- Let me begin by saying that I am a real novice to Windows '95, but
- have substantial experience with DOS/Win 3.1, SunOS, and Linux. Here
- is my problem. I want to put the 32 bit version of the GNAT Ada
- compiler and the GNU C++ system on Windows '95 on my system "THE
- RIGHT WAY", what ever that means. To me it means I want to take
- full advantage of the GUI (drag-and-drop, point-and-click) to
- edit, compile, link, and run programs written in Ada 95 and C++
- using the GNU/GNAT software.
-
- I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who is working with either
- GNU or GNAT under Windows '95. Please email me directly because
- my news feed is over a week late and drops lots of messages.
- What I am looking for are two things. The first series of questions
- is about how you set up the environment, the second is how you use it.
- I will send a copy of the results of this survey, with observations,
- suggestions, and recommendations to all those who participate.
-
- 1. How did you interface the GNU/GNAT system to Windows '95? That is:
- a. After loading the system how did you execute the SETPATH?
- b. How did you link the execution of the compiler, linker, etc. to
- source files in the langauge?
-
- 2. With respect to software development?
- a. Which editor/word processor do you use to edit programs?
- b. What is your preferred method of invoking the editor?
- c. What is your preferred method of invoking the compiler?
- d. What is your preferred method of invoking the linker?
- e. How do you handle the passing of options to the compiler/linker?
- f. What is your preferred method of running a program?
-
- 3. On a grade of 1 (poor) to 10 (great) how would you rate your
- satisfatcion with the approach you took.

- Comments:
-
-
- I plan to do a similar survey for Windows NT in the near future.
-
- Please email your respnse to me because of my poor news service.

- Thanks in advance
