Install problems with Gnat GPL 2010 on Mac OS X

Install problems with Gnat GPL 2010 on Mac OS X

[Stephen Sangwine]

Has anyone succeeded in installing Gnat GPL 2010 on a Mac?
The doinstall script doesn't work 'out of the box'. Run
under sudo, the first error I hit is this:

touch: GPL/gnat-2010-x86_64-apple-darwin9.6.0-bin/install.log: No such 
file or directory

Creating an empty file install.log and restarting leads to this one:

./doinstall: line 225: cd: /usr/local/gnat/bin: No such file or directory
chgrp: gdb: No such file or directory
chmod: gdb: No such file or directory

(This is all with default responses to the script dialogue.)

Yes. The installation and compiler worked without a hitch.

Puzzling. Are you both using Snow Leopard?

It gave me the same error.  I think it was something with the
directory I was running the install from.  A space or something in it.

I got the same error (on Leopard). Had to tinker with the install
script then it went nicely.

Yes! You have pointed me in the direction of the error.

The problem is this: when I downloaded GNAT GPL 2010 I also asked
for XMLADA and the tar file contains two top-level directories,
one of them called "GNAT GPL" (with a space). Below this is the
directory gnat-2010-x86_64-apple-darwin9.6.0-bin. I ran the
doinstall script from the directory

~/Desktop/AdaCore/Gnat GPL/gnat-2010-x86_64-apple-darwin9.6.0-bin

and this is the cause of the problem. I worked around it by moving
the directory gnat-2010-x86_64-apple-darwin9.6.0-bin directly into
the AdaCore directory and installation worked.

I've now reported this problem to AdaCore, with the suggested
fix of changing the directory name from 'GNAT GPL' to 'GNAT-GPL'
in the downloaded tar file.

And I have been told the problem has already been fixed, so more
recent downloads should not suffer from it.
