The adainclude subdirectory containing the sources of the GNAT run-time library, and the adalib subdirectory containing the ALI files and the static and/or shared GNAT library, are located in the gcc target-dependent area:
target=$prefix/lib/gcc/gcc-dumpmachine/gcc-dumpversion/
As indicated above, on some platforms several run-time libraries are supplied. These libraries are installed in the target dependent area and contain a complete source and binary subdirectory. The detailed description below explains the differences between the different libraries in terms of their thread support.
The default run-time library (when GNAT is installed) is rts-native. This default run time is selected by the means of soft links. For example on x86-linux:
$(target-dir) | +--- adainclude----------+ | | +--- adalib-----------+ | | | | +--- rts-native | | | | | | | +--- adainclude <---+ | | | | +--- adalib <----+ | +--- rts-sjlj | +--- adainclude | +--- adalib
If the rts-sjlj library is to be selected on a permanent basis, these soft links can be modified with the following commands:
$ cd $target $ rm -f adainclude adalib $ ln -s rts-sjlj/adainclude adainclude $ ln -s rts-sjlj/adalib adalib
Alternatively, you can specify rts-sjlj/adainclude in the file $target/ada_source_path and rts-sjlj/adalib in $target/ada_object_path.
Selecting another run-time library temporarily can be achieved by using the --RTS switch, e.g., --RTS=sjlj
