> Did you declare the used languages in the project file?

I am using Ada and I expect the dedicated Ada tool to somehow figure this out. Especially in a project where the source directory contains *only* Ada files.

Most importantly, this project compiled without problems on another platform. I remember not long ago (actually, this is a recurring subject) we have been discussing the advantages of Ada in the area of long-term maintenance and portability. Ada, the language, might have some nice features here, but gnatmake/gprbuild spoil this in a big way.

https://www.google.com/search?q=gprbuild+no+languages+defined+for+this+project

https://www.google.com/search?q=gprbuild+libraries+are+not+supported+on+this+platform

The above queries show that lots of people were having similar issues, for a long time, which means that gprbuild is not reliable and cannot be trusted in multiplatform or long-term projects.
Time to move back to Makefiles, perhaps?
