GNAT problem

GNAT problem

[Chris]

I was successfully using GNAT with AdaGIDE on Windows 2000.
I went to compile a small test program today and it would not compile.
I have tried uninstallling, deleting directories, and reinstalling the
programs but fomr some reason I continue to get an error that "da
compiler not installed on this system"??

Here is what I see in AdaGIDE output:

Building...

          "Did you install a new gcc version? It may have hijacked
your search
  path such that the GNAT-compatible gcc is not accessible."

Yep, that was the problem. Thanks Dennis! I had installed an IDE
called WideStudio that came with gcc among other things. It placed gcc
at the end of the PATH and apparently the search order is from right
to left, and it was taking that gcc and not the one in \gnat\bin.

GNAT PROBLEM

[Eric Molitor]

I'm currently using GNAT v2.00 while learning how to program in ADA. The 
only thing I cant understand is how to get rid of that stupid line at the 
top of my screen when I run one of my compiled programs. Is there a 
switch to shut it off?

I guess you are using OS/2. If not, forget this.
To get rid of the help-line temporarily, write help off. To get rid
of it permanently, delete $i in the prompt-line in the config.sys file.
BTW, if you are using a command-window you can get more lines if you write
mode 80 60 (60 lines, max=102).

I like it, because I know the compiler is still alive and running.

btw: it is "Ada", not "ADA", the times of the card punch are gone.

Not a GNAT problem, exactly.

This is an option for go32, the extender under which djgpp and GNAT run.
You can turn it off by looking at your go32 environment variable. 
It should say something like "set go32=topline..."

If you remove the "topline", the go32 tracing will go away.

I usually leave it on; I learn a lot about memory utilization.

In case you use DOS it could be the status line from GO32.EXE you are 
referring to (also shows during compilation); to remove this line, find the 
line:
   set GO32=topline d:/djgpp/drivers/vga.grd gw 640 gh 480
or equivalent, in your autoexec.bat (or whatever) and remove the word 
"topline":
   set GO32=d:/djgpp/drivers/vga.grd gw 640 gh 480

This should work (refer to the readme.dj).
