Can you not use the compiler that installs in /usr/local/ada ? I know that it is a different download, but it will not overwrite the system's gcc (a bad idea and a reason I never installed the macada package in the past).

I assume you're referring to AdaCore's new(ish) GPL release? I've never been able to make it work, I had a really hard time actually getting through the sign-up process to get to the download page, and I think they're asking that no one mirror their tarball. Also, my understanding is that it doesn't adapt to well to varying versions of Darwin. It's supported on Panther Server. I'm still on Panther, so I'm planning on supporting Panther and Tiger.

If someone can solve those problems, then a version of 'system-ada' (I don't even know if that's a good name) can be written for ACT's GPL GNAT. I'm sick of wrestling with them, so it won't be me.

If you're not referring to AdaCore, then whose?

Best,
Ben
