MingGW and AdaGIDE

MingGW and AdaGIDE

[Jeffrey Carter]

I downloaded MinGW (3.2.0) and also AdaGIDE (7.30). When I start 
AdaGIDE, I get a dialog saying that GNAT is not installed. Other than 
that, it works fine, and I'm able to compile and build from AdaGIDE. 
Does anyone know how to get rid of the irritating dialog?

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.
