I would like to clarify my previous postings.
Having a GNAT delivering PowerMac stand-alone applications is what counts. To me
and certainly to a couple of others.
That tasking requires a lot of extension is no surprise. This lack of MacOS has
been often pointed to.
All in all, GNAT hosted in MPW may well never be done.
I am willing to contribute and pay for further devlopments of GNAT though.
But today, the offer looks strange:
You can download GNAT (essentially at null cost)
to make it run in a shell (which costs $700).
Compare this with commercial offers of compilers: Metrowerks offers for $400
a subscription for three releases to C/C++, Pascal, Java for Mac 68K and PPC,
and Windows, with CodeWarrior IDE and MPW.
That's why I am waiting for a "stripped down" MachTen environment. The product
MachTen as it is now deserve its price. The usage I plan to make of it
(programming shell for GNAT) does not.
