Package: gnat-6 Version: 6.3.0-10 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I encountered this issue on a newly installed system while performing basic ada programming, a simple hello world triggers the following situation. What led up to the situation? Installing gnat and trying to compile a simple hello world program: sudo aptitude install gnat gnatmake -gnatyy hello_world What was the outcome of this action? Here is the output of the above call to gnatmake: gcc -c hello_world.adb gnatmake: error, unable to locate gcc What outcome did you expect instead? Once my issue fixed, here is the expected output: gcc -c -gnatyy hello_world.adb gnatbind -x hello_world.ali gnatlink hello_world.ali What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? My first attempt was to tune the gnatmake command : gnatmake --GCC=gcc-6 \ --GNATLINK='gnatlink --GCC=gcc-6' \ -gnatyy hello_world Pretty heavy isn't it ? But this did the job. Then I figured out that the gcc package, which provides /usr/bin/gcc, wasn't present. Installing it also solve this issue. Anyhow, thanks for this package in particular and great job on debian in general !
