GNATStudio 23.0wb for macOS

Here is GNATStudio as a stand alone app for macOS 12.

Build GNATStudio.app

See the instructions which have produced the application on Blady web site: Install-GS-Quartz (text in French).

Get the app

• The app doesn't run on macOS prior version 12 due to dynamic library loader changes.
• Download and open the application DMG file.
• Copy the app in a local folder with your write access (for instance $HOME/Applications).

Important steps before launching the app

• The app is not codesigned, you'll perhaps need to delete quarantine attributes with xattr.

  xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine $HOME/Applications/gnatstudio.app

• The GNAT and GPR toolchains are predefined to GNAT FSF 12.1 e.g. /opt/gcc-12.1.0/bin. If you have an other location you need to change GS_GNAT_PATH and GS_GPR_PATH in Info.plist of the GNATStudio app. Take care that the Info.plist is cached so you have to put the Info.plist file in a dummy folder and put it back to the app folder. After running GNATStudio, verify the toolchain in menus help->about and build->settings->toolchains.

• This new GPS aka GNATStudio will create a new .gnatstudio folder in $HOME based on .gps if existing, thus to avoid some troubles I recommande to rename .gps the first time.
• The first launch may take a long time before the GNATStudio window appears due to some macOS stuff. If a window popup appears asking for acknowledgement to access your Documents folder then clic on button OK.

• In case of issues, I advise to launch the app for the first time in the Terminal to watch logs:

  % $HOME/Applications/GNATStudio.app/Contents/MacOS/gnatstudio_launcher

  or
  

  % open -a $HOME/Applications/GNATStudio.app --stdout=`tty` --stderr=`tty`

  Take care of you PATH contents. Keep your path list to the minimum. Avoid Python, MacPorts, Brew paths. With the first line, toolchains will be searched only in curent PATH. With the second line, toolchains will be search only in GS_GNAT_PATH and GS_GPR_PATH.

Known limitations:

There could be some limitations that you might meet. Feel free to report them on MacAda list. Any help will be really appreciated.
