This is the job of your distribution, IMHO. What platform are you on? On most GNU/Linux distributions nowadays, GCC supports Ada out of the box. On Debian, official Ada support is in GCC 4.1.1. There is also an experimental package gcc-4.2-snapshot which includes the Ada compiler, but no support for it. Whatever your distribution, I encourage you to review the build scripts (beware, they can be very complex, e.g. in Debian) and the build logs to see if the distribution maintainers encountered the same problems as you did. Then get in touch with the maintainers and contribute patches :) -- Ludovic Brenta.
