have 2 problems, please help.

[Ralph Moeritz]

Hi all!

I've currently got 2 small problems, please help me!

1. I need GNU make for Linux (on it's own, I don't want to download it as 
part of gcc package) in order to install GNAT (I think it's dumb that GNAT 
comes with gcc and g++ but not make!), please can someone give me a www 
address where I can find it?

2. I've just completed my solution to AdaTutor outside assignment 2 and 
because I cannot compile and link my program due to problem 1. , I was 
hoping someone who has done the AdaTutor course could tell me whether my 
answer is correct or not. Source below.

Thanks!
Ralph

2 things here:

1) If you are running GNU/Linux, I seriously doubt that you don't have a copy of
make installed somewhere. I certianly got it with Debian and Slackware when I
installed them last.

2) You *don't* need make to compile a Gnat Ada program. Sometimes it helps for
complicated programs, particularly those that have long lists of compiler flags
and/or linked-in C code. But for a simple program with all the sources in one
directory its quite unneeded. Give "gnatmake" your main unit name, and it should
be able to do the rest.

No, I chose not to install gcc (and make came with it) and gnatmake etc. 
don't run unless installed in /usr/gnat. But make is required to effect the 
initial install. I hope that's clearer. I only need make to install GNAT.

Hmmm....
I did some searching. It looks like gnumake is traditionally distributed in
source form, to be compiled with whatever C compiler you have laying around. I
think your best bet would to be to find some kind soul to send you the binary or
put it somewhere you can download it temporarily. I'd do it myself, but I don't
have a GNU/Linux system available right now.

The other alternative is that you could install the package (or whatever your
disto uses) that contains make. For the purposes of software development, you
may find that there's other stuff in there you'll need too.

Yes, indeed, we assume that people have make around, which
is why we don't supply a redundant copy. By the way GNAT
does not come with g++!

For this you just use the project features of gnatmake
(not yet available in 3.13p, but the latest version of
GNAT Pro has this capability, as does the GCC 3.x version
available at gnu.org).

Hmm. Odd on Debian make comes in a separate package.
