  • GNAT FSF

    From AdaMagica@21:1/5 to All on Thu Dec 8 08:39:51 2022
    In the past, I only used GNAT CE. Now that no new versions are provided, I'm gonna try to download the FSF version.

    The newest I found is in https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-12.2.0/ gcc-12.2.0.tar.gz.

    Is this the correct thing? I have yet to find a tool to open tar.gz (on windows, I generally use zip files).

    Now suppose I have successfully unpacked the thing. What is inside? How do I install it? Is GPS included?

    Thanxs for your patience and help.

    You can use 7zip : https://7-zip.org/

    You downloaded the source code of the entire GCC suite. GPS is not a GCC FSF thing, it's an IDE.

    Given your question, I think you will have hard time, you have to compile everything, and you need
    a bootstrap compiler in your system in order to do that. And you have to build Binutils first, plus an obscene
    amount of libraries.

    That being said, I strongly suggest to not build GCC on windows, it will take ages.

    You likely downloaded the source code, as other pointed out.
    Winzip usually handles tar.gz.

    This makes me think gnat is included https://github.com/jmeubank/tdm-gcc-src/releases

    and download is at

    https://jmeubank.github.io/tdm-gcc/articles/2021-05/10.3.0-release


    However - I did not try it myself.

    What you need is alire:

    Pretty sure there's a GNAT Studio for Windows around.

    The canonical homepage for alire is https://alire.ada.dev/

    The AdaCore CE installer installed core gnatcoll and gnat studio along
    with the compiler. gnatcoll is in alire, in several pieces; you'll have
    to install each one that you need (Unless you let Alire manage that for
    you).

    gnat studio is not (yet?) in Alire; installers are here:

    https://github.com/AdaCore/gnatstudio/releases

    You can either use alire to compile all your projects (recommended in
    the long run, but it's not a simple transition), or you can export the
    compiler to use it in a "normal" way:

    alr toolchain --install gnat_native=12.2.1 --install-dir ~/.local

    To export a gnatcoll piece:

    cd alire_stuff
    alr get gnatcoll_iconv
    cd gnatcoll_iconv*

    Then read alire.toml to find the main project file (ie *.gpr)

    alr exec -- gprinstall -P project.gpr --prefix ~/.local

    That does not result in a standard gnat install; the compiler is in
    different directories. So you'll need to move some stuff. I hope it's
    obvious what needs to be moved. (I don't do this, so I don't have a
    complete set of instructions).

    Tedious, which is why just using alire is recommended.

    On the other hand, it's easy to lose track of just how many components
    you are downloading once you get used to Alire (as with auto-downloading package managers for python, rust, ...).


    On my machine, gnat 12 from alire doesn't link on Windows (see https://github.com/alire-project/GNAT-FSF-builds/issues/43); apparently
    it does for some people. So please report back here if this works for
    you. I'm currently using Debian in a virtual machine.

    As announced on gitter (but _not_ in the github GnatStudio README, nor
    can you get here via the normal github interface, sigh):
