win32.ads not found error

win32.ads not found error

[LK]

Please help an ADA novice with the following issue

I'm trying to build a simple GUI example from AdaPower.com, the Hello World
Dialog from David Botton, with no success.

win32ada-gpl-2007 has been installed and yet, the compilation fails with
this error:

... file "win32.ads" not found

What way shall the compiler /GNAT + GPS GPL Edition/ be set up so references
to additional units are resolved?

Thanks,

Karl

The win32 package - which even comes with a nice installer.

Thanks for your answer. I had installed the package before I began with the
example.

Cheers,

Karl

Just set the variables ADA_INCLUDE_PATH and ADA_OBJECTS_PATH as shown
below where Install_Dir is the installed directory, normally GNAT, and
C is the hard drive.

set ADA_INCLUDE_PATH=C:\Install_Dir\include\win32ada;%ADA_INCLUDE_PATH
%

set ADA_OBJECTS_PATH=C:\Install_Dir\lib\win32ada;%ADA_OBJECTS_PATH%

If a project is used, just import the win32ada.gpr to your project. It
is normally located at C:\Install_Dir\lib\gnat directory. Good luck.

Well, that is the old fashioned way. The new way is to set ADA_PROJECT_FILE
to C:\Install_Dir\lib and then

with "win32ada.gpr";

in you project file.

This way is even cooler. I just forgot about it. Thanks for pointing
it out.
