Here is a very preliminary version of GNAT Studio 2026.2a as a stand alone app for macOS.
NEW:
The GNATStudio launcher looks for a gnatstudio_launcher.rc file which support environment variables with the standard syntax VAR.action=VALUE with action is (append, prepend, set, unset, ifnotset), see exemple shipped in the archive.
See readme for details.
Limitation:
Ada Language Server has some latencies and doesn’t respond when parsing source code with more 1000 lines. It may be due to some compilation options I missed.
There could be some other limitations that you might meet.
Feel free to report them here.
Any help will be really appreciated to fix these limitations.
I had troubles making it run from the .app directly (double click or through the apps menu). It opens correcly if started directly with : ~/Applications/GNATStudio.app/Contents/MacOS/gnatstudio_launcher
So changed the default launcher with that, and then locally signed it: /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Set :CFBundleExecutable gnatstudio_launcher" ~/Applications/GNATStudio.app/Contents/Info.plist codesign --force --deep --sign - \~/Applications/GNATStudio.app
Works perfectly now. Thanks for this package
Much better development with GNATStudio than VSCode.
Normally, the Info.plist file shipped in the application already contains CFBundleExecutable set to gnatstudio_launcher.
Concerning signing, have you try and select Open contextual menu? On the first time, a popup will ask you if you really want to open it, acknowledge then the app will open normally with double click.
