Ada Compilers

M. Mauny






1   On Unix

On acf5.nyu.edu, the simplest way to run the Ada compiler is to:
  1. make sure /usr/local/gnat/bin is at the beginning of your command path;
  2. source /usr/local/gnat/env-vals to have defined a few extra environment variables;
  3. given a source file hello.adb, get it compiled with: 
       gnatmake hello.adb
    This will produce an executable file called hello.
For more information on gnatmake, use the --help option.
For Linux users, the Gnat compiler is available for the major Linux distributions. Look at your favorite ftp site. (Note that executables produced by Gnat for linux on my RedHat 6.1 distrib don't work.)

2   Under Windows

There is a version of Gnat for Windows. You may download it from my machine:
gnat-3.12p-nt.exe
Execute the downloaded file, and the Ada environment will install by itself.
