gnat on linux

[Johan Groth]

Hello,
I've been trying to get gnat-3.10p work on RedHat 6.0 without any luck.
Any program I try to run after I've done gnatmake just dumps core. Here
is an output from gdb:

[jgroth@tiger ~/src/adasrc]$ gdb test

(gdb) r
Starting program: /home/jgroth/src/adasrc/test 

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x4006df7d in _IO_setvbuf (fp=0x8052810, buf=0x0, mode=2, size=0)
    at iosetvbuf.c:92
iosetvbuf.c:92: No such file or directory.
(gdb) 

test.adb looks like this:

[jgroth@tiger ~/src/adasrc]$ more test.adb 
with Text_Io;
use Text_Io;

procedure test is
begin
   Put_Line("hejsan");
end test;

There is something wrong with my environment but I don't know what. Can
anyone help me?

Please reply by email.

TIA,
Johan

Get gnat-3.12p. Funky libc version changes do funky things with gnat-3.10p.
See www.gnuada.org for binaries.

You should definitly upgrade to 3.12. There is a RPM for Linux somewhere.

I think there is a pointer on www.adapower.com

Two points here

1. Do be SURE to read at least the readme file that comes with
the distribution. It is always surprising to see how many
problems people run into from not even bothering to read this
one document. In this case the readme file will make clear that
this ancient version of GNAT (released well before RedHat 6.0
existed) supports an earlier version of RedHat, and it is not
at all surprising that it would not support later versions.

2. If you are working with donwloaded unsupported software, you
should always be sure to check whether there are later versions.
Of course if you are using supported software, your support
contacts will point you to these later versions instantly, but
if you are working on your own, you have to take the initiative
to check for later versions.

In the case of GNAT, there are fairly frequent updates, and
they contain many new features, fixes, and, as is most relevant
in this case, modifications to work with latest versions of
operating systems.

In the case of Linux, there is a team that works on GNAT for
Linux, and provides a site from which the latest versions may
be conveniently downloaded:

http://www.gnuada.org/alt.html

The GNAT for Linux team is not an official part of Ada Core
Technologies, but we keep in close contact, so the latest
versions should always be at this site. So you should travel
there ASAP!

Since you are running Red Hat, you might as well make life easy for
yourself and install the latest version of GNAT from RPMs.  You can get
them (and lots of other goodies) at the Ada for Linux Team's page,
http://www.gnuada.org/alt.html. (The link to the RPMs page is right up near
the top.)

Thank you all who helped me find newer GNAT-RPMs.

Can you give us a clue as to what your compilation problem is?

Normally, one doesn't need to use compilation scripts at all -- just do
a gnatmake command on the main program, and everything necessary is compiled
and linked.

There are various options available with gnat for dealing with multiple
source
directories, etc., but if you can provide more context for your question,
I'll be glad to help.
