using jGRASP to compile Ada

using jGRASP to compile Ada

[Kevin.Marciniak]

I'm trying to use jGRASP to compile, but I get the following error:

 ----jGRASP exec: gnatmake -g hello_world.adb

gcc -c -g hello_world.adb
gcc.exe: CreateProcess: No such file or directory
gnatmake: "hello_world.adb" compilation error

 ----jGRASP wedge2: exit code for process is 4.
 ----jGRASP: operation complete.

This is on a Windows XP Pro machine.  And the Windows system path
includes the folder where gnatmake and gcc are, but I don't understand
why its giving me this error.  I also put the Ada source file in the
same directory, but same result.

Source:

with Text_IO;
procedure Hello_World is

begin
  Text_IO.Put_Line("Hello World!");
end Hello_World;

I also checked the Settings->Compiler Settings->Workspace for Ada and
its using the compiler that I have in the system path.  Any help would
be great.  Thanks.

You need to make sure the Path environment variable listed in the
System Compiler Environment window includes the path to your compiler.
JGrasp does not use the operating system Path variable.

Is there any important reason why to use jGRASP? If not I would
recommend to use GPS. It is a modern IDE, simple enough for a quick
test and yet sophisticated enough to handle a very large and complex
project. By the way, wherever there is a GNAT (evidence of gnatmake),
a GPS should be available.

I did that for both the PATH/CLASSPATH and Compiler sections, but it
still gives me the same error.  It points to C:\GNAT\bin.  Which is
where I unzipped the gnat binaries to.  I got the gnat binaries from:
"http://sourceforge.net/project/platformdownload.php?group_id=12974"
I went via Settings->Compiler Settings->Workspace on the menu.  Is
there another spot?

@Anh Vo:  I would use GPS except AdaCore no longer makes it available
from their libre site.  And being that I'm using jGRASP for personal
learning, it wouldn't make sense for me to buy my own copy of GPS.

It is part of GNAT GPL 2007. So download the whole package and you have
it. So the question now is which compiler are you using ?

I'm using jGRASP version 1.8.6_05.

The https://libre2.adacore.com/ is down today due to the move. See
message below from Arno

The snapshots have been disabled temporarily for technical reasons.
It should come back in a week or so.

Note also that the libre site will be shutdown on friday due to office
moves, for a few hours or a few days, depending how the move goes :-)

Arno
---------------------------------------------------------------

Therefore, GNAT is still available and free. You should check back
later today. The worst case is several days as Arno mentioned.

It does use the system PATH. The paths in the settings are
in addition to the system path (and take precedence over it).

What happens if you do
   gnatmake -g hello_world.adb
from the command line? Usually, if it works from the command
line it should work from jGRASP.

I get the same error.  I went to the directory that the source file is
in and tried to compile from the command line, but the same error
happens.  Is there a step that I'm not doing?  I unzipped the binaries
from sourceforge, then I included the folder that I unzipped to in the
Windows system path.  Then I wrote the simple hello_world.adb.  Then I
tried to compile from the command line with gnatmake -g
hello_world.adb and I still get the same error.  Are you using the
binaries from sourceforge or from some place else?

I haven't tried it for a long time. The download site doesn't seem to
be responding, but I'll try later. Exactly what package did you
download? The sourceforge site seems to just point to the
AdaCore site for the GNAT/GPL for Windows download.

A google search for the error message doesn't turn up any GNAT
references except for this thread, so I doubt that it's a common
problem. Did you add the GNAT directory to the front of the
PATH? Maybe if you added it to the back, GNAT is calling some
other (wrong) gcc.

Of all the things I didn't do was a reboot!!!!!!  After the reboot it
compiled, binded, linked, and ran hello_world just fine.  Blast
Windows.  No where in ANY installation instructions did it say to
reboot after installing MinGW, GNU Ada, or jGRASP!!!!  I can't believe
that's all I had to do.  What was I thinking?  Of course on a
Microsoft Windows machine it needs a reboot!  Thanks everyone for the
help though.

Here is the steps needed to get it to work.
1) Install MinGW
2) In the Windows system path, add the directory to where the MinGW
binaries were installed
3) Unzip the GNU Ada GPL to where the MinGW directory is
4) REBOOT!!!!
5) Install jGRASP (does NOT need another reboot)
6) Code
