Gnatmake uses Apple's gcc by default

[jarimatti@…]

After installation the gnatmake uses Apple's gcc (4.0.1), which does not have Ada. The workaround is to pass parameters via the command line (or via other means).

Would it be possible to make the gnatmake use the gnat-gcc compilers out of the box? Or at least output a note when installing that you need to do this?

Sample call and output:

% gnatmake hello.adb 
gcc -c hello.adb
i686-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1: hello.adb: Ada compiler not installed on this system
gnatmake: "hello.adb" compilation error

Sample call with compiler defined:

% gnatmake --GCC=gcc-gnat-4.3 --GNATLINK="gnatlink --GCC=gcc-gnat-4.3" hello.adb
gcc-gnat-4.3 -c -gnato -fstack-check -gnatE -gnaty hello.adb
gnatbind -x hello.ali
gnatlink hello.ali -fstack-check --GCC=gcc-gnat-4.3

Hello,

as with all MacPorts gcc compiler you need to install gcc-select and use sudo gcc_select gnat-gcc.

But a post-install message would indeed be helpful.

Hi,

A-ha! Error spotted between keyboard and chair. I installed the port gcc_select, chose the gnat-gcc compiler and everything works fine.

Thanks!

A note has been added to inform the user to use gcc-select after activating the port.

I'm getting a configuration error when trying to port install gnat-gcc. I have dependancies installed so idk what the issue is. Thanks.
