I have two further comments, one for you if you want to keep listening in on this thread if it continues, and one for the list:
I'm no expert on installation issues but I've managed to write a bash script that gets the job done (with an exception-- see below) on Macs. I'd be glad to share it with you or post it to the list so that it can get a bit of vetting. In the script, the value that I use for CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH is this: CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/ada-4.3/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple- darwin8/4.3.0/adalib:\ /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/lib/libblas.dylib:\ /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/lib/liblapack.dylib export CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH There's really no way to know this without asking around--this is kind of obscure stuff. The first path is to the GNAT library. The other two paths are to Apple's pre-installed numerical libraries, BLAS and LAPACK, which are necessary if you want to use the new vector-matrix capabilities of Ada 2005--otherwise, you can leave them off. FWIW, yesterday I tried to install PLplot from MacPorts and it failed with an obscure MacPorts-related error. I've joined the MacPorts list to see what's going on. I think you mentioned that the MacPorts installer never finished--FWIW, some of these installations can take hours. Finally (for the list), I have never succeeded in getting Ada to use Aquaterm to output PLplot stuff--the build always fails when I enable both Ada and Aquaterm. This is an issue that I have set aside to deal with other things. Some time back, Hazen Babcock suggested adding these lines to my bash installation file but I have not tried them: export CMAKE_Ada_compiler=/usr/local/ada-4.3/bin/gcc export GNAT_EXECUTABLE_BUILDER=/usr/local/ada-4.3/bin/gnatmake export GNAT_LIB=/usr/local/ada-4.3/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple- darwin8/4.3.0/adalib/libgnat.dylib export CMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/bin/gcc Jerry ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
