Re: Compiling Ada from another directory

Quite possibly :)

We operate in a mixed source environment, and we've invested in using
SCons (http://www.scons.org) as our primary build tool.  SCons is
great with it's support with a variety of languages, however Ada was
never picked up (until now).  I'll try to not bore you with details,
but it takes much (if not all) of the "bind" functionality of ada, and
makes it available for other languages.  We're heavily invested into
it, and it's helped us out tremendously with our large project. (It's
really nice to touch one of our heavily depended files, and see a near
entire rebuild of our source tree, because everything is now out of
date).


I've gotten gnatlink to spit out the command line that it's trying to
use, by specifying the -v option.  However, I'm hitting a wall with
the bind file.


The "bad" lines are:
1: pragma Source_File_Name (ada_main, Spec_File_Name => "_build/
b~Bottles.ads");
2: pragma Source_File_Name (ada_main, Body_File_Name => "_build/
b~Bottles.adb");

When I try to compile it, I get:

gcc -c -gnatA -gnatWb -gnatiw -mtune=pentiumpro -gnatws _build/
b~Bottles.adb
b~Bottles.adb:1:61: directory separator character not allowed
b~Bottles.adb:2:61: directory separator character not allowed
