No, it's Linux.

urgent glide question

[Jan Prazak]

Hello,

I have found out that there is an IDE add-on for emacs, called glide. It
seems to be the only "good" IDE for gnat, since tia and grasp are very
user-unfriendly (and do not work correctly on my PC).

But there seems to be a problem when running terminal-applications (text
mode) under emacs/glide. Take a look at this simple example:

-----------------------
with Ada.Text_IO;
use Ada.Text_IO;

procedure LEdit is
S : String(1..20);
I : Integer;
begin
   New_Line;

   Put("Enter a string: ");

   Get_Line(S, I);

   New_Line(3);

   Put_Line("You have entered: " & S(1..I));
end LEdit;
------------------------------------------

When I execute it in emacs, it is shown in a separate window (below the
source code) (that's ok), but when I enter something and press enter,
nothing happens, the cursor just goes to next line. I have then to kill
the running program to stop it (because ctrl+c doesn't work). What's
that??? How to solve it? Is there a possibility to run all compiled
programs in a terminal (KDE shell)? (There it works.)

Thanks!
Jan

I think you have to C-c C-c (ie, ctrl-c _twice_).

(The version of glide I'm using may not be the same as yours, so there
may be some differences).

If you edit the Project file (Ada/Project/Edit) and select the Ada
Menu tab, there should be a section like

  Running the application (menu Ada->Run):	      [Help]  (run_cmd)
  [INS][DEL] cd ${build_dir}
  [INS][DEL] ${main}
  [INS]

If you change the ${main} line to     xterm -e ${main}

(or whatever your favourite terminal program is, with the flag to name
the program to run in it) and save the project file, you should find
Ada/Run (C-c r) runs in a separate terminal window .. well, it might
work!

That doesn't work, it just beeps.

OK, it works, thanks! But I had to edit the .adp file, because when I
changed the line under the Ada-Tab in emacs, and clicked on "save",
nothing has actually been saved (I don't know why). So I added the
following line to ledit.adp (that't the project name)

run_cmd=cd ${build_dir} && konsole -e ${main}

xterm would be ok, but I don't know how to change the colors there, and
black on white doesn't look good.

But there is still a little problem, after the program has finished, the
terminal window closes immediately. I think I will have to add some line
at the end of each program, which waits for a key-press. Or is there a
utility in Linux which does the same? Of course I could also write my own
one.

Happy coding!
