  • Building GNAT-FSF on FreeBSD

    From William@21:1/5 to All on Sat Feb 12 21:09:54 2022
    Hello all,

    I did succed to build a modern gcc (with Ada-GNAT FSF) on my FreeBSD
    13.0 serveur. :-)

    Fernando Oleo Blanco was very inspiring to me (NetBSD porting), and I
    use Simon j Wright portings to MacOS for my Hackingtosh.

    So I decided to do it too !

    For now I did a quick try with plain gcc «out of the box» : (story short)
    1. Install gcc6-aux pkg from FreeBSD port (2014 -- Last Updated on
    2022-01-26). (see also http://www.dragonlace.net)
    2. get gcc 10.3 src from GNU.org and compile it with gcc6-aux (gnat
    compiler seems OK)
    3. get gcc 11.2 src from GNU.org and compile it with the just
    installed gcc/gnat 10.3

    In first place I thougth it would not be successful ...

    Now it's time to build) and run the ACATS 4.1y
    I took a look at Simon’s ACATS Testsuite on SourceForge, but I need to understand those automated scripts.
    I’d like to parallise a maximum of ACATS sub-projects in order to reduice time.

    WIP !!
    See you later, William

    The section "Testing in GCC" in the README tells how to run the tests
    within the GCC framework that allows parallel running. Note, you'll
    probably have to hammer C-c to abort a parallel run, the script doesn't
    respond well to that.

    I would have liked to get parallelising working, but those scripts! eww!

    See this thread: https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc/2018-July/226729.html

    I'm not sure, but I think that GCC/Ada folk regard the ACATS (2.6, I
    think) in GCC as more of a confidence thing (DEC used to call it an IVP, Installation Verification Procedure) than a full check.

    So, would you like to have run_local.sh quit altogether on C-c, or just
    quit the current test as it does now?
