The GNAT Components Collection (GNATcoll) - Core packages

This is the core module of the GNAT Components Collection. Please refer to the documentation in the docs/ directory.

Code status

TBD

Dependencies

GNATCOLL requires a recent GNAT compiler. Building it also requires GPRbuild. GNATCOLL.Projects depends on LIBGPR library which is part of GPRbuild project.

Configuring the build process

The following variables can be used to configure the build process:

General:

  • prefix: location of the installation, the default is the running GNAT installation root.

  • ENABLE_SHARED: Use relocatable and static-pic libraries in addition to static ones (default is 'yes').

  • BUILD: control the build options: PROD (default) or DEBUG

  • PROCESSORS: parallel compilation (default is 0, which uses all available cores)

  • TARGET: for cross-compilation, auto-detected for native platforms

  • SOURCE_DIR: for out-of-tree build

  • INTEGRATED: if yes (default is no), consider that prefix is where the toolchain is installed and install GNATcoll in a target-dependent subdirectory. This makes it possible to install GNATcoll multiple times for the various compilers in the same prefix. Enable this only for cross compilers.

Module-specific:

  • GNATCOLL_MMAP: whether MMAP is supported (yes/no) default is "yes"; has no effect on Windows
  • GNATCOLL_MADVISE: whether MADVISE is supported (yes/no) default is "yes"; has no effect on Windows

To use the default options:

$ make setup

For example, to setup GNATcoll to install a debug version in /opt/libgnatcoll:

$ make prefix=/opt/libgnatcoll BUILD=DEBUG install

Building

Building all versions of the GNATCOLL Core Packages (static, relocatable and static-pic) is as easy as running make in the top directory. Then, to install it:

$ make install

Note that underneath, this Makefile uses a GPR project file: gnatcoll.gpr. You can build GNATCOLL using it with GPRbuild, but make sure to use the same command-line options.

Bug reports

Please send questions and bug reports to [email protected] following the same procedures used to submit reports with the GNAT toolset itself.
