Ada for linux? Where?

Ada for linux? Where?

[Greg Herlein]

I'm looking at playing with Ada, for the fun of it... (I know, I'm a
mosochist).  Is it available for linux?  Preferably Ada95...

Thanks in advance... email is preferred.

Hi Greg,
The closest site to you is:
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/languages/ada/compiler/gnat/distrib/gnat-3.07-i586-u
nknown-linux-elf-bin.tar.gz
And no, you're not a masochist -- it is fun!

Well you can be forgiven for your parenthetical comment, since no doubt you
borrow this uninformed attitude from the Linux manual :-) :-)

Anyway, the good news is that Ada 95 is available as free software (it is
part of the GNU system and thus of course part of Linux). The Ada 95
compiler is called GNAT, and can be downloaded from many sites, including
cs.nyu.edu (directories pub/gnat).
