However, my main problem is the make procedure for NCurses. I should add that I am not linux guy, all my life I worked on Windows. I'm trying to get into Linux more but I am far from experienced. So I had a hard time getting NCurses to run with GPS, first I had to learn the hard way that Cygwin won't work at all and that I needed MinGW, then I had my fair share of problems with getting the Adacore GNAT compiler to run with the NCurses make files instead of the Gnat version that comes with MinGW and finally I had to alter the NCurses sourcefiles wince they would not compile on Windows without changes :( I am under the impressin that the Ada tools world is mostly focused on Linux and not so much on Windows, which is probably why there is no 64 bit version of Gnat for Windows. So I'm actually looking into a pure Ada solution for a Text IO library. I don't need too much fancy stuff, so I figured, I start by writing my own text tool library and then rewrite my Debug Monitor on top of that. There is always time later to add more fancy IO controls. --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast! Antivirus protection is active. http://www.avast.com
