In order to build this Ada compiler, you need
a working GNAT compiler (GNAT version 3.14 or
later, or GCC version 3.1 or later), including
GNAT tools such as gnatmake and gnatlink, since
the Ada front end is written in Ada.
pkgsrc/lang/gcc3-ada will work as will this pkg
To build:
1. Change ADA_BOOT_PATH in the pkg Makefile
to the directory for you Ada compiler.
2. Make sure ${ADA_BOOT_PATH}/bin is on your
search path and GCC_EXEC_PREFIX is defined
as the directory in which 'gnat1' is found.
3. If your gcc compiler front-end that understands
Ada is named something other than gcc, define
the environment variable ADA_BOOT_ADAC as the
full path of your gcc compiler front-end.
4. make
5. (OPTIONAL) Make test. This step requires
dejagnu. As part of test, acats, the Ada
compiler validation suite is run.
6. make install
NOTES:
1. This pkg can buid itself. You can run
make && make update to rebuild it.
2. On NetBSD systems with native pthreads, you
will have a full implementation of the Ada
language. On other platforms, you will not
have a tasking runtime.
