In case the file that you compiled is a main unit
(and if you want to rely on the GPS mechanisms to build
executables), tell GPS that this unit is a main file:
Build -> Project Properties -> Tab Main files.
(GNAT by default uses a one file <-> one unit correspondence.)

Behind the scene, compiling, binding and linking an Ada main
unit can be triggered by running

$ gnatmake your_main_unit.adb

(This would also create your_main_unit.o, among other files.)

The Getting Started chapter in Help -> GNAT -> GNAT User's Guide
is highly recommended reading, even if you intend to work within
the IDE.
