I am extremely interested in this ticket http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16549
to add Ada support to gcc. My particular situation is that I need an Ada 2005 compiler (which means gcc 4.3) which runs on PPC hardware under OS X 10.5. (My need relates to the fact that I have written Ada bindings to the excellent PLplot plotting library but I still work on one of the last PowerBooks which is PPC.) I already have a functioning Ada 2005 compiler running on PPC under 10.4.11 so I have the necessary bootstrapping required to build the new compiler. I believe that the process would involve building the new compiler while running 10.4.x and then installing 10.5.x while maintaining /opt. I'm not sure how to encourage faster attention to this ticket except to "vote" with this post. Many TIA, Jerry _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
