DONE as of revision 11101. > Good to hear. I'll check out the problem with adathick but possibly > not for 2-3 weeks as I'm planning to be away for a while. Actually, there is no problem with adathick (except that something in our mailpath wrapped the text summarizing the perfect test results in a funny way that lead you to believe there was an adathick error). So that leaves two remaining issues from this mini-project which I hope you will deal with after your break. (1) The documentation needs updating consistent with these changes. >From my previous post on this issue: <quote> softw...@raven> find -type f |grep -v .svn| \ grep -v '~$' |xargs grep -l HAVE_ADA_2007 ./doc/docbook/src/ada.xml ./bindings/ada/README.rtf ./bindings/ada/README ./cmake/modules/ada.cmake All of those except ada.cmake are documentation. </quote> (2) Please try the PLplot build and test system with Ada to make sure it works for you on Mac OS X. You mentioned you were currently using some specialized build system instead, but that doesn't help us find PLplot build-system issues for the combination of Ada and Mac OS X (if those exist) and also doesn't allow you to run our usual Ada-related tests on Mac OS X. Thus, I hope you are willing to keep trying the PLplot build and test system with Ada on Mac OS X and reporting back any issues you encounter. My impression is we don't have that many testers of the Ada bindings and examples for PLplot on Mac OS X, and that platform has a large number of configuration possibilities in any case considering all the fink and macport possibilities as well as the various possibilities for official Mac APIs (cocoa, carbon, etc.) so we need every tester we can get for that platform especially for less popular languages like Ada. For the same reasons I would appreciate others here with access to Mac OS X to always include Ada in their tests (especially after such a comprehensive change as the current one which touched virtually all Ada files).
