Some Ada FreeBSD ports I wrote

Some Ada FreeBSD ports I wrote

[David Holm]

Hi,
I started learning Ada recently and was missing alot of bindings for some of 
my favourite libs. I started poking around and found a few interesting 
bindings and libraries.
I thought I'd learn how to write ports at the same time so I tried writing 
ports for the ones I wanted to use. Now I have very little Ada and ports 
experience so if anyone else here is using FreeBSD please try the following 
list of ports, constructive feedback appreciated.

ports/46410: New port: SGL - incomplete STL implementation for ADA95
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=46410

ports/46442: New port: Ada thin binding to SDL and OpenGL
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=46442

ports/46448: New port: adabooch is a Booch implementation for Ada95
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=46448

ports/46487: New port: cbind - Translator for "thin" Ada bindings to C
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=46487

ports/46505: New port: adabindx - an Ada-binding to the X Window System and 
*tif
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=46505

How easy is it to get GNAT's symbolic tracebacks running, in FreeBSD ?.

I.e. the "GNAT.Traceback.Symbolic.Symbolic_Traceback" feature.

A debugger is not always a good option.

Those documents would be ignored by the FreeBSD staff since at the bug site
and not reporting bugs.

The Bindx software available from its homepage does not contain the text "BSD".

    Ada bindings to "X window (and OSF/Motif or lesstif)": 


Linux loses a lot of data, so having FreeBSD (or Windows 98) run GNAT is of
interest.

Skipping the details on how Linux will erase all data, without asking if that
is OK, and while typically producing too many errors in a nearly erased partition
to "ext2ed" edit away, I note that Linux can be runs inside of VMware. Then if
there is a small underdocumented hang during a shutdown appears (and where the
program doing that is not named), then the largely destroyed (ext2) filesystem
can be rolled back to a point where the data still existed.
