RE: Ada on PDA - success!

["Robert C. Leif" <rleif@rleif.com>]

There are two Zaurus PDAs. The SL5600, which uses the IntelR 400MHz XScaleT
processor and the SL5500, which uses the StrongARM SA-1110, 206MHz. Which
does your version of GNAT work with? Can you cross-compile from a PC running
Windows XP?

Hello,

I managed to build GNAT cross compiler for Sharp Zaurus PDA -
http://www.zaurus.com. It was relatively easy, as Zaurus runs Linux.

GCC 3.3 did not work for arm, because there is something undefined for
arm architecture regarding exceptions and libgnat did'n want to link.

The GNAT version from libre.act-europe.fr worked. I had to fix a few
glibc header parameter names, but it was pretty easy.

For complete happiness I'd need to interface GNAT5/GCC 3.2.3 code to
C++ compiled with 2.95.x (Qtopia on Zaurus is compiled with it). Does
anybody know wether it's possible, and how to do this?

Regards,
Wojtek Narczynski
