AdaCAST and GNAT

AdaCAST and GNAT

[Rick Maffei]

I know this may be not-quite-on topic for this group, but
a. I am unable to find any AdaCAST news groups (I am aware of
comp.software.testing but it does not appear to be very active).
b. Vector Software's home page is not very informative in the support
department.
c. the documentation, while descriptive and invaluable in using the
tool, does not provide much troubleshooting assistance.

Hopefully, someone here may have some insight to the problem we are
experiencing.  If not, please forgive my intrusion.

We are currently using GNAT 3.13a1 on a Solaris 2.7 platform and AdaCAST
2.4.  Our unit under test (UUT) is a child package (let us call it
Parent.Child).  When building the AdaCAST environment, we receive the
following fatal error during the linking phase:

gnatmake: "parent.child.adb" not found

My immediate reaction is "Of course parent.child.adb is not found.  The
file is actually named parent-child.adb per GNAT naming conventions."  I
searched through the ALI files generated in the AdaCAST environment and
I am coming across some references to parent.child.adb and also
references to parent-child.adb.  I tried...um...mucking about with the
ALIs by changing the parent.child.adb references to parent-child.adb
with no luck.  I also tried creating a parent.child.adb file (a copy of
parent-child.adb) and still no luck.

Have any AdaCAST users (if there are any) run across a similar problem? 
Any suggestions on a fix/workaround?  Everything works fine when the UUT
is a parent-level package.
