None of these are likely problems with the distribution, but they are things that might also cause trouble for typical brain-dead downloaders like me. so I'll share my results. 1. First, there seems to be some trouble between make and the copy commands in the gwindows/bindings/makefile. I'm using the 3.77 version of make that was recommended at one time as the one to use with gnat, IIRC. Is there a newer or better one that will work better with this makefile? To deal with this: a. I replaced 'copy' with 'cp' wherever "copy" appeared in any mkefile and made sure that the cp commands all had an explicit destination. Note that backslashes have to be doubled, ie \\ instead of \ for use with cp, and you have to have cp installed. It comes with some distributions of unix utilities for windows. b. attrib also acted up in the makefile. IDK why. It seems to have fixed itself. I think I changed some of the attrib commands to CMD /C "attrib ... ". Note that the entire attrib command is enclosed in double quotes. This at least kept the makefiles from crashin. I hope it worked. 2. You've got to have the most recent version of GnatCom installed first before installing GWindows. An older version won't work. 3. You've got to set the ADA_INCLUDE_PATH: I've set ADA_INCLUDE_Path=L:\Ada\Gnatcom\Bindings;L:\Ada\Gnatcom\Tools; This is where Gnatcom is installed on my machine. 4. It also looks like the makefile calls some perl scripts, so you should need to have perl/bin on your path. Al
