Download gnat for SPARC

Download gnat for SPARC

[Adrian Hoe]

Hi,

It's been a long time. I just acquire a Sun Blade 150 and have Solaris 9 
installed. Aprt from Sun C/C++ compiler, there is no gcc/gnat in the 
system. Where can I download the gcc/gnat compiler for SPARC Solaris 9? 
Has anyone packaged any such binary for download?

Thank you.

I notice that three copies of my (same) message had been posted. I don't 
know why Netscape posted three copies of my message. Sorry for the troubles.

I got three. Strange and perhaps it's because Netscape is not written in 
Ada.

Do you know where to download gcc/gnat for SPARC Solaris 9? I have 
exhausted all searches.

Have you already tried the one that claims it is compiler for Solaris 2.5.1
and run into problems?

I have used this on Solaris 2.6, 2.8 with no problems.

No I did not. Is it gcc3.3 or 2.x?

Re: Multiple copies of (Re: Download gnat for SPARC)

It is gcc 2.8.1. You can get it at either

ftp://ftp.cs.nyu.edu/pub/gnat
or
http://libre.act-europe.fr/GNAT/

If this works and you have some need for a gcc 3.X series you can then use
this compiler to bootstrap
from source the 3.X series compilers.

Unless you have need for some specific 3.X feature or just want to play with
a newer compiler version,
 I would stick with gnat-3.15p or consider getting one of the branches from
CVS at the libre.act site and
building from that.

The CSW effort for Solaris has a package for SunOS 5.8. It is although
based on GCC 3.3, but I'm using it for my development and have so far not
had any problems (mind you, I don't do any real-time stuff at the moment).
Even tasking seems to work under SunOS 5.9, odd as there have been reports
that tasking is broken in gnat when on SunOS 5.9.
The package supports Ada, C, C++, Java, Fortran, Objective C.

The URL is http://www.blastwave.org

The best thing is to follow the initial setup recommendations and use
pkg-get and wget to automatically download the packages and dependencies.
If you don't want to do that, you will need to download at least;
CSWcommon
CSWgcc3rt
CSWgcc3

It installs into /opt/csw/gcc3

I can't find gcc3 package in both SunOS 5.8 and 5.9. There is one gcc 
2.x....

gcc3 is listed in the package list but not in the mirrored ftp sites. 
Could it be under different name instead of gcc3...?

Thanks.

Odd, perhaps the mirror you are connected to has not synchronised yet.
My mirror at http://www.almroth.com/cswmirror/unstable does have the
packages though.
Just change the url line in the /etc/pkg-get.conf file to the above and
theory has it that it should work...

Oh, and I forgot one package dependency; CSWiconv (in case you download
manually).

Cheers,
Andreas
