Oh, it's worse than that. Some of these libraries in the "standard set" are= difficult [or virtually impossible] to build [in windows w/GNAT]. AWS in p= articular is a pain because it requires an additional subsystem [cygwin, mi= ngw, etc] to compile and install... and even then it's very frustrating bec= ause of how chancy getting a viable build/install is. (I've only done it on= ce, and I'm coming to be of the opinion it was by accident because I've *NE= VER* been able to do so since.) {Be prepared to hand-edit the auto generate= d/config files! There's a whole `nother load of fun for you!}
