One problem that hit me when building the gnat cross-compiler and building for the target is that the ada-libgnatvsn.diff patch breaks the ability to do so. That patch to src/gnattools/Makefile.in removes the gnattools-cross target for Debian. As a result I had to do cross-building of the gnattools form a non-debian patched gcc. This caused a lot of problems, which I did work around. Still, I think I'll file a debian bug about this problem. Is it much work to re-enable the gnattools-cross target? > See also /usr/share/doc/gnat-4.6-base/README.maintainers. I've read that, thanks. Maybe it should be updated, it seems to be from 2007. One thing that I did not find in the READMEs is that you should apt-get source gcc-4.x and then link the tar file to the gnat directory. Can this information be added to a convenient place, please. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
