You ask about using GNAT. Those project could give you a start 
on how to begin with GNAT.

Those on any newsgroup do not spend their time waiting for you to ask 
a question. They visit when and only when they want to and they answer 
only those post they want to. In some case, the answers may come weeks 
later. So, be grateful that any person answers your request, because 
they are a few post that are never answered.

Existing project gives you an idea of how to start. As for Posix, well 
in MaRTE it is a few packages that are easiy to remove. But in looking 
at the Posix packages you could get an idea of how your application 
would link to the OS.

Plus unless you spell it out in the orginal post exactly what you want 
those who answer may assume information that you are not aware of that 
you may need. So, the poster's answers may reflect this.

From your first post:

  "What exactly would I have to do to GNAT to get this far?" 

That question is answered in other OS projects that use GNAT for 
the Ada compiler.

As for using a search engine, well that suggest there are other projects 
out there. That others posters may give or you could spend a few 
minutes and searching for.


So, why did you make the orginal post unless you want help or you want 
others to use your code?  Because, people normal wait until that have 
finish their project if this is only something they just want to do.
