In case the developers on this list were curious about all my recent commits, I have been working on a test project that builds a simple Ada example. (My thanks to Jerry Bauck for supplying the Ada source code for this "hello, world" example.) The point of this project (isolated on its own separate branch at branches/test_cmake/test_ada test_ada) is for users to test my experimental CMake Ada language support on their various platforms. If you are interested in helping me by doing such tests, you should check out the project using
"svn checkout https://plplot.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/plplot/branches/test_cmake/test_ada test_ada" and build it with the normal cmake; and make commands in a separate build directory. Afterwards you should cd into the build directory subdirectory called src_executable and run "./hello" That executable should simply emit a "hello, world" message if everything is working correctly on your platform. Jerry, I would be particularly interested in whether this simple test case works for you on Mac OS X, but platform reports would be useful from others here as well. Currently, this simple test works (with one exception) for me on Linux (Debian testing) and with cmake 2.4.8. The exception is the "make clean" issue that Andrew Ross discovered recently for the PLplot version of our Ada support files. I have deliberately avoided using Andrew's workaround for this issue in hopes that I will be able to find a more fundamental fix. An interesting result of this test case is it _does not_ work yet on cmake 2.6.0. This means that our current PLplot Ada bindings and examples also will not work for cmake 2.6.0. Of course, once I get the "make clean" issue and cmake 2.6.0 issues fixed for my simple Ada test case, then I plan to port all the required Ada support file changes to PLplot.
