Thread: Ada GPL GNAT GPS

I'm posting this here on the off-chance that someone programs in Ada using the GNAT compiler - I can't seem to find any info on this problem online.

Whenever I try to compile a file, either through GPS or at the command line, I get this message:

Code:

gnatmake -u -c -u -PC:/GNAT/projects/ada_tutorial/ada_tutoral.gpr tutorial.adb -d 
gcc -c -I- -gnatA C:\GNAT\projects\ada_tutorial\tutorial.adb
gcc.exe: installation problem, cannot exec `gnat1': Invalid argument
gnatmake: "c:\gnat\projects\ada_tutorial\tutorial.adb" compilation error

process exited with status 4

I've got my environment vars setup properly (afaik) yet it can never execute that curious gnat1 - which I might add is not a program in the bin directory. Hmm.

Can anyone help me with this?

Are you sure MinGW ships with the ADA compiler?

I've managed to get it compiling now. The only problem is I can't seem to run anything. It compiles it to an .ali and .o file and if I use ld to link it I get all sorts of weird and wonderfull errors.
It doesn't matter I'm going to put off learning Ada for a while - I really haven't got the time or inclination with College work in the way too.
