It is pre-com= piled binaries and source code for a specific version version of Mac OS X. = I think about it as the fastest way possible to get a GNAT compiler suite w= orking on Mac OS X. It is faster that installing GNAT GPL 2016 since it req= uires installation of several "packages". XNAdaLib only requires unpacking = a zip-file in a suitable directory and then setting up the PATH and ADA_PRO= JECT_PATH environment variables and one is good to go. Anyways, I imagine t= here is a lot of work to provide the XNAdaLib and it helps many Ada develop= ers on the Mac OS X platform. Hello, XNAdaLib stands for extended native Ada libraries prebuilt for macOS. When AdaCore set up the libre site with GPL binaries for various platforms,= GTKAda was not (and is still not) shipped for macOS. So I built GTKAda from source for macOS. GTKAda is based on GTK+. Building GTK+ is long, needs lot of patches and many times I need help, so = I provide the result to the community. The library is becoming richer from year to year with AdaCore's GNATColl, F= lorist and many others from various contributors. The library needs only GNAT GPL installed on macOS. I haven't not so much feedbacks if it helps but I hope so. HTH, Pascal.=20 http://blady.pagesperso-orange.fr
