* GNU/Linux for ix86 (pc systems) (porting is necessary for other systems)
Procedure:
+* Check your Ada compiler. On some systems (or with some distribution), the
+ GNAT compiler seems broken. Try this very simple example, using file
+ example.adb
+<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
+procedure Example is
+begin
+ null;
+end Example;
+<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
+ Compile with
+ $ gnatmake example
+ It should create an executable, 'example'.
+ If this doesn't work, your GNAT installation is broken. It may be a PATH
+ problem or something else.
* untar the gcc tarball
* untar the ghdl tarball (this sould have been done, since you are reading a
