The installation documents are a bit confusing at one point. It seems to say you cannot build with Ada unless you already have an older GNAT. But it doesn't give much clues on setting of variables or options to use the older GNAT. And then it seems to say you CAN install GNAT without an older one, IF you can figure out a lot of cryptic configuration variances. > The Cygwin installer doesn't seem to work very well. > Is there a trick for selecting/deselecting packages > that won't lock up the installer? Still interested if anyone can answer this--and if anyone can list CygWin parts that are definitely NOT needed to install or run GCC/GNAT.
