems remain, try to install it on its default
(X:\ProgramFiles\adagide and X:\GNAT). Do you have XP home or XP
professional. If you have the later, maybe you have insufficient access
rights?
Check your PATh environment variable, it should contain X:\GNAT\BIN

Hey there.  Thanks for the reply.

I went ahead and did the following:

Uninstalled both products
Installed gnat at X:\GNAT
Installed the newest adagide at X:\Program Files\adagide

And it seems to work fine.  This is under XP Pro, but I do have the required
priv's.

I am not sure, but I think it's because of the blank character in the
pathname. Although windows accept it, its handling is something special.
E.g. you must write 'dir "program files"' rather than 'dir program
files' on the command line. The same is valid when calling programs
("\program files\adagide\adagide" vs. \program files\adagide\adagide).
While AdaGide does some explicit handling for path names to avoid
problems, GNAT seems not to do so.

With WinNT 4 I had the exact same problem. If you run gnat from the
command line it is fine, but from AdaGide it dosn't work. I do not
know why, however the solution is to move gnat to c:\gnat (or maybe
x:\gnat).

This ' ' bug is (was) in GNAT 3.13p installation, possibly removed in
GNAT 3.14p. A possibility is to set the short "8.3" DOS name in the
appropriate regisitry key with regedit.

As replied to Ben the problem was in GNAT 3.13p installation,
due to the ' ' in "Program Files". It should have been corrected
in GNAT 3.14p.
Another possibility is to set the short "8.3" DOS name in the
appropriate regisitry key with regedit.
