Windows NT Server v4 SP5. I just now executed (at home this time) gnat-3.13p-nt.exe followed by adagide-install.exe downloaded from its home site. I can execute AdaGIDE and locate and open E:\Common_Program_Files\gnat\examples\hello.adb. When I press the compile button, I get the message: Compiling... gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `as': Invalid argument Done--error detected. If I were to press the build button either here or with diners.adb open I find that I have started gnatmake but I still get that message and perhaps a "Text_IO" is not referenced. Was I supposed to have entered anything into Tools->GNAT options in current directory like locations for the compilers (and assembler) or just command line switches like the sparse online help indicates? How do I inform AdaGIDE to use JGNAT when I get its *path* and *environment variables* set as indicated in its *readme* file? Did I need to reboot? Same symptoms on two different computers now. Operator error? Thanks Pascal Obry wrote: > > John Kern writes: > > > I can't convince myself that I have (the student version of) GNAT for > > windows installed correctly.
