>I am interested in running GNAT (the GNU Ada Translator) under FreeBSD 2.2.2, >but it appears that your "ports" entry is quite stale ... GNAT is currently >at version 3.09 and the ports entry wants to download version 2.03 which is >no longer available from cs.nyu.edu ... (I have recently purchased Walnut >Creek's CDROMs for FreeBSD 2.2.2 and Ada ... and several others). ports-current (the latest port tree) has configuration for gnats 3.104-beta in databases/gnats. port tree included in 2.2.2-RELEASE is a snapshot in the past time, (when the 2.2.2-RELEASE was freezed) so it may not be very up-to-date. How to upgrade should be in handbook, but I don't have handbook handy right now. >Can you please tell me if you will be updating this information shortly, or >alternatively, do you know where I can obtain GNAT binaries for FreeBSD ? >I understand that GNAT's front-end is itself written in Ada and therefore >one requires a version of GNAT to compile it (or newer versions) from the >source code. Do you mean GNU GNATS is written in Ada? I don't think so. itojun
