Is it really neccessary to install GPS > for (comfortable) debugging? I'm not a great fan of debuggers and almost never use them. But yes GPS is quite capable when it comes to debug applications. If you liked GVD you'll probably like a lot GPS. Note that both are GDB frontends. GPS is also great to develop the application. I see that you are using AdaGide which is ok for simple applications and quite easy to grasp. GPS is certainly a bit difficult at first (do not forget to read the User's Guide) as it has lot more features but when you'll get familiar with it you'll love it too. As some of you know, I was a great fan of Emacs (and I'm still using Emacs from time to time), but GPS cross-references support is far more advanced than the Emacs one. GPS has also support for GNAT projects, codefix... I'm not going to list all the features, again have a look at the User's Guide. I still think that GPS editor is a bit less powerful than Emacs, but each new version gets better, so at some point...
