Re: gl.ali cannot be found, gl.adb must be compiled error...(AdaGide)

Certainly. AdaGIDE works with a local option system (the "gnat.ago" files scattered at different places). Finding sources is OK as long as local options are well configured, but for the .ali/.o files, it is more complicated: with the "in-place" (gnatmake: -i) option it is working as soon as a .ali file is already in the final object directory. But upon first build, it is not created there but at the source's place.
The project file system (GPS or gnatmake -P proj_name) has solved all these annoyances. Actually if you want to continue using AdaGIDE, you could have a reference to a single project file like proj_name.gpr in the local options and everything would be fine. But... there is a little obstacle for that (AdaGIDE would need a small adaptation).
