+# Ada4Hurd
+
+## Introduction
+
+Ada4Hurd provides tools and examples to ease Ada development in Hurd. It is at an early stage.
+
+### ada2def
+
+ * It is based on the [ASIS](http://libre.adacore.com/tools/gnat-gpl-edition/) standard
+ * It analyse an Ada specification and generates some .defs file
+
+### def2ada
+
+ * Using [opentoken](http://stephe-leake.org/ada/opentoken.html) it analyse a .defs file
+ * it can generate server skeleton
+ * it can generate a client library for easy connection to the server
+
+### xmladafs
+
+ * Mainly a translation of xmlfs in Ada
+ * write capabilities development is undergoing
+ * use [xmlada](http://libre.adacore.com/tools/xmlada/)
+
+### hello
+
+ * Hello World example translated in Ada
+
+### netfs_base
+
+ * Mainly a dummy translator to understand netfs mechanisms
+ * [[Some results of netfs experimentation|documentation/netfs_ada_results]]
+
+## Where to find the code
+
+ * Ada4Hurd is a [sourceforge](https://sourceforge.net/projects/ada4hurd/) based project
+ * Mercurial is used as DVCS
+
+ $ hg clone http://hg.code.sf.net/p/ada4hurd/code ada4hurd-code
+
+## Build the code
+
+ * Install the build dependencies as root
+
+ $ apt-get install gnat libopentoken4-dev libxmlada5-dev libasis2014-dev
+
+ * Build
+
+ $ cd ada4hurd-code
+ $ make
+
+ * Play with xmladafs
+
+ $ make trans_on
+
+ * Run netfs tests
+ * In netfs\_base directory

+For each supported `PF_*` protocol family (domain), there is a file `/servers/socket/N`

+`socketpair()` and friends use `_hurd_socket_server` to open them: the latter
+computes the `/servers/socket/N` path, then opens it with `__file_name_lookup`,
+and returns the result. Since those paths are translated (see showtrans on

new socket. With that socket, they can use the other `socket_*` RPCs and also

The network controller should be configured as PCnet-PCI II or PCNet-FAST III

+Note: If your Hurd image freezes on startup with "start ext2fs: ext2fs: device:hd0s1: No such device or address", then you may need to manually edit the hard disk controller to be "IDE", because VirtualBox defaults to "SATA" which does not work. Go in to the "Storage" tab and check whether there is an entry for "Controller: SATA". If the SATA entry exists and the Hurd disk image is attached to it, delete the SATA controller and then add a new hard disk under "Controller: IDE". Restart the virtual machine. The hard disk should now be accessible via an IDE interface and Hurd should start successfully and reach the login prompt. (This is the case on VirtualBox 4.3.28 on Mac OS.)
