That would be nice if you tried it again. This is what crossed up Bruce and I so badly when we tried to get it working last time. As it turns out (and is clearly stated in the GCC docs), to build Ada you *must* bootstrap using an Ada-aware gcc (like GNAT or a previous build of gcc that includes the Ada compiler). To save some time for you, here's a tip. If at the very beginning of the make process (within about 5 minutes), if an ada directory is not created in the gcc subdir of the gcc-build tree, abort the process 'cause it isn't going to build the Ada stuff. One nice thing about the 4.0.x version of GCC is that you no longer have to build the Ada libs and tools separately now. It is all built my just running 'make (bootstrap)'. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 15:57:00 up 171 days, 15:30, 3 users, load average: 0.00, 0.02, 0.08 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
