EMX/GCC and GNAT on OS/2

EMX/GCC and GNAT on OS/2

[Carol Conner]

I have the EMX distribution of GCC in use on my OS/2 machine.  I would also 
like to set up and experiment with the GNAT Ada compiler for OS/2.  Perhaps 
do some comparisons by developing separate programs of identical functionality 
using Ada for one and C++ for the other.

__ My question: __

Is it possible to have both compilers installed and functioning on one machine
at the same time?  

They each have their own (and different) copies of as.exe, cc1.exe, cpp.exe, 
and gcc.exe which they look for along the same path.  

They also each have a group of identically *named* (but not identical in 
content) include files, and they each require the environmental variable 
C_INCLUDE_PATH in order to find their respective files.

Can anyone think of a way to circumvent these file conflicts?  Thanks for
any suggestions.

The next release of GNAT for OS/2 will use the EMX port, so these file
conflicts will disappear.

As Robert Dewar noted, these problems will soon disappear.  In the meantime,
probably the best thing to do is to have separate OS/2 Windows for each
compiler, with the appropriate environment variables set.
