Hi Jonathan, Hi List
So I have been trying for hours and have hit multiple dead ends. I was
not following along with the official instructions but rather ones I
found on other websites and ran configure inside the src directory.
The shortest and most official error using the proper instruction is
this configuration error:
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether ln works... yes
checking whether ln -s works... yes
checking for a sed that does not truncate output... /bin/sed
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... mawk
checking for libitm support... yes
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for suffix of executables...
checking for suffix of object files... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for gcc option to accept ISO C89... none needed
checking for g++... g++
checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... yes
checking whether g++ accepts -g... yes
checking for gnatbind... gnatbind
checking for gnatmake... gnatmake

checking how to compare bootstrapped objects... cmp --ignore-initial=16
$$f1 $$f2
checking for objdir... .libs
checking for PWL_handle_timeout in -lpwl... no
checking for version 0.11 (revision 0 or later) of PPL... no
configure: error: GNAT is required to build ada
and here are the specific configuration switches:
--prefix=/usr/Manual_Compile -enable-languages="c,ada" --disable-libada
I have gnat installed from my Trisquel linux repository(it's based on
Ubuntu) and I also have gnat-gpl installed and in my PATH but I am
getting this error when trying to build a trival ada program:
gcc: error trying to exec 'gnat1': execvp: No such file or directory
Here is the results of find:
: find /usr -name "gnat1"
/usr/gnat/libexec/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.5.3/gnat1
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gcc/i686-linux-gnu/4.4/gnat1
/usr/lib/gcc-snapshot/libexec/gcc/i686-linux-gnu/4.7.0/gnat1
Aquiring gcc with the -fdump-ada-spec option enabled is my motivation
for the manual compile.
Another list member was very helpful offlist and my unofficial build
bombed in /libjava/classpath but maybe I should leave this until later
after the official configure script issue is solved.
Thanks for reading-Patrick
