Re: gnat/rtems?

[Daniel Lange <lange92 at iscssun dot uni dot edu>]

Has anyone ever gotten gnat/rtems to compile? I followed the instructions
on www.oarcorp.com to the letter, downloading all the files (finding
gcc-2.81 was next to impossible) and decompressing all the files and
applying patches, etc. However, it looks like the page I was following was
written for setting up the C version of rtems, because it has certain
obvious errors...

the first one is that the email address for crossgcc@cygnus.com is wrong.
I just had to rewrite this message because it refused to send it through.
:(

http://www.oarcorp.com/rtems/betas/rtems-4.5.0-beta/online-docs/rtemsdoc-4.5-beta3/share/rtemsdoc/html/started_ada/started_ada00015.html
has no download site for gnat... I ended up searching for it with google.

And the files on OARcorp's site aren't where they are supposed to be, I
had to poke around in their ftp server to find the right files...

and the only place I could find gcc-2.8.1 (it's old now, 2.9.5 is out) was
on metalab.unc.edu.

I could be mistaken on this one, but I run a Debian linux system, and gcc
won't compile ada files, and doesn't recognize the -gnata and -gnatpg
options. I copied the ada directory and did the patch to gcc, and that
kept failing with an "Warning: Ada compiler not installed on this system."
so I hacked the Makefile and set CC= gnatmake, that generated the proper
.o files, but bombed out with a constraint error on types.adb.

I was attempting to use rtems-4.5.0-beta3a.tgz to build, but really I
don't think the compile ever got that far...

can anyone tell me what I did wrong?
