GWindows is still GNAT-only, right? If you want to use a different Ada compiler, Claw is really your only option. >Despite the lack of PR (not sure why they are not listed in the AdaIC.org >list of packages for example. >It is probably the largest ada framework used outside of those distributed >today by AdaCore in the world. The AdaIC page is a list of locations to look for free software, not a "list of packages". GWindows is in libre (at least it used to be), so it doesn't get a separate listing. The same is true Dmitry's various packages, Tero's stuff, and so on. The page really is just a listing of places to look, and it mainly is just a list of links that we feed to the search engine. The intent was that the way to find any package was to use the search engine (http://www.adaic.org/ada-resources/ada-on-the-web/) to find possibilities. (Besides, I thought AdaPower had such a list of packages. Which hasn't been updated in forever... :-) Randy.
