Hi Jerry: I have just tried this, but it does not work for me. gnatmake compiles x01.adb without problems, but it did not bind or link it. (I tried this experiment for the original source code you sent me before the reorganization that occurred in the CVS version just to be sure the problem was not an artifact of that reorganization) [EMAIL PROTECTED] gnatmake x01.adb gcc-3.3 -c x01.adb gcc-3.3 -c plplot.adb gcc-3.3 -c plplotthin.adb If I attempt to force it with the -b option, gnatmake generates the following error message: [EMAIL PROTECTED] gnatmake -b x01.adb gnatbind -x x01.ali error: x01.ali does not contain a unit that can be a main program gnatmake: *** bind failed. You should be able to easily verify this problem for yourself. If there is some simple change that can be made to x01.adb so that it is suitable for a main program please send it to me. I too would prefer to eliminate the separate driver programme for each example if that is possible. Two files per example is preferred to three files per example. Alan __ Alan W.

[...]Two files per example is preferred to three files per example. Hi Jerry: Never mind, I figured it out. (I had to remove the package body statements from the standalone versions). A side benefit is a spec file is not needed. Thus, we are now reduced to one standalone source file (x??a.adb) per example. I just committed all my changes to CVS. ctest --tests-regex ada works without run-time errors and creates postscript results (x01a.ps and x10a.ps) in the test subdirectory. x01a.ps is identical to x01c.ps (the equivalent C result) and similarly for x10a.ps and x10c.ps. However, that was because I replaced -plbox(bc, 0.0, 0, bc, 0.0, 0); +Box_Around_Viewport(TUB(bc), 0.0, 0, TUB(bc), 0.0, 0); If I use plbox rather than Box_Around_Viewport, then the result has extraneous tick marks. I don't understand the cause of this problem. The same example has a call to plptex with another character array, and that works without problems. I have also carefully compared how plptex and plbox are set up in plplotthin.ads, and I cannot spot anything. I also tried the TUB(bc) in the argument list for plbox, but the compiler complained about something being inconsistent before erroring out so I dropped it. This marks the end of the initial intense phase of my getting Ada supported under CMake for PLplot. We have made a good start, and the way forward is clear. * All developers should check the Ada aspects of the CMake build system on their platform of choice. Simply install the gnat extension to gcc (the gnat-4.0 package does this on Ubuntu Dapper), use the -DENABLE_ada and -DBUILD_TEST=ON cmake options, and run ctest --tests-regex ada after the make command. * Jerry needs to sort out the existing issues (plparseopts and plbox) with the thin API before we move forward with filling in the rest of the standard examples in the thin API (which may well turn up other API issues).
