I am using Ada and I expect the dedicated Ada tool to somehow figure this o= ut. Especially in a project where the source directory contains *only* Ada = files. Most importantly, this project compiled without problems on another platfor= m. 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=3Dgprbuild+no+languages+defined+for+this+pr= oject https://www.google.com/search?q=3Dgprbuild+libraries+are+not+supported+on+t= his+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 truste= d in multiplatform or long-term projects. Time to move back to Makefiles, perhaps? --=20 Maciej Sobczak * http://www.inspirel.com
