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. > >Sending links to already existing projects is not what I want.

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. > >Oh, and telling me to use a search engine to find them, where in my >original post did I ask for existing OS projects in Ada? > >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.
