gcc: GNAT is required for ada [work around]

RayDude · Last edited by RayDude on Sat Mar 16, 2024 4:39 pm; edited 1 time in total

I added the ada USE flag to gcc so I could build the latest version of blender.

I got this error during gcc configure:

"configure: error: GNAT is required to build ada"

Does that mean that ada should imply GNAT is required, or does the gcc ebuild need to change?

Update: gnat-gpl was installed, but needs updated. I'm emerging it now, I wonder if that will work.

i recently started learning Ada, and got confused by this as well. Refer to bug 919667, to which i was pointed by someone on the ada-lang.io forum.

Unfortunately that patch for ada-bootstrap didn't help with gcc.

I'm going to have to disable ada across the board and see if that works.

I forgot what package needed ada. It was the ghdl package. I used that for an interview and don't need it anymore so I removed it.

Problem solved.
