Hi all (a long time I didn't posted here, hope every one is fine and fin=
e)

I may have two opportunities to push Ada in two different projects. The =
 =

first one is OK, as I will start it from the ground up. The second one i=
s  =

rather different, in the way it is an already existing project I would  =

like to work on (may not be a priority, as I would probably get nothing =
 =

for this, as it is a GPL application). This is a C++ rather big (for me)=
  =

peace of software, which however provide an opportunity to push Ada  =

inside, as it is a very modular application (I may dream, in the future,=
  =

to incrementally translate some part from C++ to Ada, as I hate when thi=
s  =

application crash with no back-track and runtime-check at all). Alex R. =
 =

Masteo already talked about CMake and Ada here, as I did too some time  =

before Alex. Ludovic replied to Alex using CMake is a bad idea. I  =

understood the reason he gave, but I simply would like it anyway, for  =

seamless integration, as this application has a build process all design=
ed  =

around CMake since long, and I would not want to change.

The sole material I could found about this topic, is an old mailing list=
  =

archive. I just made a test with a sample Ada project to see what's goin=
g  =

on using Make as-is, and CMake complained he could not determine some  =

linker language for the target application. So Ada is clearly not built-=
in  =

the default CMake.

Any track for using CMake to build a source tree containing Ada sources =
 =

mixed with C++ files ? I would probably rely on solely GNAT for the Ada =
 =

compiler, as it comes along GCC (this may help).

Have a nice time all, and happy designing
