Here's what I tried, without success!
Installed binary kit GNAT ( gcc-2.7 ) from NYU. Note, this is a Windoze
build, not Cygwin (AFAIK).
Point $CC and $CXX at the GNAT gcc, also put that dir at the head of my
$PATH.
Try running configure & make bootstrap for gcc-3.2-1.
I'm not totally surprised that it failed, however I /am/ surprised at
how and where. The 'C' and 'C++' and 'F77' builds went pretty well.
However, the Ada test in configure ( Testing whether gcc understands Ada
.... no ). failed.
My first thought was "of course, it doesn't unerstand Cygwin paths."
But, if that were true it should have failed completely on C, C++, and
F77 as well.
SO, if Dockeen, or anyone, can point me in the direction of creating a
bootstrap GNAT it would be greatly appreciated.
TIA
