Maurice Castro has a port for GNAT-3.09. At his request, I modified it to make it build cleanly (so that it wasn't dependent on different GCC 2.7.2.1 source code repositories in different versions of -stable and -current). I sent it to Satoshi earlier this week, so hopefully it will be committed shortly. If you want to get started now, you can get the last GNAT-3.09 package that Maurice did at: ftp://ftp2.serc.rmit.edu.au/pub/maurice/gnat If you wish to use this to rebuild the port from source, I can make the port I sent to Satoshi available. > BTW - I've already asked ACT (Ada Core Technologies) about GNAT under FreeBSD > and they were most unhelpful ... just cross-compile it was their response! That's how I originally built it ;-) Dan Eischen deischen@iworks.InterWorks.org
