You should understand that this is not an Ada question. This is a 
compiler question. Different compilers will handle this differently. You 
really should specify your compiler, compiler version, and host and 
target platforms.

 From your examples, I'm going to guess that you're using some version 
of GNAT, self targeted on some version of Windows.

Project files provide a simple way to specify that GNAT's compilation 
artifacts (.o and .ali) go in a different directory. A careful reading 
of the secret documentation (probably the GNAT Users Guide) will tell 
you about switches such as -I that give you further control over where 
it will look for things.
