Ada compiler overview?

Ada compiler overview?

[Jacob Sparre Andersen]

Several places on my web site, I refer to:

   http://www.adaic.org/docs/flyers/comp-tool.html

for an overview over which Ada compilers are available and -
at least in theory - where to download the ones that can be
downloaded for free.

But some @#$%^&* has removed that page from the Ada IC web
site. Does anybody maintain something equivalent? Where?

Thanks.

I couldn't find a link to "www.gnuada.org" there. :-(
And no address for suggestions for the page. :-(

As one of the @#$%^&* in charge of the redesign and freshening of
adaic.org, I will plead guilty to the charge of moving the file. We
originally had hoped to keep people's bookmarks and links intact, but
the old site had just gotten overrun by cruft. (There is over 1.1
Gigabytes of files on the original adaic.org site). We finally decided
to basically start over.

We've just started the switchover process, and I fully expect that there
will be some pain while this continues.

Most old files are available on the archive site (archive.adaic.com) in
their original positions. However, we are eliminating old files from the
archive if they are updated and placed on the new site. (Else, we'll
just increase the amount of cruft, and people will be linking to
obsolete material.)

>I couldn't find a link to "www.gnuada.org" there. :-(

Never heard of it. The only information we have about GNAT comes from
ACT. If someone would like to volunteer to update the old information on
GNAT, I'd love to hear from them.

>And no address for suggestions for the page. :-(

The mailing address is on the home page, and is webmaster@adaic.org. It
would be a good idea to make that more obvious.

I think gnuada.org isn't really all that useful for anyone who isn't a Linux
user. However, I have high hopes that situation will turn around quickly when
Gnat gets merged into the gcc baseline. Gnuada.org would be the natural
organizational home for public gnat efforts.

The www.gnuada.org site also either has or points to
GNAT for DOS
GNAT for SCO UNIX
GNAT for NetBSD

I know the problem. :-(

Would it be possible for the 404 page to include a link to
the relevant document on "archive.adaic.com", if it exists?
It would make life somewhat easier for people using the dead
links.

Have you considered using the HTTP "moved permanently"
response for these files?

"www.gnuada.org" hosts volunteer efforts to port/package
GNAT to Linux, DOS, SCO and NetBSD.

It would at least keep me from yelling out complaints on
Usenet. :-)

Whoops. Fair enough. I don't use any of those OS's either, so that's just my
biases slipping through, I guess.
