I really don't know anything about Gnat's setup, though. I heard it integrated fully into the Tornado toolset (including its debugger). I'd think that would have its advantages, including the possibility of target-shell debugging which we don't have, but I really don't know. >btw Do you use clearmake and what is your feelings about it? If you have ClearCase as well, you will find that you now have 3 options for "make". There's "clearmake", "omake" (both of which come with ClearCase), and "make" (which is used by Tornado to build kernels). I don't know what "make" Tornado would use on your system, but on Windows it comes with a version of GNU Make. Since we were going to have to use Tornado's make files anyway for our kernels, I just stuck with that. It has the added advantage that GNU Make has free online documentation, and I was already quite familiar with it. clearmake supposedly is smart enough to consider things obsolete when you change your view of it, even if it is now "older". However, our Ada sources have to be built using the GreenHills "build" tool and our kernel sources have to be built using GNU make, so we couldn't really take advantage of clearmake if we were to use it anyway. --- T.E.D. homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html home email - mailto:dennison@telepath.com
