Hello,

first of all many thanks to Randy Hudson and Mitch Gart of Intermetrics
for c2ada -- really helpful.

Question: has anyone bothered to compile it for Linux?  Some headers
declare functions conflicting with standard libraries.  Comments show
this might be due to some funny features of the C system used,
example:

rgh: /* why don't these functions have prototypes in <stdio.h> ? */

After simply deleting the offending function declarations, other
things came up :-(  Anyone in net-land taken care of that? Or do I have
to do it myself?

Another question: My poking around for graphics stuff in Ada wasn't
quite successful.  Any hints?  Topics: homogeneous coordinates,
quaternions, generally linear algebra, modeling, rendering,
bindings... ???

Please mail and ask for summary, if interested.

Dirk


(Aside: As Linux is only a student hacker toy, it does not share those
commercial Un*x bugs ;-) Sorry, pun against some posts in the Unix
haters thread included...  Up to now, my Linux box isn't less
professional than the SUN which I use here at work.  Linux _is_ great.)
