You are building a DLL on Windows here. A DLL cannot (unlike a
shared object on UNIX) have unresolved symbols. In the worst case you
need an import library. But in this case, there's another way.

Somewhere in your GtkAda project file there should be the Linker
package and the Linker_Options defined. Those are necessary when
building a DLL on Windows. In our project files it looks like this:

with "gtkada";

-- ...

project My_Lib is

   for Library_Name use "My_Lib";
   for Library_Kind use "dynamic";

   -- ...

   case Common.OS is
      when "UNIX" =>
         null;
      when "Windows_NT" =>
         --  On Windows, we need to use GtkAda's Linker_Options to
         --  link DLLs depending upon GtkAda.
         for Library_Options use GtkAda.Linker'Linker_Options;
   end case;

   -- ...

end My_Lib

I hope, this helps.

Stefan
