Re: MingGW and AdaGIDE

[Alfred Hilscher <SPAM@alfred-hilscher.de>]

Hi Jeffrey,

AdaGide looks for the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ada Core
Technologies\GNAT". If it cannot access this key, you get the message
"GNAT not installed". So in your case it is possible, that you either do
not have this registry key or you are not privileged to access it.
AdaGide uses it, to find the GNAT binary directory to add it to the PATH
environment variable. As in many cases the PATH already includes the
"...GNAT\bin"  this is not really needed for correct work. 
So check  your registry, and - if not correct - correct it, or -
otherwise - simply ignore the message. Maybe later versions of AdaGide
should check if the binaries are already in the PATH.
