BuildRoot/GCC3.4.4/Ada Support

[Thompson Harmon [US], Stanley W.]

Adam,

   I am using Ada with buildroot and it works great!  To make it work I
set the "--- Gcc Options" under the "Toolchain Options --->" to the
following:

    GCC Compiler Version (gcc 4.0.0) -->
[ ] Enable setjmp/longjmp exceptions?
(--enable-languages=ada) Additional gcc options
[ ] Build/install c++ compiler and libstdc++?
[ ] Build/install Objective-C compiler and runtime?

Please note that the backspace/delete keys may not function when
attempting to add the "Additional gcc options" text.  If this is a
problem for you too, you can edit the ".config" file for buildroot, find
the "BR2_EXTRA_GCC_CONFIG_OPTIONS", and then set it manually to the
following:

BR2_EXTRA_GCC_CONFIG_OPTIONS="--enable-languages=ada"

Not only does this give me all of the gnatmake, gnatbind, gnatlink, ...
etc. tools, but I can also use gdbserver for remote debugging Ada
applications.


I hope this helps,
Stan

Hi,

I'm trying to enable Ada support with GCC 3.4.4 in BuildRoot.  I'm not
getting very far with it.  I have modified the gcc makefile to append
"ada" to the enable-languages configure option in both the Stage 1 and
Stage 2 GCC builds.

I've found that you need to enable C++ support with Ada, so I have gone
ahead and enabled that as well in the menu configuration.

I'm seeing a number of errors about Sed in the GCC-Final compile and
then the build fails.  If I take out the Ada support I don't get the Sed
errors.

I know that I can build gcc-3.4.4 for my host with Ada suport in it, as
I have done so a couple of times now. 

I went searching in the mailing list, but I don't see many posts about
Ada support.  Is there anyone out there who has built Ada support into
BuildRoot, including Gcc's version of gnatmake and other tools?

Thanks
A
