A critical issue with Ada is needing a suitable host Ada compiler installed to
build an RTEMS Ada compiler. I have not been building Ada as a tool set, I think
Joel and Sebastian have from time to time but I am not sure. I can take a look
but it is currently not high on my list of things I need to do.

Interesting. I was not aware of this web site or these scripts so thank you. To
the creators of these script the RTEMS 5 script has a hack to play with the RSB
configs. This is unfortunate because a ticket on the issue would have drawn my
attention to it and the possibility of a resolution in the RSB. Without feedback
these tools and RTEMS cannot be improved so I encourage you all to provide
feedback.
These scripts were last updated 8 months ago, a lot has happened since then on
the RTEMS 5 master.

I can see scripts for RTEMS 4.12 which is a dead end because it became RTEMS 5
and I see an RTEMS 5 script this is old.

Lets hope we can get you what you need.

Yeap.

This is something new I did not know about. I always recommend configuring RTEMS
with an absolute path when you are building it because the debugger will always
find the source without horrible debugger tricks but I have not done this for
GNU tools. The reason is the build and source tree are wiped out and if you use
a pre-built tool set from someone deploying RTEMS for you absolute paths become
an issue when debugging.
I wonder if this is still required for an RSB master build of Ada?

Did you try the master version from git.rtems.org?

I am sorry I do not know about this VM or what it is made from.

If you use the master branches for the RSB and RTEMS kernel then we can look at
what you are doing. For me heading down the path of past commits is not a
productive use of my time.

I agree there is not enough information and would welcome and review an Ada
section to the User Manual.
> Is there any chance to get a GCC with Ada support for RTEMS 5?
Yes, what happens in RTEMS is driven by users and what can be done is often the
result of the efforts of users. For example I have been busy this week fixing
Windows rtems-tool issues a GCI student aged between 13 and 17 has been
uncovering and reporting. It is fantastic to have this feedback, GCI is awesome!

I suggest you use master and report what you find. I also suggest you select a
host OS for example a Linux distro of your choice, FreeBSD etc and make sure it
is current. This lets us base line what you are doing. Please keep notes so you
can check to make sure our documentation is right.
I attach a script I use to build the tools and post the results to
bu...@rtems.org on a number of hosts. The list archive is
https://lists.rtems.org/pipermail/build/. Anyone can post build and test results
here as well as find what I, Joel Sebastian and others have building, on what
hosts, and which architectures.

You are right it can be frustrating. I took a look in the RSB manual in the
online docs and there is no section on this topic. I have created a ticket and
cc'ed you on it ...
https://devel.rtems.org/ticket/3629
I hope that is OK?

I am sure we can clear up what is needed and to get Ada better supported and
documented.
Thanks
