Gnat GPL dotnet

Gnat GPL dotnet

[Alex]

Has anybody used the dotnet Gnat GPL version? I'm trying to compile a 
project with it and I get an error message saying the import pragma for 
mssyst.object does not refer to a subprogram or object.

Has anybody had any similar experiences?

Please show your code and the exact error message. I suspect you have
a pragma Import for a subprogram but forgot to declare that
subprogram.

Thanks for the reply. Basically an RTFM problem. I was getting messages 
about not finding mssyst.ads and so I used the file that comes with mgnat 
(http://asharp.martincarlisle.com/) to get around this. After reading the 
manual I generated a new mssyst.ads using cil2ada - this worked OK then. 

Basically I was trying to mix mgnat with the dotnet version of GPS / 
gnat. Now that I'm just using the dotnet version of GPS / Gnat it works 
OK. However I am finding that I have to run dotnet-gnatmake from the 
commmand line - GPS runs gnatmake.

Does anybody know how I can get GPS to call dotnet-gnatmake instead of 
the regular gnatmake?

Thanks for anybody that can help iron out this last problem. It does work 
from the command line though so it's not a major worry.

Cheers

Alex

From the Project menu, select Edit Project Properties. Then, select
Languages tab of Properties window. From the Tools box, bottom left,
select the current compiler setting (Ada gnatmake line). Double click
on it. Select dotnet-gnatmake from the drop down menu box (Select new
value). Note that you can do the same for Gnatls, Gnat and Debugger.

Thanks for the tip - seems to be working OK now
