Hi,

I just can't see why GNAT can't do this without whining about trying to
recompile library sources. All I want to do is to create a simple
shared lib, the sources are scattered about in different directories,
different builds may use different files. I can create the lib fine,
but the test app won't link for various reasons.

I have the following directory structure:

adael/
adael/src/adael
adael/src/adael/common
adael/src/adael/generic
adael/src/adael/gtk2
adael/src/adael/linux
adael/src/samples/
adael/src/samples/test_app
adael/build/gnat/linux/
adael/build/gnat/linux/temp/
adael/build/gnat/linux/temp/debug/
adael/build/gnat/linux/temp/release/
adael/build/gnat/linux/debug/
adael/build/gnat/linux/release/

So that for a linux specific build all temporary objects go to temp,
executables, ali's, so's go to the debug or release in the linux
directory.

Can sombody please post an example makefile that can be used to build a
library and link the source to an example app without recompiling the
library source. I would prefer not to use project files if possible as
they just don't provide enough flexibility.

Thanks,
Luke.
