X-Windows Programming with Gnat

X-Windows Programming with Gnat

[EMANUELE COSTA]

Hi,
        I'm would like to know if there exists a possibility to program
X-windows graphic user interface with Gnat.
        Furthermore, there exists some documentation on how to
programming X-windos with gnat?
        I can use both Ada and C, or just link C to Ada.
        Thanks
                EMANUELE

Sure.

Pick up the Intermetrics Ada95 binding to X/Motif.

http://www.inmet.com/~mg/x11ada/x11ada.html

You can program all in Ada95 and you can just use the standard
O'Reilly books for documentation.  The examples are very close to 1-1
mapping.  If you are going to be working on a real project, you can
(and should) wrap the low-C-level stuff in a higher level interface
specifically addressing your application's needs.
