Ok, here are my old notes (Windows menu points translated back to
english,
which will surely result in some wrong texts...). 

Starting point was NT4 (SP6), Gnat 3.14p, AdaGide and GtkAda-1.3.6.

No installation of cygwin.

Installation of Cygwin-Tools(no libs, just some unix-typical exes). 
AFAIK no longer distributed as a package. Used
http://www.caslsoft.com/gcc_tools/cygwin-b20.1-usertools.exe
and installed it.

Created C:\tmp und C:\bin

Copied c:\cygnus\cygwin-b20\H-i586-cygwin32\bin\bash.exe to c:\bin

Renamed c:\bin\bash.exe to sh.exe

Put link to sh.exe on the desktop with layout-height set to 1000.

Menu: Start->Config->Systemcontrol->System->Environment:
Append to PATH (semicolon separated):
  C:\GNAT\lib\gcc-lib\pentiu~1\2.8.1
  C:\cygnus\cygwin~1\H-i586~1\bin
(The long names don't do it! Find short ones with dir/x)

copy glade-3.14p-src.tar.gz to C:\

Start desktop link to sh and there:
  cd /
  tar xzf glade-3.14p-src.tar.gz
  cd glade-3.14p-src
  edit Dist/xe_reg.adb
    near line 176 in the comment and the code:
    replace "Free Software Foundation" with
    "Ada Core Technologies"
  edit Garlic/Makefile.in
    replace sed 's/\013//g' by tr -d '\015'
    (Yes, also replace 13 by 15)
  edit Dist/config.sdefault
    replace sed 's/\015//'  by tr -d '\015'
  ./configure --prefix=/GNAT
     The prefix value has to be the Registry-Entry
     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Ada CoreTechnologies/GCC
     in Unix-Notation. It is case significant!
  make install

I wonder how those sed-commands came into the script -- AFAIK sed
never understood the octal backslash notation -- and in one of the
places octal and decimal were mixed up.

Have fun
