GCC 2.8.1 is missing some support for new systems. The best solution should come with GNAT 3.13, which (hopefully) will be based on GCC 2.95(96?) which will clear up most of the problems with new systems. Once you have GCC running on it, GNAT won't be much more work. >Unless Apple is serious about bringing GNAT to MacOSX .... Apple doesn't seem to be serious about getting GCC support in the mainstream. The only version of GCC that runs on MacOSX is a hacked Egcs 1.1.1 (I believe.) Since there hasn't been any move by Apple to donate their changes back to the FSF, it seems unlikely that a FSF or ACT GNAT or a FSF GCC will run on MacOSX anytime soon. -- David Starner - dstarner98@aasaa.ofe.org
