GPL 2007 and win32ada for windows

[Philippe Laval-2]

With the win32-ada-gpl-2007.exe contained in
gnat-download-2007-05-23.tar (for x86 windows), when I try to compile
any program I
get "fatal error: file win32.ali is incorrectly formatted
     make sure you are using consistent versions of gcc/gnatbind
         |
    gnatmake: *** bind failed.
    process exited with status 4".
I wonder if the gcc/gnatbind used in the windows distribution is
consistent with the GPS 4.0.2 (20061211) version in the .tar file?
(1st line of win32.ali reads :V "GNAT Lib v2007")

No one including me has any problem with this. In addition, this problem
has nothing to do with GPS.

With that said, it is obvious that win32Ada binding source did not
compiler with gnat-gpl-2007. Furthermore, the exact distributions are
gnat-gpl-2007-pentium-ming32msv-bin.exe and win32ada-gpl-2007.exe. The
solution is to make sure win32Ada binding for the previous GNAT should
be removed or exclude it in the PATH.

Hello

Maybe you already fix your problem, but we have the same kind of problem on a computer where desinstallation of gnat-3.15p was not correct.
Win32-ada (3.15) were still defined as an Ada library in the registry [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ada Core Technologies]
An other possibility was to use -nostdinc as an gnatmake option (to ignore registry settings)

Hello everybody,

Playing with GPS and the project file, i wanted to change the order in which
the values of a scenario variable are displayed. When i try to do it with
the interface, the generated configuration file contains errors (multiple
definition of the same variable). The only robust solution is to edit the
project file.

I also observed an (unrelated) problem with the file selection window: i ran
into a configuration where the display of the file and folder tree is very
slow (the program get stuck on the top of the file tree for minutes). Once
the first folder had been opened, there was no more problem with the
subfolders but the problem came again each time i tried to use the file
selector. Additionally, one of my installation (under XP) memorizes the
previously selected folder while another (under W2k) doesn't even after the
problem has been fixed.

The only way to fix the problem was to clean the preferences file in in the
.gps configuration folder.

By the way, is there a place where this kind of small bug should be reported
instead of sending a message to the whole community each time a one is
found?

Bugs should be reported to the gps-devel mailing list, with as much
details as possible to reproduce them from scratch (and with the
version of gps, gnat, ... used).

Note that this discussion is really off topic for this list, which is
about discussing the use of GPS, not issues with GNAT or win32ada
installations.

Hello,

I am using GPS 4.0.2 on WXP. It seems that the export function of the entity
browser has some flaws. In png format the graph often appears clipped or
wrongly centered. In svg, the produced result is badly formatted (i tried to
visualize it with Firefox and Inkscape with the same miserable result).

As an additional comment, this functionality will be much more useful if the
diagram could be reloaded from its svg/xml description (I know it is a minor
improvement for probably a lot of work!).

Thanks for your answer
