I don't know if it will help much - you might try emailing the author, who works for ACT. Alternately, GNAT should be part of GCC Any Day Now, and at that point, gcc@gcc.gnu.org will probably be an excellent place to get assistance. *** Subject: Re: Desirability of C++ Date: 05/24/2000 Author: Richard Kenner <kenner@lab.ultra.nyu.edu> In article <8g15c0$dpc$1@mamenchi.zrz.TU-Berlin.DE> bruns@tetibm2.ee.TU-Berlin.DE (Warner Bruns) writes: > I did try to cross-compile on an alpha running tru64. > But it doesn't work, since the bin-utils do not allow > the combination to be run on an alpha-tru64 and compile for > an alpha-linux. You actually don't need to do this. You can go up to the .s files in the cross-environment (see the gnat-cross target) and then do the assemblies on the target. > So: Ada and Linux are not a good combination on the Alpha platform. A faculty member at NYU (not part of the GNAT project) built GNAT for Alpha/Linux using the above method back around 1994; it's not that hard *** -- David Starner - dstarner98@aasaa.ofe.org http://dvdeug.dhis.org Looking for a Debian developer in the Stillwater, Oklahoma area to sign my GPG key
