Well, I didn't read the README file for a start and I was trying to

that use AUnit. And I didn't keep your directory structure. Of course

Can we include this library in GPS for use with our own codes? I try
to
include it as a library but I wasn't successful.

I tried the first method. Still, I am not sure what the
ADA_PROJECTS_PATH environment variable is. Can we customize it within
GPS itself?
