And still the Windows package for GNAT (+GPS) comes without AWS already installed.
The AWS installation breaks GPS (that is, after make install of AWS the GPS program crashes at the start). I had to reinstall GPS after that to get it working again.
And still I would like to encourage my friend on Windows to try AWS as a way to get introduced to Ada and I don't want to force him to install Cygwin. He has some website development experience and I'm sure that AWS would be a jaw-dropping show for him, but under one condition: It Must Work Out Of The Box.
Is it really so difficult to make more inclusive package for Windows users? Like, you know, so that the marketing phrase "Get started today!" actually makes sense? GPS already comes with some libraries prepackaged - why not the flagship AWS, which is a great way to preach Ada to newcomers?
(Still perplexed with the marketing clumsiness of the Ada vendors.)
