In trying out a 'hello world' tutorial, I keep getting an error message of this sort:

Compilation started at Mon Jun 15 13:58:27

./hello_world
'.' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Compilation exited abnormally with code 1 at Mon Jun 15 13:58:27


the hello_world.exe program is there in the project folder. what am I missing?

I'm using emacs 24.2 with ada mode on win7.
