2.6. Programming Support Environment

LEON Ada includes a tool to automatically compile and recompile a given Ada program. It runs the Ada compiler as necessary to build a given program, while enforcing the Ada rules about dependencies among compilation units.

In addition, the programming support environment consists of the standard GNU/UNIX software development tools, which provide configuration management, automated program configuration and construction, automated regression testing, and much more.

We recommend the Bash shell since it offers conformance to the POSIX standard, and supports command line working. Bash is not included with LEON Ada, but is available from any GNU site.
