Approximate procedure for installing gcc3.1 with the prebuilt GNAT Ada95 compiler 1. Obtain a dearchiver that knows how to deal with .tar.gz tarballs. I used PowerArchiver 7.02.08 from http://www.powerarchiver.com 2. Download the following tarball from http://www.mingw.org mingw-1.0.1-20010726.tar.gz 3. Download the following tarballs from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435. gcc-3_1-core-20020516-1.tar.gz gcc-3_1-Ada-20020516-1.tar.gz bunutils-2_12_90-20020518-1.tar.gz mingw-runtime-2.0-20020430.tar.gz 4. Create a new MinGW directory: I used c:\mingw. 5. If you are running Windows 95/98/NT/2000, now is a good time to increase your environment space allocation. Under Windows 95/98, see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q230205 for the gory details. Under Windows NT/2000, see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q158141 for the gory details. 6. Add c:\mingw\bin to your path. Under Windows 98, edit autoexec.bat. (And you thought Win95 was a new operating system...) 7. Reboot your PC, to make the environment and path changes operative. 8. Unpack these tarballs into the new directory, IN THE ORDER LISTED ABOVE. mingw-1.0.1-20010726.tar.gz 9. Verify the basic functionality by typing "gcc -v". See http://www.mingw.org for more about this. 10. Create a C "Hello world" program. Compile and link it, using "gcc -o hello hello.c". Execute it by typing "hello". 11. Unpack these tarballs into your MinGW directory. gcc-3_1-core-20020516-1.tar.gz gcc-3_1-Ada-20020516-1.tar.gz bunutils-2_12_90-20020518-1.tar.gz mingw-runtime-2.0-20020430.tar.gz 12. Define the symbol ADA_INCLUDE_PATH in autoexec.bat as c:\mingw\lib\gcc-lib\mingw32\3.1\adainclude 13. Define the symbol ADA_OBJECTS_PATH in autoexec.bat as c:\mingw\lib\gcc-lib\mingw32\3.1\adalib 14. Create an Ada95 "Hello, world" procedure, and compile/link/execute it using gnatmake. gnatmake -v -f atest "John R.
