AWS install problems
Hello,
I'm trying to install the AWS package so that I might try eMail access from an Ada program,
I'm using GNAT/GPS 2005 under Sidux 2009-4
I apt-get to installed the various GNAT AWS files from the Debian repository without problems, however when
trying to access the AWS functions I encountered a few problems.
Note: I have setup the two export variables thus:
brett@sidux94:~$ export
declare -x ADA_INCLUDE_PATH="/usr/share/ada/adainclude"
declare -x ADA_OBJECTS_PATH="/usr/lib/ada/adalib"
I also included the
/usr/share/ada/adainclude

Error when running gcc from GPS
Using GPS GPL Edition.
GPS 4.2.1 (20080115) hosted on i686-pc-linux-gnu
GNAT 4.3.2
I have only just started using GPS.
I created a directory Adaproj in the home directory
and requested the default project to be put there.
It now contains the files main.adb, test.c
and default.gpr.
The file main.adb compiles, links and runs
without problems. It is a small self-contained test
program. The second file test.c does not
compile and the following error message appears:
'Could not locate executable on path: gprbuild'

what is the relation of root_integer , universal_integer and Integer

I am getting different explanations from different sources,
what I have understood is
root_integer is a special definition type , it is not root of

Web browser in Ada
There are discussions from time to time, since very long, about
writing a Web browser in Ada.
The main idea would have a safe browser.
Actually today's issues about security in Web browsers remarkably seem
of the same kind as ten years ago, just a bit more frequent and acute.
Did someone give a try ?
I guess the following libraries would be considered:
- AWS, for the HTTP requests
- GtKAda, for a portable GUI
- the least possible bindings and the most possible Ada code for
decoding images and other contents

Ada.Containers Hash function for a set of small integers
Hi Folks,
I'd like to use the generic Hashed_Maps container to store mappings
from a set of small integers (three) to Wide_Strings
(Indefinite_Hashed_Maps):
(1, 10, 4) => "ABC",
(10, 3, 5) => "XYZ",
Does anyone have recommendations on how best to implement the Hash
function for keys like this?
Take care,

gnatmake problem
Did anybody experienced weird problems with linux gnatmake (gcc-gnat
version 4.4.3-4). The problem manifests itself when dealing with a cifs
volume (mounted share). gnatmake sees no files there. When I type
$ gnatmake x.adb
I get:
gnatmake: "x.adb" not found
$ gcc -c x.adb
works. The gnatmake from GNAT GPL 2009 sees files as well.

Autoconf & gnat Help Needed

libz9_la_LDFLAGS = -static -version-info 1:0:1

How to access this package written in C?
I am working on software that manipulates SQL databases via a GUI. It
is written in C or C++ without classes and compiled on Linux. Would
also want it to run on Windows eventually. This software has
essentially one entry procedure:
int guidb ( int appno , int recaddress ); // in C
which returns an outcome as an int, takes an int appno which specifies
application and an address of a record in recaddress. The latter is
used for passing the memory address of any recordtype variable and is
cast to a byte address inside guidb.
guidb uses appno to locate field-offsets and length of

So far I've found the ARM in several formats, but none of them can be

type String_Type array(Integer range <>) of Character;
I am looking for some sound Ada ('05) advice on
a design issue, concerning strings.
In my basic interpreter, I permit the end user
to choose the array subscript ranges just like
in Ada.
But this includes strings, whereas in Ada one
generally just uses the String type, with
its positive subscript values.
I would find it convenient in the interpreter to
use a string type with an Integer range for Basic
string variables instead:
type String_Type is
array(Integer range <>) of Character;
This allows subscripts to range negative to
positive. The reason for this appr

X := X; Compiler Warning?
This weekend, I discovered a problem after some
effort in debugging. The culprit was something
stupid like this:
Position_X : Line_Index := ...
begin
loop
..
Position_X := Position_X; -- whoops
..
exit when ...;
end loop;
Obviously, that should have been coded as:
Position_X := Position_X + 1;
As outlined here, it is trivial to spot.
But with the longer variable names (in the original
code), I somehow missed it in amongst all of the
other statements.
Now isn't this something that is normally reported
as a warning? I'm using gnat, so

How to exit a loop with keyboard input
[Sorry for the cross-post.]
I have a loop which is doing a repetitive calculation. Sometimes the
loop runs a long time and I want to manually cause the loop to be
exited but have the program continue running, for example to save some
results to a file or do other calculations. Preferably I would just
hit a key or key combination.
I thought Get_Immediate would work (reading Cohen's book) but it does
not do what I want. For example, the following program stops looping
and requires me to hit RETURN even if I hit another key first. It
continues looping (very slowly) if I hold down the

Spark 9 & Ada 2005
Hi Everybody,
This problem is intended to people who know Spark.
I'm trying to compile the Spark_IO.adb file using -gnat05 option, but
there is an error.
The error is :
spark_io.adb:196:42: (Ada 2005) cannot copy object of a limited type
(RM-2005 6.5(5.5/2))
This is a restriction of Ada 2005, and I saw in a message of last year
saying that Spark_IO is not compatible with Ada 2005.
Is it still the case ? However, the Spark Pro version 9 considers Ada
2005 features.
Does anyone know about this problem ?

This, unfortunately, is a highly contentious question. Over the years,
literally hundreds of high-level languages have been developed. However, few

It's the 'test' file that i am using - it's inside the

GPS and assembly language files
I'm trying to create a standalone (run on the bare metal) program for
a PC using GPS GPL 2009. Obviously, I need an assembly language file
(to setup the stack and transition the CPU to 32-bit mode), which
would then call my Ada main entry point. Is it possible to have GPS
compile and build this? I cannot figure out how to tell GPS about my
assembly language file.

ANNOUNCE: Evex 0.50, Evaluation Expression for and in Ada
Evex is a full-featured run-time expression evaluation library providing
a variety of built-in mathematical and string manipulation operators and
functions. A variable table is maintained for the storage and retrieval
of the results of evaluated expressions. New functions can be defined at
run-time using the #define built-in function and then subsequently
invoked. More complex or application-specific functions, or those
requiring higher, natively-compiled performance can be implemented as
part of the user's application and then registered as an Evex function.

Ada and Time Zones?
Hi Folks,
I'm trying to find an Ada 2005 solution to displaying the current time
in another time zone
and it does seem like I can do it using only the Ada.Calendar
packages. E.g., if running
in California, how would I determine what the time and date in Paris?
Simple UTC offsets
does seem to be sufficient as I would also need to know about Daylight
Saving Time
transitions. It seems the Unix zoneinfo functionality would need to
re-implemented in
an application to support this (or just call out the libc if running
on a Unix system)?
Take care,
Michael.

Trying to build Gnat on MACOSX 10.5 PPC
Has anyone had any success in building Gnat from the GCC sources on a
MACOSX 10.5 (Leopard) PowerPC machine?
I'm trying to build GCC 4.4.3 with Ada support, but so far with no
success. I have tried bootstrapping from the GnatPPC-4.3.dmg binary
from macada.org and also from the gnat-gpl-2009-43-powerpc-apple-
darwin8.11.0-bin.tar binary from gnuada.sourceforge.net, but both
result in the same error in stage 2 of the bootstrap process, ending
in:
