When I was maintaining gcc, I asked multiple times for the maintainer
of GNAT to send me the necessary files, but I never heard from him.
It only takes 2 or 3 files being in the right place and gcc's
configure script will automatically include Ada support.  Fortran
support is already done in this way.

Re: g77 failure

1996-11-18 Thread Mark Eichin
The Ada package as shipped from NYU includes a replacement gcc binary
for the matching release; I was going to avoid the problem by shipping
it as ada-gcc instead of the redirected gcc (I didn't really expect
2.7.2.1 to come out, and 2.8 will have all the changes built in...)

The GNAT package has to match the gcc release anyway, so having the
patches in wouldn't have helped much -- 3.05 is still current, and
still requires 2.7.2 [3.08 was the last one mentioned as a release
candidate after 3.07 had some problems...]

  As I understand it, f77 wants gcc 2.7.2 and not gcc 2.7.2.1
 As a workaround I did now the following:
 
 cd /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.2.1/
 ln -s ../2.7.2/libf2c.a .
 ln -s ../2.7.2/f771 .
 
 I will now have to check wether it still works in all cases.
 Development team: Please consider if there shouldn't be a dependency
 between g77 and gcc versions, which shall be resolved by dselect.

That would stop you installing these two together at all.
A similar problem applies with GNAT Ada; it wants gcc 2.7.2, and in
fact replaces the gcc executable, so things don't go nicely
if you try to run gcc 2.7.2.1 + gnat 3.04 (well, 3.05 is out
but not in a package). I did mention this on the list a while
back and to the maintainer; I'm not sure what's being done
about resolving this, though.

GNAT supplies a new gcc binary because Ada support is disabled
in gcc 2.7.2's binary by default, and needs to be recompiled
with it enabled. Ideally, the GCC package will have gcc with
this enabled, and the GNAT package will not supply a gcc at
all. Hopefully this will happen for the next GNAT package version,
which is awaiting GNAT 3.06 (based on gcc 2.7.2.1).

I don't know the correct solution, but I just made a couple of
links.  And failed to keep a record of what I did.  I think it was this;

cd /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux
ln /2.7.2/f771 2.7.2.1/f771

and it looks like I did the same for libf2c.a and possibly the include
subdirectory.  Probably not the right way, but it works for me.

I should have made soft links.  Since I did hard links, I can't even tell
whether I made the link from 2.7.2 to 2.7.2.1 or vice versa.
