#16549: Ada support for GCC -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: martin.osx@krischik.com | Owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Enhancements Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Keywords: | Port: lang/gcc43 -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- The current lang/gcc ports are missing Ada support. Probably due to the fact that Ada is self hosted. Nothing wrong with beeing self hosted - I think every self resprecting programming language should have at least one self hosted implementation. But the tiny twist ist: you need an Ada compiler to compile Ada. But this is no problem on Mac OS X as [http://www.macada.org/ MacAda] provides a working Ada implementating. Once you got an Ada compiler you can always use it to create a new version of itself. The attached patch will use either the MacAda compiler (+macada) or and an allready created MacPorts GCC with Ada support (+ada) to create a fully working GCC with all it's languages enabled. I hope this patch is accepted. I also atteched a little command file which will create a dmg from the new compiler. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16549> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
