Re: Missing Ada components in Ubuntu

[Sebastien Morand <seb.morand@gmail.com>]

I just compiled AWS under ubuntu so I can help you.

First, you have to compile gcc-4.3 because you can't compile aws-2.3.0 without 
it and there is no package in ubuntu.
To compile gcc, you have to get the sources and configure the stuff be sure, to 
compile the ada langueage (it will be shown during configure).
Afterwards you run make bootstrap and that's all.

It's a bit long but it works.

Then to compile aws and any ada stuff with gcc 4.3 you have to configure CC var. 
For instance :
export CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc if gcc is installed in /usr/local (default)

I recomand you to compile xmlada and asis if you want to.

The thing is Ada.Calendar.Formatting is a library not implemented but in the 
version 4.3 ... so no choice to use it.

I'll be happy to help you in any way if you have any problem compiling this stuff.

And believe me, it worth it :-)
