I mean the fact that ghdl-0.29+gcc4.3.4+dfsg-1.1 depends on gnat-4.4 which is not available in Debian jessie. This is a Debian specific issue, it is not an upstream bug. > I'm looking to build GHDL with the gcc4.8.2 release.

If you are able to make the upstream changes to GHDL needed to build with GCC 4.8 source, that would be an important step forward. > It would also be worth checking with Ludovic Brenta, the Debian Ada > maintainer, what the near term plans for Gnat are, (if 4.8.x is ready) > as it would be nice to finally get gcc, Gnat and ghdl back in sync. I believe gnat-4.8 is already available in Debian Jessie. I have compiled GHDL with GCC 4.8 and Gnat 4.8 without any problems (while still embedding GHDL in the GCC 4.7 source code). My first priority is to get the GHDL Debian package into the archive. The build process is somewhat fragile, so I would like to see that the current package builds correctly on all architectures before I make further changes. Any Debian developers here? <cricket> Joris.
