I'm working with FreeBSD 4.2 RELEASE; I'd upgrade to 4.3, but the usual
sites are still just selling "CD preorders", not actualy disks, and I can't
install from a preorder.


The directory /usr/ports/devel/ncurses/work/ncurses-5.2/Ada95 has a
"Makefile.in", but no Makefile was generated.  The top level Makefile,
/usr/ports/devel/ncurses/Makefile, has this line:

    CONFIGURE_ENV=  gnat_exists="no" ac_cv_path_LDCONFIG="${LDCONFIG} \
	-m ${PREFIX}/lib"

But gnat DOES exist on this machine; it's not clear why the Makefile
claims it doesn't.  I changed the line, but then make failed with this
error:

	:No such file or directory
	*** Error code 1

	Stop in /usr/ports/devel/ncurses/work/ncurses-5.2/Ada95/gen.


Hunting around, I found this file:

	/usr/ports/devel/ncurses/work/ncurses-5.2/Ada95/gen/Makefile

with this line:

	x      =


Further hunting turned up the same line (and the same error message)
in the `.../Ada95/samples' directory.

I can't tell anymore what hacks to make to get this to work.  Any help
is greatly appreciated.
