I was just painfully reminded of what I really dislike about GPS and
these sort of IDEs in general. You cannot build a program! You have to
create a "project", then configure here, configure there. Total BS. It
completely ruined my class yesterday, about building and executing
Hello world! I will ditch GPS and call gnatmake upon Ada directly.
It's easier to learn and control and use. Unfortunately we loose the
baby (the editor) with the bath water (the "IDE"). I'll probably use
AdaGIDE. Thanks.
