Installation problem in Debian 7: gnatcoll-gpl-2013-src

[Multiplayer1080]

Hello, good afternoon! I'm trying to install gnatcoll-gpl-2013-src  in my new laptop with Debian and i get this error:

configure: error: PostgreSQL not found

And postgresql is already installed in the system! I have tried with the following options:

./configure --prefix=/opt/gnatcoll --enable-gpl --with-postgresql="/var/lib/postgresql/9.1" --without-gtk

./configure --prefix=/opt/gnatcoll --enable-gpl --with-postgresql="/usr/lib/postgresql/9.1" --without-gtk

./configure --prefix=/opt/gnatcoll --enable-gpl --with-postgresql="/etc/postgresql/9.1/" --without-gtk

and nothing... The same error.

Anyone can help me?

Installation problem in Debian 7: gnatcoll-gpl-2013-src

I wish to find a Package API Postgresql that include all necessary source to connect to database without install something or make the build in my pc. I have used postgres in Java, and with just add the Jar API i have all necessary to use postgres. Why the libraries (eg. Gnatcoll) are not distributed in packages? any response will be greatly appreciated...

gnatcoll is not yet packaged for Debian, see
http://bugs.debian.org/640532.

In the mean time, you may want to try gnade (GNU Ada Database
Environment) which allows you to use PostgreSQL from Ada through ODBC.
Try this:

aptitude install libgnadeodbc2-dev

and look at /usr/share/ada/adainclude/gnade.gpr and the files under
/usr/share/ada/adainclude/gnade.

Hope this helps

Oh, I forgot the second possibility: there is a native binding to
PostgreSQL that does not need ODBC:

aptitude install libapq-postgresql3.2.0-dev

and look in /usr/share/ada/adainclude/apq-postgresql.gpr and under
/usr/share/doc/libapq-postgresql3.2.0-dev/examples/.

Hope this helps more.

hello. maybe you don't know me, but I've admired your work with debian for a long time . I've worked a while with libapq and  was just great, this time wanted to know how was gnatcoll just for curiousity. I appreciate that the same Ludovic has answered me. Thanks for the debianization!

Likely GNADE ODBC will not work on a 64-bit Debian (as well as on any other
64-bit OS).

GNADE is not maintained and AFAIK it was not updated to capture the changes
MS done to the ODBC API regarding 64-bit hosts. See here for detailed
description:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/298678/en-us

Actual ODBC bindings (in particular prepackaged for 64-bit Debian) are
here:

http://www.dmitry-kazakov.de/ada/components.htm#ODBC_Bindings

P.S. I wouldn't use native DB bindings even if available.

Hello! Stephet thans for your advice! The point is that I've worked with libapq (dev) and it works very well, the program has been working for months without  problems, this time i want to test gnatcoll to see if I used this tool and make my code more "portable" jejej. 

Dimitry, I can ask you a question?? Do you keep these updated packages without help or with friends? Do you do this for a company that sells libraries or passion? I think that is a very good choice to make my program portable, I'll take a look at your website.

Yes, but proposals, contributions, bug reports are welcome.

Regarding the DB the common approach to use it is IMO flawed. I have got
lengthy discussions on it, but the core issue is this. Ada's approach to
software design is that you say what you want and the language implements
that for you. In short it is high-level and abstract, which makes Ada
software portable, safe, maintainable etc. In the case of DB, people do
just the opposite. They strive to adapt the program to a concrete DBMS and
DB for whatever, usually wrong, reasons. It might be understandable if the
DB were given. But in most cases it is not so.

> Do you do this for a company that sells libraries or passion?

The license is GM GPL, so it is free, more free than pure GPL.

But, yes, the library is used in commercial products.

Hi Dmitry A. Kazakov. Good Day. I'm trying to use the SIMPLE COMPONENTS

odbc32 is the MS ODBC driver manager. Under Linux you should use unixODBC 
instead.

When you install a prepackaged version of Simple Components on Debian or 
Fedora these come with the driver manager is preset to unixODBC.

Since you seem to use sources, you should select the corresponding project 
scenario variable "odbc" in the GPS as "unixODBC". Because the default is 
"ODBC32", which is for Windows.

BTW, the folder ./test_components contains 

   components-odbc-odbc_bindings_tests.gpr

project. It performs extensive tests of both the bindings and the 
capacities of the DBMS and its driver you want to access.

Do not forget to install unix odbc, a driver for your DBMS (e.g. for 
PostgreSQL) and configure it (e.g. set up a datasource etc).

Out of curiosity, if not secret, what do you want to communicate over
ModBus?

[We are doing a lot of ModBus stuff]

Of Course! We are using it in a project with gensets. Modbus TCP/IP... What are you doing with modbus?

You'd probably need to "apt-get install libpq-dev".

HTH...

I just tried the same on Mac OS X, with GCC 4.8.0, and got this:

gprbuild -q -m -j1 -XLIBRARY_TYPE=static -Psrc/gnatcoll_tools
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "_version_string", referenced from:
      _gnatvsn__gnat_version_string in libgnatcoll.a(gnatvsn.o)
     (maybe you meant: _gnatvsn__gnat_static_version_string, _opt__tree_version_string , _gnatvsn__gnat_version_string )
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
gprbuild: link of gnatinspect.adb failed

which is because version.o is constructed at build time and is in the
compiler build tree. You'll probably be OK on Debian, because Ludovic
has separated out the critical version-specific parts of the compiler
into libgnatvsn.

I suppose I could not configure the project-related parts of GNATcoll.

The other package that needs similar treatment is ASIS.

Do you have the PostgreSQL devel package installed? That's probably
separate from the PostgreSQL runtime package.

If that's not it, read the config.log to see the exact test that failed;
that may give some hints.
