[Plplot-devel] Possible fix for the test_ada project on Cygwin

[Alan W. I. <ir...@be...>]

Hi Arjen (returning this discussion to the plplot-devel list):

Thanks for sending me (off list) the output from the

gnatmake -v hello.adb -cargs -fPIC -bargs -shared -largs -v -shared

gnatmake -v hello.adb -bargs -static -largs -v -static

commands on Cygwin.  Based on that information I have come up with the
attached local commit (prepared with "git format-patch") to workaround
(just for the test_ada project for now) the Cygwin Ada packaging issue
revealed by the first of the above commands.

Could you let me know if that commit works for you,
i.e., once it is locally applied with "git am" does

cmake/test_ada/scripts/comprehensive_test.sh

finally work for you on Cygwin?  Also, win or lose, I would like to
see the report tarball from this test.

Alan
