- What is AdaEd?
- --------------
-
- AdaEd is an Ada compiler released under the GNU General Purpose
- Licence (see README file in this archive). All original sources
- for AdaEd 1.11.0a are available via ftp on cs.nyu.edu. I have
- provided replacement source files for any files that required
- modification for the Amiga platform.
-
- There has been a port of AdaEd for the Amiga available for some
- time now, however, I was unable to prevent it from having a
- software failure over just about any Ada source file.
-
- This port of AdaEd has been compiled with GCC 2.3.3 and hence
- requires ixemul.library version 39.45 or higher.
-
- Requirements
- ------------
-
- The compiler will require approximately 2-3 megs of space on a
- harddisk partition. I am not sure about minimum memory
- requirements, but I would guess that 3 meg ram will be
- sufficient.
-
- Installation
- ------------
-
- 1) Copy libs/ixemul.library to your libs: directory
-
- 2) Before running AdaEd, you must add the following lines to your
- startup-sequence (or otherwise execute the commands)
-
- assign ada: dh1:ada ; Replace dh1: with your device
- path ada:bin add
-
- 3) Set your stack size to AT LEAST 100000 for the shell in which
- you will be running the compiler. You will run into software
- failures very easily without this step! (If you have enough
- memory, it is best to add the line "stack 100000" to your
- s:shell-startup file.)
-
- See the file "ada.0" for compiler instructions. (Use "less" to view
- or install the file in your "man" directory for best results!)
-
- GOOD LUCK!
