We need to see your makefile to answer this. 

In addition, what version of GNAT are you using? 

You should probably be using gprbuild, not gnatmake.

To find out how to do a syntax only compile, execute "gnatmake --help" or "gprbuild --help" in a shell window under an editor and search for "syntax".
