LOL openSuse linux question: So I've installed "gcc-ada" package and "gcc43-ada" package from the openSuse 11.1 OSS repository (instead of the downloaded GNAT GPL 2009). How do I access the IDE, or is it completely command line driven? Also, if I install GNAT GPL 2009 (using the "./doinstall'), will that overwrite the gcc-ada install? And is GNAT GPL 2009 command line driven, or is there an actual application icon created I can click on (I don't see an icon for the gcc-ada install)? Also, if 'gcc-ada' is command line driven, how do I find the help file for using it? Thanks, Steph PS. I suppose I could have googled for all this but hey, maybe next time (LOL) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

(See also http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ada_Programming/Installing ) The IDE is a matter of choice. Typically, on GNU/Linux you have GNAT Programming Studio (GPS), Eclipse with Ada plugin, Emacs with elaborate Ada mode, or something else of your choice---I remember at least one other major editing program with Ada awareness. SuSE (Debian tends to be a better choice for Ada) might have corresponding packages. The ./doinstall GNAT GPL installation will let you chose a place for GNAT GPL stuff. By setting the PATH variable correspondingly, you can choose between compilers. (It's that simple. :-) The final screen of the ./doinstall script will tell you how, for GNAT GPL.) I don't remember whether or not a typical GNAT install will place app icons on the screen. But if you are running GNOME, there will be clickable items that place you in a programming environment for Ada. GPS is Ada centric, of course. It has some advanced features like graphical navigation (call chain displays, e.g.) that you typically expect from a more pricey offering. Emacs with Ada mode is quite capable, it works best after a bit of reading, and requires absence of Emacsphobia. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

I don't use SUSE, but GNAT Ada is one of several languages recognized by the GNU compiler, gcc. You might try `man gcc` or `man -k gnat`.

There may be a few things described that did not make it into the GPL version: http://libre.adacore.com/category/developers-center/reference-library/documentation/ Once you install, the exactly right docs for GPL 2009 are in <gnat install location>/share/docs. They're also available under the help menu item in GPS, which is an easier way to get at them. - Ed ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread
