Hi :-)
courtesy Oliver Kellogg,
i'm officially the new RAPID maintainer :-)
i would like to know if there still exists some RAPID users :-)
i also would like to know if there are some users of other platforms
than Unix or Windows who would like to use RAPID, even if it doesn't
work until now.
i see that GtkAda supports at least Solaris/sparc platform, in addition
to Unix and Windows,
but if no one is interested i won't waste time on a specific portability.
tell me :-)

I'm on Windows and Solaris and Linux here, we might get Macintosh from long-term visitors.

One such possible nicety would be a universal administration tool, another would be a data-management/-analysis tool for visiting scientists, another possibility would be decoupling several control-programs (codebases in everything from C to VB to C#) used to operate the instrumentation here from their host-systems and increase portability.

But interested, and having a nice cross-platform common-UI would make things a lot nicer for some prospective software-upgrades at work.
One such possible nicety would be a universal administration tool, another would be a data-management/-analysis tool for visiting scientists, another possibility would be decoupling several control-programs (codebases in everything from C to VB to C#) used to operate the instrumentation here from their host-systems and increase portability.

not sure to understand all what theese tools are doing,
do you think that you understood what RAPID does,
and that it could help you to make all UI of theese tools ?
i would like to ask you to try to compile RAPID and test it,
before i need to ask you:
- if you have a subversion client.
on Linux it shouldn't be a problem.
that's only for the time you want to test my patches, you needn't it for
public versions.
for the other platforms you should be able to copy the code internally,
from the Linux one.
- which kind of graphical toolkits are available, on each platform you
need to run RAPID (or what it will have generated).
i don't think it's important your tools are currently using the same
toolkit than RAPID, if you plan to re-do UI from sratch, but i may be
wrong.

Hm, I see... it might take me a bit to set up a linux computer for such use; we have training for new personnel and the computer I would use is time-shared with operations, so I'll have to make sure the system is free when I want to do things.

I'm not entirely sure about the full set yet; the most-used UI for the system is a Java program, run under Solaris.

Perhaps I should explain: where I am we have a system that was grown over the space of 30 years, portions are custom programs, portions are things like cron-jobs.

the important point is the subversion client.
you may find it for your platform, or you may create a virtual machine
on your computer, with Linux as guest.
if it's too dificult, i can send you zip files instead.

ok.
is it required to continue to use Java UI via ada, or are you able to
replace it by any available UI ?
currently, RAPID knows only GtkAda (2.24.4 for the moment) and Tash.
but it is designed to easily add more graphical toolkits.
there was a peer for java.
i removed it because it was made for Ada-Java Interfacing Suite, which
is not free, so I can't afford to maintain it.
but if you need it, it's easy to recover what i removed (then if you
need my help i'll need an access to your computer)
i think there was a peer for a Windows-specific graphical toolkits too,
anyway we can imagine it.
if you create a virtual machine, you can use ubuntu 16.04, it's the one
i currently use to maintain RAPID, so it has the right version of GtkAda

please :-)
* Solaris
for me, Solaris is obscure,
but Wikipédia says it's an Unix operating system, so it is UNIX
could you confirm to me that access to the filesystem is like Linux,
please ?
this way, nothing special to do with filesystem for Solaris :-)
Gtk may look&feel a bit special, like on Macintosh, but nothing avoiding
to use it.
* Windows
as far as i know, Windows is not UNIX, and the access to the filesystem
is *not* like Linux
there was a fix here :
http://svn.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/rapid?view=revision&revision=147
i want to improve "access to the filesystem" management, using
Ada.Directories rather than "&" and GNAT.OS_Lib.Directory_Separator.
the big problem I have, is that i can't test the result on Windows
because i don't have it, so i can't know if, doing that, i revert this
fix ...
before i detail it more, tell me if you're available to help me.
maybe you know, via your experience with ada on Windows, what i need to
know without needing to test it :-)

Right, it could even be a Windows 7, rather that Windows 10. GUI stuff

is fully compatible.
There are lots of old licenses from dead machines people re-sell on
ebay. MS frowns on this, but AFAIK it is legal, at least in the EU it
likely is.
P.S. If you want to support 32-bit Windows as well, you will need GNAT
Pro or else stick with a very old GNAT GPL edition. The old GNAT GPL is
just fine, unless you wanted newer Ada 2012 toys...

but it doesn't work on my old mac, it's an OVA, and my VirtualBox 4.3.40
does support only OVF.
anyway it's not sure it would have worked, since with ubuntu it makes
kernel panics since ubuntu 18.4
hopefully i should change my computer soon :-)

In article <s5begs$3ri$1...@gioia.aioe.org>,
more generally,
i don't want to test my software on a platforms list as long as possible.
i want to conceptually make it as portable as possible, and then i hope
users will report bugs,
this way, i'll be able to enhance portability :-)
the specific problem i have, is that there was already a fix, and that
it wouldn't be fine to revert it while improving other thing ...
that's why i hope someone could help me just for this fix, even without
looking at my software :-)
