Which gcc.exe is it finding? You want it to find the GNAT compiler, not
the MSYS gcc.

I installed it using the GNAT GPL distribution from libre.adacore.com,
using Cygwin to run configure and make, with the GNAT GPL Ada compiler
first in PATH.

Step-by-step here (first few steps):

(I guess I should mention Cygwin for Windows in that manual)


You could also try msys2
http://sourceforge.net/p/msys2/wiki/MSYS2%20installation/ ; I find that
to be better than the original msys. But in general I prefer Cygwin,
mostly because it has a more complete set of tools.
