The GNAT Components Collection (GNATcoll) - Bindings

This is the bindings module of the GNAT Components Collection. Please refer to individual components for more details.

Dependencies

This module depends on the following external components, that should be available on your system:

• GPRbuild
• gnatcoll-core
• As well as relevant third-party libraries you need to build bindings for.

Building

The components of GNATcoll Bindings are built using standalone GPR project files. To build each of them you can simply do:

$ gprbuild -P <component>/gnatcoll-<component>.gpr

However, this method has several limitations:

• it builds one version of the library (static, relocatable and static-pic) at a time
• it might depend on the environment (C_INCLUDE_PATH, LIBRARY_PATH, ...)

In order to simplify that process, each component contains a Python script called setup.py. Each script provides the following subcommands: build, install, clean, uninstall.

On the first call to build, the user can setup some preferences. You can do setup.py build --help to get the list of available options for each module. After first call previous preferences will be reused unless you use the --reconfigure switch.

Note that you can perform an out-of-source-tree build by just invoking setup.py from another directory.

Installing

In order to install a given component, either call gprinstall or use setup.py script:

$ setup.py install --prefix=some_path

Note that if --prefix is not used, then projects will be installed into the location of the used compiler.

Bindings

The following bindings are provided:

• gmp
• iconv
• lzma
• omp
• python
• python3
• readline
• syslog
