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?
