Re: howto compile gnat included in gcc-3.1?

        Hi Marc :)

# Funny, I can find quite a few config logs under the build directory.
Yeah, but none related to gnat.

# Hint: try find . -name config.log -print, you'll be enlightened.
Right, enlightening.

# Like, gcc-build/gcc/config.log. Hard to find, heh ?
So what? see:
$ gnatbind
Usage: gnatbind switches lfile
.
.
.

$ grep -iE "ada|gnat" gcc/config.log
configure:1396: checking for gnatbind
configure:1461: checking for compiler driver that understands Ada

No error.

# Well, I'll admit that the mix of cygnus configure and gnu autoconf can
# be confusing at times, but come on ! Is it really the first time you've
# built something with recursive configure invocations ?
Dunno, so far, any source compiled that might have had recursive
configures did not fail.

# Read carefully what I wrote... did you see script(1) ?  If you don't know
# the script command, learn ! It's the most useful command one can use to 
# create complete bug reports.
# 
# First you run script.
# Then you run configure.
# Then you exit the shell.
# Then you look at typescript.

Ok, thanks; first thing I'll do: man read carefully ;-)

# Okay, so look for gnatbind as well. It's likely it's not in your path, and
# that's what killing the compilation.
See above.


Ok, now, I re-compiled and re-installed the glibc-2.2.5.
Suprise! This time after the configure-step there's even an ada subdir
in gcc-build/gcc! The Makefile in gcc/ada looks reasonable and the make
is in process. I'm really wondering whether it will compile gnat this
time. And I'm also wondering why re-installing the beloved glibc fixes
somehow that trouble-causing thing.. Don't acme why..
Do you have any idea?

        Greets and thanks,

                Nils
