Lab 2: AdaGIDE.

AdaGIDE is an easy to use Graphical User Interface (GUI) to create and build computer programs using the Ada95 programming language. AdaGIDE uses the GNU NYU Ada Translator (GNAT) compiler.

The interface is divided into five sections: the menu bar, tool bar, source file edit window, line and column indicator and goto button, and the message list.

To create a program select New from the File menu or tool bar and type away. AdaGIDE will automatically colorize reserved words in blue and comments in green. Once the program has been typed in, select Compile from the Run menu or tool bar. Any compile errors will appear in the message list. To go to the line number the error is on, double click on the error message. After all compilation errors have been resolved, the program is ready to be build by selecting Build from the Run menu or tool bar. After the program has been built it can be executed by selecting Execute from the Run menu or tool bar.
