GNAT Ada can be compiled in Linux running inside of a VMware (Russia uses the www.damn.to software to make it run longer). An easy thing to do is to give up on installing GNAT in OpenBSD (unless their Linux emulator has bugs). Mr M. Espie has written a lot of messages at the gcc mailing list with some hints on getting Ada compiled in OpenBSD (I sent quoted messages privately). The messages seemed rather unhelpful. Problems with the debugger can be major: in FreeBSD 4, blocking sockets blocked tasks. I tried to fix that by compiling up a native FreeBSD GNAT cross-compiler that generated Linux ELF excutables but the exectuables created were a bit corrupt: http://www.ijs.co.nz/code/ada95-freebsd-to-linux-cross-compiler.txt -- PS. MinGW now installs out of the box. The GPS debugger was not printing out the values of variables. It looks like Germans need to keep buying GNAT Ada Pro. GPS: http://libre.act-europe.fr/gps/ I find my FreeBSD 5 system is auto-erasing. The absence ofthat was a top reason for minimizing use of Linux. The popularity of FreeBSD is quickly rising apparently according to their download stats. Craig Carey
