Depends on the Gtk version. Normally, you get the packages and install
them. That's all.

For Windows the latest public GtkAda + Gtk is in the GNAT GPL 2014.

Is Ubuntu a Debian clone? Then you install Debian's Gtk and GtkAda
packages.

Make sure you are using same Gtk version on all platforms, because Gtk 2.x
is incompatible with Gtk 3.x. [ GNAT GPL 2014 comes with Gtk 3.8. ]

Check if the project refers to gtkada.gpr or the corresponding one of the
installation. Antique versions used gtkada2.gpr, if I correctly remember.
GCC 4.6 is pretty ancient for Debian. Should be 4.8 if not 4.9 already.
