With some additional help from Brad King I have now fixed this issue so that I can now build, ctest, and install-tree test PLPlot with -DENABLE_ada=ON for either CMake 2.4.8 or 2.6.0 without any 2.6.0-specific problems. The test_ada branch (which has a simple, self-contained project to test CMake Ada support) also works for 2.4.8 and 2.6.0 with the default static Ada library build or with the shared Ada library build that can be configured using the -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON option. Andrew (Debian) and Orion (Fedora) please go ahead and try Ada for your respective distro packaging efforts again. I think there will be a high probability that it works. The Ada language support has been the only cmake-2.6.0 issue for the PLplot build system that anybody has discovered so far. Since that is now fixed, I hope to bump our minimum version of cmake to 2.6.0 in the not-too-distant future to simplify our build system. Therefore, I urge all developers here to use CMake-2.6.0 from now on to make sure we are not caught by surprise by any other issue when we bump the CMake minimum version. Also, please routinely specify -DENABLE_ada=ON for your builds so that we find Ada build problems sooner rather than later. Jerry has been working hard at implementing a lot of the standard examples in Ada. Once those give the same results as the corresponding C examples (which should lend a lot of confidence to the Ada interface implementation), then we will set -DENABLE_ada=ON by default.
