Re: Free AMD Core Math Library (BLAS/LAPACK) + Ada

Thanks for your inputs Nasser and Simon.

I put /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.6  in LIBRARY_PATH and issuing "make all" now gives:

make all

gnatmake cxblm.adb -largs lmfinc.o -lgfortran -lm
gnatbind -x cxblm.ali

with no error messages. And testing ./cxbi gives:

$ ./cxbi
Integer number passing:
mode: in out in/out
Ada send:
          1          1          1
 Fortran get:
           1           1           1
 Fortran send:
           2           2           2
Ada recieve:
          1          2          2
Ada send:
         -1         -1         -1
 Fortran get:
          -1          -1          -1
 Fortran send:
           0           0           0
Ada recieve:
         -1          0          0

There are some slight discrepancies in the first and last lines between what is sent and what is received. Is this normal?

In addition I have 2 questions:

1. Do I have to go through step 12 in Nasser's page:

htpp://12000.org/my_notes/ada/index.htm

2. "which gnatmake" will only give me /usr/gnat/bin/gnatmake if I put the latter in the path. But I am not able to write the path once for all. Each time I'm at the terminal, I do:

 echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games

and then

export PATH=/usr/gnat/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games

But this is valid only for the present session.

Can someone indicate me a way just to add /usr/gnat/bin/gnatmake once for all in my path. A basic linux question I guess.


Thanks,
YC
