In the 'check_cmd' string, "${full_current}" is replaced by the current
file name:

check_cmd=make check SOURCE_FILE=${full_current}

Then you have a makefile rule like:

check : $(SOURCE_FILE)
    gnatmake -gnatc -P$(GNAT_PROJECT) $<

This assumes GNAT_PROJECT is set elsewhere in the Makefile.

Note that this will also syntax-check any files that SOURCE_FILE
"with"s; I find that useful.

There should be a similar option for gprbuild, but I have not found a
need for it yet.



Alternately, you can use a makefile target like:

%.check : %.adb
    gnatmake -gnatc -P$(GNAT_PROJECT) $*


Then to check a single file foo.adb, from the Makefile do:

M-x compile
make -r foo.check
