<<I am doing a port of a large Ada program whose sources are contained in

names. I have attempted to use the features of GNAT that are suppose to
handle this situation. Setting up a search path will work if the filenames
match the compilation names. And the gnat.adc will work if all the
sourcefiles are located in a common subdirectory. However, it appears the
both mechanisms do not play together to handle the case where such files
are located in different subdirectories. I get a compile error when
compiling a file which has a 'with clause' on a unit located in another
subdirectory.

Has anybody been successful with this problem without resorting to changing
all filenames to match unit names. There are many reasons why I do not want
to change the filenames. I am using GNAT3.09 on a Windows95 platform

These mechanisms work fine together, I do it all the time, and so do
a number of our customers. YOu must be doing something wrong, impossible
for anyone to guess what without more information.
