AWS isn't really set up for use by rank programming newbies. In order
to understand the instructions, you really need to know the following:

 1)  How to tell your compiler where to look for source files.
 2)  At least the bare fundamentals of editing makefiles.

If you feel up to it, you can find out 1 by reading the Gnat User
Guide, which will be in an appropriately named program group in your
start menu. You can find out 2 by reading the GNU Make manual, which
is available online at http://www.gnu.org/manual/make-3.79.1/make.html
