I need an Ada compiler, and I found out it's really not an easy thing to get.. I got some..
AdaGIDE v. 6.22.10
US Air Force Academy September 2, 1999.
It's really no appealing. Really. The IDE is worse than terrible, some old DOS based Borland Turbo C++ was more pleasant to work with.
I've spent at least two hours now trying to find something normal.. I found Minimalist Ada compiler, but Code::Blocks nor Eclipse don't seem to see it, and I didn't find any installation instructions either. It was surprising to see Code::Blocks actually did spot all my other compilers for C/C++.
I also found some Habachi project, an Ada plugin for eclipse which didn't work(not like it had a readme either, but putting it in to the plugins did nothing ).
I'm just out of ideas unfortunately..
And I need help
GCC has an Ada compiler. Are you using Windows? If so the automated MinGW installer should have a dialog where you check which compilers to install. If you have MinGW already it should be no trouble at all to install gcc-ada package.
AdaGIDE is not a compiler, it is an IDE which uses the GNAT Ada compiler (we used it when I was in school).
Here's some links that might be useful:
gcc has one called gnat

Thank you.. I have MinGW installed, and I did check the Ada box during the installation. However, I've no clue how to use it.. Also I need an IDE that knows Ada, preferably better than the above named IDE.
Append:
Obviously both Code::Blocks and Eclipse suit for that purpose, only that I need to let them know that they do.
Append1:
Put the DLL files in to CodeBlocks MinGW\bin folder, lunched- Ada didn't appear in the compilers list..
Maybe this

Sorry forgot to mention Libre(looks like part of gnatXXX) which doesn't seem to be free, or even have a trial download.. I really don't wanna pay USD500 to code four little projects to submit to the university..
The eclipse plugin is free.
edit: So is their GNAT Programming Studio IDE.
Sorry, I confused it..
It just doesn't give the download, and googling it gives just 3 pages as a result.
You're doing something very wrong.

Thank you.
I couldn't download it because I wasn't logged in(neither was I registered), and for some reason this error didn't appear on Chrome, I was simply not given the download and been getting a white blank page.
Tried it with Safari, got the error downloading now..
Downloaded & Installed AdaCode.
Thanks again.
