Once deprecated unless som= ething changes it will no longer be possible to build an FSF GNAT using FSF= tools. As it is, I doubt there will be future Windows 64 builds available = already after 4.9.x unless we do something. So the first priority is to save gnatmake as the FSF=A0tool to build FSF=A0= GNAT ! I don't really understand what are the technical improvements of GPR Build = over gnatmake. All I know is that even for a simple case of code generation= using AYacc, I needed to create a makefile and an XML configuration file t= o use GPR Build...=20 I thought that if I had a small Ada Library able to manage source files, ob= ject files and the equivalent of ".ali" files, I could write directly an Ad= a program that would call Ayacc and gnatmake, with not more work than creat= ing makefiles and XML files.
