GNAT310

GNAT310

[BijanM]

Hello
I wonder if there is anyone that can help me.
I am a newbie in ADA95 and GNAT. I have
downloaded, ez2load from ftp site and have installed GNAT310 in the correct
directory.
The installer asks me to run gant310.bat to setup the GNAT310.
When I run this batch file I get the following message.
Out of Environment Space.
What should I do, and where have I gone wrong

Many thanks

GNAT 3.10p is old.  I suggest you try GNAT 3.15p fom
ftp://ftp.cs.nyu.edu/pub/gnat.  There are binaries for various
operating systems.

ez2load is even older and is not a complete Ada 95 compiler.  I
suggest you forget about it.

PS. The error you see is not related to Ada or GNAT; it is really a
DOS error.  It means that the batch file sets too many environment
variables, or that the values of some variables are too long.  DOS
(this includes Windows 95 and 98) has severe limitations in this
respect.  Check the installation instructions for GNAT, there may be
explanations on how to work around these limitations.

Before you do I suggest you get GNAT 3.16a

Go to my website  http://www.adaworld.com and go to the related links,
you'll see an ada download section, select teh 2nd option there.

You shouldn't need to change anything to your configuration this way.  I
didn't need too.

Since your new to Ada (welcome aboard :-).  and in the "Learning center" in
the Tutorials and Free books sections you might find some stuff of interest
to your learning .

If you really want to stick with Ada 3.10 then in your config.sys add the
following line

device=c:\windows\command\command.com /e:4096

his is where the enfironment space is set.  But I recommend you get GNAT Ada
3.16 and take it from there.

3.16a is for companies that want support. 3.15p is for normal persons
  :-)

I did that, and found 3.15p. Perhaps that is what you meant.

Incidently, I did not find "downloads" on your site map
(http://www.adaworld.com/sitemapmain.html); I didn't quite understand
your first instructions, and looked there.

Many thanks for the multitude of helpful tips. Download from your site
however remains elusive. Any further pointers please?.
Thanks once again

My understanding is that the official place to get the latest public
version of GNAT is

  ftp://cs.nyu.edu/pub/gnat

This is three links away from www.adaic.org, which (also in my
understanding) is the official Ada website.
