I have been supporting an overlay with changes to the toolchain.eclass to enable Ada in sys-devel/gcc. I have sent mails to the dev-ml, this contains all the information required with links to the overlay and other information. What will need to be done is to remove the ADA_TARGET variable, the existing dev-lang/gnat-gpl package in favour of prebuilt bootstraps. Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 878599 [details, diff] Patch to add Ada support with bootstrap ebuilds.
Can probably close this old one https://bugs.gentoo.org/547358
i've recently started learning Ada, and have been trying to wrap my head around the current state of the Ada ecosystem in general, together with the current state of Ada on Gentoo in particular. i've created the Ada page on the wiki: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Ada to try to document what i've discovered/learned so far. This bug was brought to my attention by a post on forum.ada-lang.io: https://forum.ada-lang.io/t/getting-emacs-ada-mode-working/708/7 When first trying to set up Ada on Gentoo, as a newbie to Ada, i had no idea that gnat-gpl is deprecated upstream, nor that i couldn't simply enable the 'ada' USE flag on sys-devel/gcc to have an Ada compiler on my system. Consequently, this patch seems like a good idea to me. And i'd be happy to update the wiki page accordingly.
