      This is the Gnat 3.15p Ada compiler binary distribution for OS/2.
      =================================================================

It was built from gnat-3.15p-src.tgz available from:-

ftp://cs.nyu.edu/pub/gnat

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This software package is provided 'as is' in the hope that it will be useful
but with no warranty of any kind, implied or otherwise, as to its suitability
for any particular purpose.
Conditions for use assume the acceptance that the decision to use it is the
users responsibility and that no liability can be accepted for any damage or
data loss of any kind through the use of this package.

If you can not accept the above, then do not install it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

See gnat-3.15p-src.tgz for the conditions for further distribution. The only
extra request is that this package is distributed as is complete with this
file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The intention has been to build a working version 3.15p which runs under OS/2.
No attempt has been made so far to correct any problems with the original
sources or any OS/2 specific problems associated with the port to OS/2.

Requirements for use include emx9d with the Ada enabled GCC provided in gnudev
and gppdev and emx Fix 4.
Installation is by simply unzipping the archive into the EMX tree preserving
the existing directory structure.

The following environment variables should be set prior to use:-
set ADA_INCLUDE_PATH=?:\emx\gnatlib
set ADA_OBJECTS_PATH=?:\emx\gnatlib

The following may also be needed depending upon your existing setup/needs:-
set C_INCLUDE_PATH=?:/emx/include
set CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=?:/emx/include/cpp;?:/emx/include
set LIBRARY_PATH=?:\emx\lib
set BEGINLIBPATH=?:\emx\dll;

The exact drives and paths should be adjusted to match your environment.


It was built under eCS 1.0 GA, ie OS/2 V4.51, and also tested on OS/2 V4.0
with fix pack 12 applied.

Testing to date includes the successful compilation and execution of all the
examples and the successful compilation and execution of the Booch components.

The Booch components used were bc-20010819.zip, with a couple of corrections
announced in comp.lang.ada. There may well be an updated version available by
the time you read this.
The Booch components are maintained by Simon Wright and may be obtained from:-

I hope you find the package useful and enjoy using it.
