AWS on Mac OS X?

AWS on Mac OS X?

[Jacob Sparre Andersen]

Is there a special reason that AdaCore doesn't distribute AWS for Mac OS
X?  I would expect AWS to be rather portable, so it worries me a bit,
that I can't find AWS in the list of downloads for Mac OS X on the
libre.adacore.com website.

Greetings,

Jacob

Yes, there are two reasons:

1. git clone as shown on http://libre.adacore.com/libre/tools/aws/

2. make setup build install


Or something like that. It worked for me.

I have to admit that it was much more involving on Windows, as it
required the installation of Cygwin. Then I understand that already
compiled binary packages provide a lot of added value. But
interestingly, they are not available on Windows, either. Or at least
I was not able to find them.

I just downloaded the sources from the Linux option and built it.
Seems to work!

As Martin says, you can download the source from the Linux or Windows
variants (neither seems to supply binary, anyway!)

It builds on Lion with GNAT GPL 2011 and (after a battle which I can
tell you about if you need to know) with GCC 4.6.0; 'make check' fails
in both cases (in gnatcheck, I think, complaining about "implicit IN
mode in parameter specification" -- I would rather complain about
*explicit* IN mode but there you go).

The demos build until ws, whatever that is,

gcc -c -gnat05 -I- -gnatA /Users/simon/tmp/aws-git/demos/ws/ws_cb.adb
ws_cb.adb:114:22: ambiguous expression (cannot resolve "Register")

A recent API change done yesterday broke this demo. Should be fixed now.

Pascal.

So it is. All demos build now. Thanks!
