Float IO & possible gcc screw up (newbie)

Float IO & possible gcc screw up (newbie)

[Pieter Thysebaert]

Hello ,

I'm kinda new to Ada.

I've just compiled my first package (I think, well I've ended up with an .o
file)
Now I wrote a little test program.
However this test program needs to output variables of type 'double'.
How do I do that ?
I've read about "instantiating Float_IO" ... but I have not been able to get
it to work.

All the above was done (or not yet done) using gnat for MS-DOS (or windows).
But I would like to get a linux version working.
However , the ms-dos version definitely has a file called "gcc" .
How can I install gnat for linux without screwing my existing (and working)
gcc version ?

Pieter

Use the RPMs from <http://www.gnuada.org/alt.html>.

Ada Float is C Float
and Ada Long_Float is C Double.

install the gnat rpms from http://www.gnuada.org/rpms313p.html#GNAT, and
you'll get gnatgcc
instead of gcc.

Post your current best effort, so we can see what you are doing wrong.
