Bizzare Errors with GW AdaEd 1.4.2 020 Fat for System 7

Bizzare Errors with GW AdaEd 1.4.2 020 Fat for System 7

[Brian M. Boerner]

Does anyone have any experience running this version of GW Ada on
Macintosh System 7?  I get a bizzare error that is not very well
formatted I might add when I try to compile something.

During the link phase, it tells me that it is not able to open the
library it just created for reading.  However this makes no sense and in
some way seems to be related to the code that it is compiling.

For example, it seems to do it more often when I am creating block
statements.  If I create a monolithic piece of code, that just executes
strait down, there is no problems. Another example would be creating 2
or more loops inside of another loop.  There really seems to be no rhyme
or reason as to why it fails. I can read the files it creates, and also
can create files in the directory that it is trying to read from?

Has anyone else experiened similar problems.  I am really at a loss
here.  I thought I would be slick and work on this at home, and now it
simple wont link.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Brian

p.s. Please excuse the terminology as in this version it is hard to tell
what it is doing... i.e. compiling... linking... generating c code...

Sorry, can't really help you with that. I had a go at AdaEd once
but decided that it did not serve my purpose.

I am now using Codebuilder from Tenon (http://www.teneon.com) and
am really pleased with it. You may consider purchasing it ($99,-).

For those new to CLA, Codebuilder is a product from Tenon that is a 
complete Unix development environment, along with a bunch of compilers,
including a full port of the GNAT Ada 95 compiler for the Mac.
