gnat 3.11p and glibc2.1

gnat 3.11p and glibc2.1

[Bruno BEAUFILS]

Hi,

I tried to install gnat 3.11p on a Linux Mandrake 6 (i.e. with glibc 2.1). I
get the archive gnat-3.11p-i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1-bin.tar.gz, decompressed it
and installed it following the instructions, but once installed I am not able
to compile this little program:

with TEXT_IO; use TEXT_IO;
procedure essai is
begin
  Put_Line("ca marche ??");
end essai;

I get:

{vaartlander-beaufils-~/tmp} gnatmake essai
gcc -c essai.adb
gnatbind -x essai.ali
gnatlink essai.ali
ld: cannot open crtbegin.o: No such file or directory
gnatmake: *** link failed.

I use the ld form the latest binutils.

I think it comes from the libc2.1, but am not sure. Does anybody have any
ideas ?

The gnat-3.11p-i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1-bin.tar.gz version is for libc5
systems --
i.e., RedHat 4 and earlier.

my recommendation is that you visit the Linux for Ada Team website at
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/linux-ada/ where they have versions patched
for glibc-2.1

You might also want to join their mail list.

Since you use a distribution that uses the RPM package format, you
should use these packages instead.

You will find the RPMS here:     http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/linux-ada/

And if you want to make apps with a GUI you can find a really good
toolkit here: 
                http://gtkada.eu.org/

I'm using a RedHat 6.0 system so it should work nicely for you too as
Mandrake is more or less a copy of RedHat.
