- This is GNAT version 3.01 compiled as a.out binaries under Linux.
- It was compiled on Linux 1.2.8 with gcc 2.7.2 and libc-4.6.27.
- These versions of gcc and libc are required to use GNAT. The gcc
- binaries are not included here (except for the GNAT specific ones),
- you must get them from somewhere else - though the release includes
- usr/bin/gcc: this is required because important information used by
- gcc to recognize other languages has been removed from the base
- source code and is instead compiled in separately.
-
- The included usr/bin/gcc expects the gcc-2.7.2 lib files to be in the
- appropriate place, i.e. usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linuxaout (if necessary
- provide symbolic links from there to the real location on your system;
- I just kept the conventions from the 2.06 binary distribution to avoid
- superfluous risks). Unpack the archive in /usr to get the files to the
- correct places.
-
- This version was built with the a.out binary distribution for 2.06 (and
- the 3.01 source release, of course). It compiled without any problems,
- and the examples worked. Beyond that, I didn't yet do anything with it.
-
- I'll be off the net for several weeks starting at January 11th 1996, so
- don't expect me to fix problems during that time (you'll find the real
- experts on comp.lang.ada anyway ;-)
-
- Good luck!
