Hi group,

I want to communicate with serial port in Ada. What is the best choice
in your opinion? GNAT.Serial_Communications? Where can I find any
documentation about this (GCC GNAT Reference Manual says nothing about
this)?

Did you try the GCC GNAT User's Guide or read the self-documented code
package GNAT.Serial_Communications?

I've gnat-gcc-4.3.0 (Fedora 9) and I don't have g-sercom.ads under /
usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/4.3.0/adainclude .

Am I something missing?

No Error! The standard GNAT system does not come with a Serial or UART
package. The package tree is a new addition (April 2008) so the
maintainers may not have this package yet or they may not include it
because it not apart of the Ada RM.

It might be included in June version of the GNAT-2008 package, but for
GNAT-2007 you will need to do a search and down load the set of files
that makes this package.

Note: you can find a copy of the serial communication package tree at:
http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs?view=rev&revision=134003

Then compile the set of files manually to create the serial communation
package. Now, you can either just copy and use then when you need this
package.

Note: If you know what your doing you can add the source and "*.ali" to
your GNAT system adainclude/adalib directories and the object files to
the "gnatlib" file.

I have got GNAT.Serial_Communications sources from GCC CVS, renamed
packages and I am trying to compile:

gcc -c serial_com.adb
