Re: Mixing Cygnus & Gnat compilers on the same machine

["Marin David Condic" <marin.condic.auntie.spam@pacemicro.com>]

Well, it seems I've discovered a flaw that pricks the bubble of my earlier
irrational exuberance....

On attempting to recompile some C++ code with the Cygnus compiler, I got the
following message:

Compiling rads/diag.cpp into rads/diag.o
mips-elf-g++: installation problem, cannot exec `cpp': No such file or
directory

Upon de-installing Gnat, everything in Cygnus went back to being fine again.
I can pretty much reproduce it exactly by installing/deinstalling Gnat and
don't even need to reopen a command line window & reexecute the setup for
Cygnus. (do the "make" from a window with Gnat installed - problem.
Deinstall Gnat & repeat the command from the same window - it works.) It
might be a lot of things, but at this juncture, I am not sure what.

Anyway, be advised that Cygnus and Gnat have some problems playing in the
same sandbox together. If anyone has an incling as to why, maybe you can
clue me in. Thanks.
