GPS-OSX

GPS-OSX is a modified version the GNAT Programming Studio for OSX. Compared to the version provided by AdaCore with GNAT GPL 2013, it provides the following enhancements:

  • It is built against gtk-quartz and thus does not need an X11 server to run.
  • You can use the command key as modifier for keyboard shortcuts. Because of this, its configuration files will be incompatible with AdaCore’s gps and will therefore be placed in ~/.gps-osx instead of ~/.gps so that the two versions do not interfere with each other.
  • It comes as an app bundle which can simply be dropped into your /Applications folder.

Important: gtk-quartz is considered experimental and you should not expect this binary to be stable. It also is in no way supported by AdaCore. Be aware of this before you decide to use it for any serious software development.

I host a readily compiled app bundle on my server:

This is built on the base of commit 6284098a177d2ba27050b84798fc163398c23e1f.

Please note that I do not plan to create stable releases. I just spread the latest binary I use myself here.
