Re: Is there an installation guide for Windows GNAT?

[John Kern <jkern3@CORECOMM.net>]

No, I'd rather have the command line version (call me an old timer
defense programmer), but I will take the pretty colors.  On a fresh
install to a different computer, when I open cmd.exe and put the bin
directory in the path, and I go to the examples directory and enter the
command:
gcc -c hello.adb 
I get the message:
gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `as': Invalid argument

gcc --version    
tho, returns
2.8.1

The command:
make
(after trying to run /bin/rm -f *.o ...)
reports among other things
make (e=3): The system cannot find the path specified

gnatmake 
reports a dizzying list of options

gnatmake hello 
reports the invalid argument to as

as --version
reports the FSF info and the target of `i386-pc-cygwin32'

Any of this make any sense?

Thanks
