Ada on Mac
in [ADA]

From: Maciej Sobczak on 19 Apr 2007 03:50 Hi, I tried to find what are the options for using Ada on Mac OS X. The archives of comp.lang.ada show only some old posts, so I hope to get some more up to date information after asking afresh. I have found the following: http://www.macada.org/compiler.html http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=132622&package_id=146743 Do you have any (strong?) opinions on these? Would you recommend something else? The objective is to have a free compiler for personal use. -- Maciej Sobczak : http://www.msobczak.com/ Programming : http://www.msobczak.com/prog/

The official site for Ada on Mac is macada.org but it is out of date and thus gives a poor first impression--the Mac Ada community is actually quite strong. There is a new "experimental" web site at http://www.macada.org/macada/macada/Welcome.html. **DO** join the mailing list which is very responsive. GNAT 4.2 and 4.3 are available as is a plug-in for Xcode, all in a proper Mac-style installer. Jerry

The package installed correctly (not counting the fact that I have downloaded the i386 package whereas the labels in the installation window were always PPC - this seems to be a label-only issue). The compiler works fine, but somehow I cannot link: ~/temp/ada $ gnatmake hello gcc -c hello.adb gnatbind -x hello.ali gnatlink hello.ali /usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols: __Unwind_Resume __Unwind_ForcedUnwind __Unwind_GetDataRelBase __Unwind_GetIP __Unwind_GetLanguageSpecificData __Unwind_GetRegionStart __Unwind_GetTextRelBase __Unwind_RaiseException __Unwind_SetGR __Unwind_SetIP collect2: ld returned 1 exit status gnatlink: cannot call /usr/local/ada-4.2/bin/gcc gnatmake: *** link failed. ~/temp/ada $ I have noticed that there is a separate toolchain, complete together with gcc, in /usr/local/ada-4.2/bin, so I have added that to my PATH (at the beginning). Still, the linker fails. Running gnatlink -v -v on the .ali file gives this output: ~/temp/ada $ gnatlink -v -v hello.ali GNATLINK 4.2.0 20060409 (experimental) Copyright 1995-2006, Free Software Foundation, Inc gcc -c -gnatA -gnatWb -gnatiw -v -gnatws b~hello.adb Using built-in specs.

I'm sure I've seen this problem on that list, but I do not know the solution since I haven't yet installed GNAT on my MacBook. If it has come up before, you'll get even faster response. Cheers, Ben

The missing symbols are in libgcc_s.1.dylib. Depending on your LD_LIBRARY PATH, you may have to specify the search path, too: gnatmake hello -largs -L/usr/local/ada-4.2/lib -lgcc_s.1 This is a problem in the 4.2 compiler; it's fixed in 4.3, but that has other problems; 3.3 is very stable, but a tad old:-) See also the mailing list archive: <http://hermes.gwu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0704&L=gnat-osx&D=0&P=3092>.
