hi @GaryScottMartin,

'gnat-gps' has been recently deprecated in favour of 'gnatstudio'.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gnatstudio

Regards.

Ok xiretza,

But I don't think my distro is broken, last week I have successfully rebuilt gnat-gps (2020-1) and all his dependencies and it works now like a charm.

Now, for upgrade its dependency gnatcoll-python to gnatcoll-python2 (required to upgrade gnat-gps to 2020-2) I did:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/gnatcoll-bindings.git

cd gnatcoll-bindings

env LC_ALL=C makepkg -si

End of the traceback:

I am considering to follow the Th3Fanbus advice to modify _gpr_opts in PKGBUILD from _gpr_opts="-R -cargs $CFLAGS -largs $LDFLAGS" to _gpr_opts="-R -cargs -fPIC $CFLAGS -largs -fPIC $LDFLAGS".

I can also live a few weeks with the 2020-1 version of gnat-gps...

@Armag67: again, I will not be trying to fix problems with broken distros (none of which have any privilege to be supported by the Arch User Repository), so stop wasting my time. As a general tip when trying to get help from the relevant sources though: run your programs with env LC_ALL=C [prog], attempting to manually translate errors is absolutely useless because they can't be searched for.

Hello,

The stable Manjaro distribution is 15 days behind Archlinux. As soon as gcc and gcc-ada were updated to version 10.1.0-2, I was able to update gnat-gps.

I uninstalled all its dependencies (gnatcoll-*, gtkada, gprbuild, gnatcoll-core, libgpr) except xmlada which I rebuilt, then I rebuilt them and reinstalled in the right order, and finally Gnat Studio works correctly.

But now I'm struggling to upgrade gnat-gps from the 2020-1 to the 2020-2 version. I can't build the gnatcoll-python2 (2020-3) dependency which should replace gnatcoll-python (2020-1).

It throws this traceback (in french):

My binutils are at the 2.34-5 version

Why is python2-jedi required?

I was able to build and install without python2-jedi (package does not exist anymore).

Hi charlie 5, Have you seen my post about my gprbuild troubles to build? https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gprbuild/

Hi @gbabin,

I've just added a desktop config file.

Thank you charlie5 for all the GNAT/GPS packages.

Could you please add a .desktop file to this package to launch GPS?

hi @troisqua,

I'm not sure of the best place to look for new features, atm.

The openGL support is missing from gtkada. I'd like to see it supported again as i enjoy doing a bit of GL. Perhaps when things quieten down a bit, i might have a look at it.

Hi Charlie5,

You don't have to apologize. I really appreciate your work. By the way, I can't find what are the new features of the 2019 version. Do you plan to fix the problem of opengl support which can't be installed via this package ?
