HAVE_ADA_2007 is quite different from ENABLE_ada. You don't have to specify -DENABLE_ada=ON anymore because it is ON by default (and turned off automatically if our build system cannot find a GNAT compiler on your system). HAVE_ADA_2007 ON or OFF simply specifies two different ways to build the Ada bindings and examples depending on whether your Ada compiler is ADA 2007 compliant or not. (I am not sure that is the right terminology because my google searches for Ada 2007 didn't turn up anything much, but according to the wikipedia article there was a big Ada standards update for 2007 so I am pretty sure compliance with that updated standard is what Jerry means by this terminology.) By default HAVE_ADA_2007 is turned OFF because not all Ada compilers have this capability, but it does work for GNAT version 4.3 (which is the one I have on Debian testing). I considered making a test for compliance with ADA 2007, but I decided not to since I expect all Ada compilers will become consistent with this updated standard in the not too distant future. When Jerry judges the time is right, we will set HAVE_ADA_2007 to ON as the default. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
