I have been hesitating for another hot Sunny affair since the last one about three years ago. This is just another one I have been longing since then. The recent eclipse of Sun resurrects my overwhelming but sleeping desire. Although this happened near the time when Sun is setting, but it is never too late to do it again because Sunset is beautiful and romantic.

HOWTO – Installing gnat-4.3 on Mac OS X

October 4th, 2007 at 23:15 · Filed Under Ada, Call Me a Geek, Computing, Hacking, HOWTO, Mac OS X, Software Development · 4 Comments 

Perhaps someone has written this before but it seems no where to be found. So I just write a simple HOWTO about installing gnat-4.3 on Mac OS X.

My installation is on MacBook 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running Mac OS 10.4.10 with Xcode 2.4.1. Pre-requisition is to have Xcode installed before installing gnat-4.3.

  1. Go to MacAda.org to download gnat-4.3 and other necessary tools. Launch the installation in the disk image.
  2. Make the following softlinks: 
    
$ ln -s /usr/local/ada-4.3/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.3
$ ln -s /usr/local/ada-4.3/bin/g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.3
  3. Launch gcc_select: 
    
$ sudo gcc_select 4.3
