AdaGide cannot start compiler

AdaGide cannot start compiler

[Paul F M]

Hello I have just installed the GNAT on my computer, and when I try to
compile a simple file using the AdaGide I get the following error:

Unable to start compiler
Check path environment variable

Error Code: 2

The path C:\usr\bin is in my autoexec.bat.  It can't seem to find the
compliler.  Can someone tell me what the problem is? What is the filename
of the GNAT compiler executable?   I am using Windows 98, btw.

Thanks,
Paul

You don't mention which version of AdaGIDE you are using (see Help/About).
AdaGIDE gets a path from the registry in:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\AdaGIDE\ToolPath (use regedit to see this).
On my machine, that is set to "c:\usr\bin"

This should have been set when you installed.  If you installed AdaGIDE
separately, this is described in the readme during the installation process.

Thanks for the info Martin.  The problem turned out to be that the
extraction didn't work properly; I was missing several executable files
including gcc.exe.

Is there a doc somewhere that contains a file list?
