GNAT 1.82 for Linux

GNAT 1.82 for Linux

[Gene McCulley]

I have compiled GNAT 1.82 on Linux using the 1.81 built by Johannes Waldmann.
I put it on sunsite.unc.edu in pub/Linux/Incoming.  I didn't do a very good job
of tarring it up.  I tried to do the same as Johannes Waldmann and Rolf Ebert have
in previous versions.  Please e-mail me if you find any problems with it.

Thanks Gene for preparing the 1.82 Linux release (at this stage Linux is
one of the most popular platforms for GNAT use from what we see). Sometime
in the future, we hope to support Linux here at NYU, but meanwhile outside
help such as you have provided is invaluable!

Incidentally, we are hoping to get a 1.83 out in the next couple of days.
There were a number of annoying little regressions that we have fixed both
in the compiler and in the release script (the switch to GCC 2.6.0 was
a bit of an earthquake, and now things should have settled down from that)

Can you at least continue the practise of putting the Linux distributions
into the pub/gnat directory on cs.nyu.edu.  It's much easier for those of
us that use GNAT on Linux to find it there.  sunsite is often a nightmare
to try to log on to.

Meanwhile, keep up the good work, both teams!

In general we will do our best to echo any versions of GNAT that we know
about. It is a good idea to send messages to gnat-report@cs.nyu.edu,
as well as posting to CLA, if you have a new port that we should put up!

And this is a good opporunity to again thank those who are generating
these additional ports.

GNAT 1.8? for OS/2 (was Re: GNAT 1.82 for Linux)

The latest GNAT README states that the OS/2 and DOS versions of 1.82 will be 
delayed until at least 9 September.  Now, with release 1.83 available 
in "the next couple of days," I wonder if the 1.82 version for OS/2 and DOS is 
still an issue or whether 1.83 will be the next release for OS/2.  I hope the 
delay between the sparc and source availability and OS/2 availabilty isn't a
permanent condition.  I don't think I can afford a Sun right now just to run 
GNAT.

The delay in 1.82 OS/2 version is a hopefully one time glitch related to
the new version of GCC. At this stage we will go straight to a 1.83
release, and hope to have them all out.

P.S. As usual, I remind that questions like this should ALSO be directed
to gnat-report!
