I'm currently taking the first of two Ada95 courses, and would like to be able to do the work at home. I bought CodeWarrior for an intro C course that I took last quarter, but I'd rather not have to go right back out and buy another compiler. So far, though, it looks like the only options are Unix-on-top-of-Mac-based, and that they are far from free. The only two solutions that seem to fit the bill are the GNAT compiler/translator running in Tenon's MachTen or the new CodeBuilder (but even that's gonna be $100), and the MkLinux OS being developed by Apple (actually, I'm just assuming that, since it is a Unix-like environment, you can develop Ada programs with the supported GCC stuff, but I don't even really know exactly what "GCC" is...) For starters, I guess that there's no fully-Macintosh way to develop Ada programs-- you have to do it in a Unix environment, right? With that said, I guess the GNAT/MachTen/CodeBuilder would do the trick, but I can't see talking Dad (that's where the funds come from, you see... :) out of more money when I just bought CodeWarrior a couple of months ago. The MkLinux option sounds like it would work, but, while this is free, it requires a minimum of 300 megs disk space, which I would have to purchase anyway. So, I guess my biggest question is: Have I missed any other possibilities and is there a simpler way to implement the two (GNAT and MkLinux) solutions above? Thanks for any help and info that you can provide. L8r, Fred P.S. I don't suppose there's any way to make use of my CodeWarrior investment while learning Ada...?
