RE: GNAT use

[Carlisle, Martin]

Well, I'd suggest visiting http://www.gnuada.org/  I just installed the Red
Hat version of GNAT, and it was really straightforward.  (They have Debian
there too).

Subject: GNAT use


I've been curious about ADA in Linux.  The one time I did something
about it, I went to a site and downloaded, supposedly, GNAT.   That was
as far as I got.  Is there someplace that has the list of 10 steps to
trying ADA in Linux?
e.g.
1. download the gz file
2. gunzip xvf  filename (?)
3. whatever for further installation
4. how to run  i.e. bash#  gnat xxx yyy zzz filename (?)

The reason I mentioned the simple list is that too often I have been
pointed to HOWTO files.  And, no offense, but the expression "using a
cannon to shoot a gnat" comes to mind.

Thanks a lot for your help.
I can be emailed at psimdars@lisco.com

Ada not ADA :-)

Which Linux distribution do you have?

If you have Mandrake, RedHat or Suse you should get the .rpm files. If you have
Debian, Corel or Stormix you download the .deb pacakges at <URL: http://www.gnuada.org/alt.html>

To start you need to install:
	                            gnat-3.12p_glibc2.1-1
	                            gnat-devel-3.12p_glibc2.1-1

If this works (it should) you can install more packages.
