Is GNU Ada active?

Hi group,

I am interested in RPMs for AWS and XML/Ada packages. So I want to ask
if there are any prepared packages (Fedora 9) or some tips/pointers
(beside RPM How-to) how to build these RPMs by myself (and do
something for the community )?

There are rpm SPEC files for both AWS and XML/Ada inside the Subversion
repository. You could just try them out and come back with your problems
(or the finished RPM's)

What is the best way to set ADA_OBJECTS_PATH and so on during
installation in Fedora? Modify /etc/profile?

Ok, maybe it is "dumb" question, but I will risk:

I have done:
1. untar xmlada
2. configure and make in xmlada/
3. copied all *.ali into (for example) /usr/lib/xmlada
4. copied all *.ads and *.adb into /usr/include/xmlada
5. wrote small script a'la gtkada-config which prints paths to
libraries:
gnatmake sample -aI/usr/include/xmlada -iO/usr/lib/xmlada -largs -L/
usr/lib/xmlada

and... sample.adb builds fine, but with with lots of *.ali's and *.o's
in directory.

And my dumb question: how to avoid this?

Ok, maybe it is a "dumb" answer, but I will risk it:

What about reading the documentation on how to build and install XML/Ada?

Yes, I know, I should set ADA_OBJECTS_PATH and so on, but, in Fedora,
use of environment variables is discouraged. So I try GtkAda approach
with script.

Where are the *.o files?

In addition to having the *.o files available, you should write-protect the
*.ali files.

No you should use the project files and the documented way to build and
install XML/Ada:

$ ./configure --prefix=...
$ make

as root:

$ make install

You do not have to copy *.ali/*.ads/*.adb manually!

That last is a pretty amazing assertion---are you sure it's accurate?
I use a Fedora system, and I use environment variables the way I would
on any Linux or other Unix variant (I don't see how you can get by
without them). Who has said environment variables are discouraged,
and where? I mean, if I'm using environment variables but was not
aware that they could increase my risk of system problems or skin
cancer or warts or something, I'd like to know...

Try

http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/se...query=gcc-gnat

They have both source and binaries available for download for (Fedora 9).
Also you can choose from x86_32 or x86_64, or ppc.

"The Fedora Development for xxx" should be GNAT-2008, because they were
added on Aug 1, 2008, using gcc-4.3.1-6. The Fedora 9, version is
GNAT-2007 using gcc-4.3.0-8.

As for the environment variable the binaries RPM set those up for you. If
you build from the source, GNAT uses a the "configure" program, by adding
the command line option " --prefix=/...".
