In the past I have only built my own compilers from upstream sources, rather than "the Debian way".
Now I have found an issue with a Debian (but not upstream) Gnat build https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=749574 and thought to take a look at the Debian sources... ----------------------------------------------- apt-get -t testing source gnat-4.9 su ----------------------------------------------- apt-get -t testing build-dep gnat-4.9 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Selected version '4.9.0-1' (testing) for gnat-4.9 The following packages have unmet dependencies: gnat : Depends: gnat-4.6 (>= 4.6.4-2) but it is not going to be installed E: Build-dependencies for gnat-4.9 could not be satisfied. ----------------------------------------------- Now it seems that (having installed gnat-4.9) I shouldn't need to install a gnat-4.6 version in order to rebuild gnat-4.9 from source : so if you'll forgive a newbie question, what am I doing wrong here? - Brian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
