I asked about this earlier but didn't get an answer. Hopefully,
someone will answer now. If I want to use the library with my own
code, then how do I proceed? I tried the first solution (from above)
but I don't know how to include /where/ever/gnat-math-extn-YYYYMMDD/
src in the ADA_PROJECTS_PATH environment variable.

As for the second solution, I understand that it can be either a / or
a \ depending whether it's Windows or Linux. I have Windows and I
tried /. I can't get this to work. And how do I put an absolute path?
The GNAT compiler expects an identifier after with and it finds " and
complains.


Thanks a lot...
