Hi Orion: Thanks for your report of this issue for gcc 4.4. What happens if you change find_library(GNAT_LIB NAMES gnat gnat-4.1 gnat-4.2 gnat-4.3) to find_library(GNAT_LIB NAMES gnat gnat-4.1 gnat-4.2 gnat-4.3 gnat-4.4) in cmake/modules/ada.cmake? If that works, I will commit it. I considered your plea for a more robust method. You could have CMake run the gnat compiler after it has found it with the --version option to get a version string. That option works for the gnatgcc compiler, but I am not sure it works for all gnat compilers so you would have to deal with the potential situation where that option failed. Furthermore, there is no guarantee what the corresponding name of the library will be in all cases. Of course, from the above list you could make a pretty good guess from the compiler version string if that was available. So with some care I think you could certainly prefix the above list with a variable that would tend to work most of the time for future versions. I would be happy to apply such a patch if somebody wants to make this effort. OTOH, perhaps a simple list that we extend periodically as new versions become available is good enough for now according to the KISS principle. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
