After adding a semi-colon at the following line in sdlada.gpr

  for Default_Swiches ("Ada") use ("-gnat202", "-gnata");

We have the following when trying to make again:

make SDL_PLATFORM=macos_ports SDL_MODE=debug
mkdir -p gen/src/
gprbuild -p -gnat2012 -XSDL_MODE=debug -XSDL_PLATFORM=macos_ports \
		-Ptools.gpr
Setup
   [mkdir]        object directory for project Tools
Compile
   [Ada]          gen_keyboard.adb
   [Ada]          scancodes.ads
   [Ada]          utils.adb
Bind
   [gprbind]      gen_keyboard.bexch
   [Ada]          gen_keyboard.ali
Link
   [link]         gen_keyboard.adb
./gen/debug/tools/gen_keyboard > gen/src/sdl-events-keyboards.ads
gprbuild -p -gnat2012 -XSDL_MODE=debug -XSDL_PLATFORM=macos_ports \
		-Psdlada.gpr
sdlada.gpr:16:07: undefined attribute "default_swiches"
sdlada.gpr:26:09: a variable cannot be declared for the first time here
sdlada.gpr:26:23: unknown variable "C_Switches"
gprbuild: "sdlada.gpr" processing failed
make: *** [lib/libadasdl.a] Error 5

I hope that this shows that I made mistake(s) that can be shown to me that I can fix or that this is clear regarding what still needs to be done for the SDLAda port to MacPorts...
