The OP never mentioned Fedora. In case you really meant Debian, I remind your that per your request, gtkada.gpr was reinstated in Debian starting with libgtkada2.14.2-dev in June this year. This is present in Debian testing and probably in Ubuntu 10.10. > But since GNAT FSF for Fedora/Ubuntu is quite broken anyway, The GNAT in Debian (and hence Ubuntu) is far from broken and it works quite well for me. I think your remark is a bit offensive given all the hard work I put in the Debian compiler. In particular I backported a lot of bug fixes into gnat-4.4, some even at your request (e.g. http://bugs.debian.org/589164). Unless Fedora has the same level of support and the same backported fixes, you should not imply that the Debian and Fedora compilers are identical. > I would not worry about that in your place. The point of a binary distribution like Debian and Ubuntu is to take the installation, compilation and configuration worries away. The OP does not worry about his Ubuntu, he worries about GNAT GPL on Windows. So your advice is misdirected. > You better use GNAT GPL 2010 for > Linux and its GtkAda instead.
