Cannot Add adb or ads file to project in GPS 6.0.1

Cannot Add adb or ads file to project in GPS 6.0.1

[yamenajjour]

Hi All ,

After creating a project with the following entries in GPS

project Hofstader is

   for Source_Dirs use ("src/**");
   for Object_Dir use "obj";
   for Exec_Dir use "output";
   for Main use ("main.adb");

end Hofstader;

i tried to add an already existing file whose suffix is adb , unfortunately i am getting always the following error 

hofstader.gpr:1:09: language unknown for "stader.adb"

Any idea what could be the reason

Try to add the line

for Languages use ("Ada");

in the project file.

What exactly do you mean by "add"?

It could be many.

What does

gprconfig -v

say? It should list "GNAT for Ada" with a path to GNAT installation
directory.

    * The attribute Source_Dirs can automatically include subdirectories
       using a special syntax inspired by some UNIX shells. If any of
      the path in   the list ends with _"**"_, then that path and all
      its subdirectories   (recursively) are included in the list of
      source directories. For instance,   `**' and `./**' represent the
      complete directory tree rooted at ".".

Hi,

Did you manage to find a solution to this problem? I am having the same issue.

Thanks

OP never actually told us what his project structure was, or the result
of 'gprconfig' (gprconfig works out which compiler to use for a given
language).

If gprconfig doesn't show any Ada compilers, you might be able to find
out why by saying 'gprconfig -v' (look for lines starting 'GNAT is
candidate').

The most likely problem is mis-installation (you're picking up a
gprconfig that isn't part of the same installation as your
compiler). A long time ago I also saw this problem when the gprconfig
was built for a different version of the compiler than the actual, but
it's cleverer now.

What OS? what version of the compiler? what version of GPS, if you're
using it?
