Comments on: Ada Compiler (GNAT) Packages For Arch http://allanmcrae.com/2009/09/ada-compiler-gnat-packages-for-arch/ One day this will feature a witty tagline… Wed, 16 May 2012 13:51:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Allan http://allanmcrae.com/2009/09/ada-compiler-gnat-packages-for-arch/#comment-73 Allan Fri, 18 Sep 2009 01:20:53 +0000 http://allanmcrae.com/?p=201#comment-73 I am actually thinking of re-splitting the Arch gcc packages using the package splitting in makepkg. You can read about the reasons for joining them together <a href="http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2008-January/004074.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>. If I re-split them, I will probably include the gcc-ada package, but that requires clearance from other devs. And your sed line was very helpful. I had tried just doing a "gcc" to "gcc-ada" sed without the exclusion and compilation failed because of a too long comment line... Stupid language, isn't it?

It would be nice if GNAT was officially supported, and if gcc was split into gcc-java, gcc-objc, gcc-fortran... as it was before. I don't remember why gcc is unsplit, but is it relevant now that pacman supports splitting? I've explained on AUR how I build my binaries for i686 & x86_64. In fact they are just the gcc-ada packages stripped. And I took the first packages from Frugalware. Actually, these binaries have to match with the installed gcc version. So they were not really broken, just out of date. What else.. I've excluded comments from the global sed. This is not only for cosmetic purposes, but to do not produce lines too long. According to Gentoo ebuild, the style check could fail. Ask me if needed, I would be pleased to help you. Cheers, Florent Hi Allan,
