Problems building gnat3.13p on HP-UX

Problems building gnat3.13p on HP-UX

[Alexander Boucke]

Hello!

I encounter the following problem, whenn trying to build gnat 3.13p on HP-UX
10.20. I followed the README exactly until

make CC=gcc CFLAGS="-O2" GNATLIBFLAGS="-O2" gnatlib.

Here the following error occurs:
gmake[2]: Entering directory `/home/alexb/tmp/gnat-neu/gcc-2.8.1/ada/rts'
../../xgcc -B../../ -c -g -O2 -UIN_GCC -mdisable-indexing -O2 -I. -I/home/al
exb/tmp/gnat-neu/gcc-2.8.1/ada a-caldel.adb
a-caldel.adb:37:01: language defined units may not be recompiled

Until then everything seemend to work fine. The gcc already installed is
from gnat 3.12p.

Could anybody tell me, what is going wrong here?

Kind regards,
Alexander Boucke

         ? I don't have HP-UX, but on my Linux box it is called gnatgcc

You cannot use both 3.12p and 3.13p

That's an oddity for some non-standard distributions of the
Linux port, it is not used on any standard releases of GNAT

This is misleading, in fact the requirement is that
3.13 be built using 3.12.

Hmm. Which distribution is standard? I use Debian 2.2.

I misunderstood the question and I realized it only after sending the
article. I canceled thus the article, but not all news-servers follow
this request. :-(

The ACT one. Assuming the merge of GNAT with mainline gcc occurs,
Debian will probably stop making gnatgcc, but so far it's the 
easiest way to seperate 'normal' gcc 2.95 and GNAT gcc.

I meant by standard, versions that are created by Ada Core
Technologies following the standard setup. It is indeed the
case that the Debian folks modify this, and in particular
change gcc to gnatgcc. There is nothing wrong with this, it is
just that it is special to Debian, and therefore not applicable
to other implementations.

If you only ever want to use the C compiler that comes as part of a
GNAT release, and don't want to use C++ or Fortran or ..., then the
GNAT requirement to put its bin directory on your path is fine.

The modern binary releases have a script trick to allow you to put the
binary anywhere without having to set environment variables.

However, most people will want more than that (and not just on Linux,
either).

I wrote a little package (see http://www.pogner.demon.co.uk/gnatfe/),
which uses tricks rather like those of the latest GNAT binaries, and
as supplied allows you to use GNAT versions of gcc (gnatgcc), gcov
(gnatgcov) and gdb (gnatgdb), plus the standard gnat* commands,
without individual adjustment of your path.

Alright - I've forgotten to unset the environment variables needed for
gnat3.12 before building the gnatlib...
