GNATWIN with GPL edition?

GNATWIN with GPL edition?

[randomm]

Hi guys, I was wondering if you can install GNATWIN on top of the GPL
edition.  I used to have 3.15p and GNATWIN and I don't see anything
like it for GPL.

Thanks.

Are you looking for Win32Ada? It is there...

Hi Martin,

I am trying to get started, and I remembered that GNATWIN had great
samples.  I didn't see any WIN stuff in the GPL examples.

I'm not sure what Win32Ada is...is that the equivalent of the GNATWIN
stuff?  Are there sample programs?

If you go back to the GNAT GPL download page there is an installation
package called Win32Ada - it has the Win32 binding and has examples.

Alternatively, as you want a native Windows library - get Claw
(www.rrsoftware.com) - it's a much better abstraction of the Windows API!

I couldn't find Win32Ada on the list.  Is GTKAda the right thing- or is
that something completely different?

It won't be listed unless you select Windows as your platform... there 
is a drop-down list for this.

GtkAda is a windowing framework that supports linux, windows, etc. But 
as you seemed to be interested in a windows binding, I offered Claw as a 
native solution.
