You must use 'with "win32ada.gpr";' in your project:

with "win32ada.gpr";
project Joystick is
   for Source_Dirs use (".");
   for Main use ("joystick_main.adb");
   package Linker is
      for Default_Switches ("ada") use ("-mwindows");
   end Linker;
end Joystick;

[ And you should never use absolute paths and just any paths to any
external directories. ]
