Hi,
I haven't touched Ada since the late 80s and I'd like to experiment with
it. I can't get gnat to install on Mavericks (10.9.2).
What is the correct location to install gnat to with the ./doinstall
procedure. If I use the default { /usr/local/gnat } I get all sorts of
errors - whether from a user account or an admin account.
Thx.

With sudo ./doinstall it worked. Wasn't clear from the readme...

You might find that you also need the OS X BSD command line tools
(GNAT uses the ld command, e.g.). See:

Done some time ago when I needed to get my Pascal compiler running after
the Mavericks install.
But thx.

Dear Alan,
You did not specify which version of GNAT you were installing. I suggest downloading the Libre GNAT 2013 compiler (darwin version) from the website: http://libre.adacore.com/
In addition installing XAdaLib worked great for me:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuada/files/GNAT_GPL%20Mac%20OS%20X/2013-mavericks/
Best regards,
Åke Ragnar Dahlgren

Hi Åke, as stated a couple posts ago, it's all fine now. I needed to
use sudo, that's all. That fact was not in the Readme that came with
the DL.
I used the gnat-gpl-2013-x86_64-apple-darwin12.2.0-bin from the adacore
site.
What I'd like now is a light IDE to work in. I'm trading e-mails with
the Lightweight-IDE author as it's not working there - he says I'm the
only person in a long time to ask questions about Ada for that IDE ...
if there is something else that isn't as insanely confusing as X-code,
I'd be real happy.
Cheers.

The command line and a nice editor like BBEdit?

That's approximately my current state.

I use Emacs + ada-mode; GNAT's GPS has a lot of features but I don't
often need to use them.
