Re: Ada compiler/debugger/GUI development IDE for WindowsXP/Linux

[Marin David Condic <nobody@noplace.com>]

A good list of stuff, but the OP also asked about a GUI builder. You can 
get a GUI builder at: http://libre.act-europe.fr/GtkAda/main.html This 
is the GtkAda GUI environment that you can get for either Windows or Linux.

Also, there is the GPS Interactive Development Environment that should 
be available for either Windows or Linux at: 
ftp://ftp.cs.nyu.edu/pub/gnat/gps/ I find it to be occasinally difficult 
(it keeps wanting to recompile system packages and I've forgotten how to 
shut that off!) but I like its view of a library full of software better 
than AdaGIDE. (Although AdaGIDE is pretty spiffy if you just want 
relatively small projects on a Windows platform)
