Abstract
This article is an extract from the industrial presentation "Astronomical Ada" which was given at the 2017 Ada- Europe conference in Vienna. The presentation was an experience report on the problems we encountered getting a program written entirely in Ada to work on three popular operating systems: Microsoft Windows (XP and later), Linux (Ubuntu Tahr) and OSX (Sierra). The main problem we had concerned the implementation of the Graphical User Interface (GUI). This article describes our work using GtkAda.

Numerically-Intensive "Plug-and-Play" Parallel Computing
CLUSTER '01: Proceedings of the 3rd IEEE International Conference on Cluster ComputingAt UCLA's Plasma Physics Group, we have been successful in building and using a numerically-intensive parallel computing cluster using Power Macintosh hardware and the Macintosh Operating System. Our solution makes the problem of building and operating ...
Lessons learned from SUIT, the simple user interface toolkit
Special issue on user interface software and technologyIn recent years, the computer science community has realized the advantages of GUIs (Graphical User Interfaces). Because high-quality GUIs are difficult to build, support tools such as UIMSs, UI Toolkits, and Interface Builders have been developed. ...
A universal fast graphical user interface building tool for arbitrary interpreters
We consider the issue of implementing graphical user interfaces (GUIs): we present an easy-to-use and fast GUI building tool, specially designed to be used with interpreters. It supports a variety of communication methods and interaction models, ...
