The Ada compiler front-end of gcc is itself written in Ada. Consequently, an Ada compiler must be used to build this pkg. In pkgsrc, lang/gcc3-ada is version 3.3 of the gcc Ada compiler; it also requires an Ada compiler to build. This pkg may also be built using lang/gcc3 (which contains Ada). You can download a pre-built version this package (suitable for bootstrapping lang/gcc3) from: http://www.johnrshannon.com/NetBSD/ix86/gccAda-3.4.0.tgz http://www.johnrshannon.com/NetBSD/pentium4/gccAda-3.4.0.tgz http://www.johnrshannon.com/NetBSD/x86_64/gccAda-3.4.0.tgz The first two pkgs were built on NetBSD 2.0-BETA. The AMD64 pkg was built under NetBSD 1.6ZL. Full Ada language support is provided for: Intel Ix86 on NetBSD with native pthread support AMD 64 on NetBSD with native pthread support See comments in Makefile on selecting a bootstrap compiler.
