Greetings,
After the GNAT-GPS installation and creating a project from the "simple game" template I get fallowing error message: "Programm can't be started because SDL_ttf.dll is missing...". Sadly google didn't help me and I'm pretty clue less since it's a fresh installation from GPS. Anybody have any ideas?
My System: Windows 8.1
GNAT: gnat-gpl-2014-x86-windows-bin.exe (have tryed reinstallation)
P.S. If I run the programm with right click and CPU built in or dedicated GPU I don't get an error message put it still won't open a window. Also tryed runing under compatabilty mode (win7).

I have had a similar problem in the last few weeks.
On Windows 7 I have the same SDL_ttf.dll problem. I did find this dll on
the internet, but the folder I tried to place it in did not solve the
problem.
On Windows XP no joy, possibly different reasons.
When I have access to my system I will post the details.
If one of us finds a solution, we should post it here to help the other,
no? :)

Apparently when you're running a program within GPS it runs in the
directory where the GPR (GNAT Project) file is located; so that'd be
where SDL_tff.dll would need to be. (OP wrote SDL_ttf.dll, my searches
indicated SDL_tff.dll - ?)

Ja, that's correct :)
Another workaround is by copy the file from
<GNAT>/lib/SDL_ttf.dll to <GNAT>/bin/SLD_ttf.dll

Thanks, the workaround worked perfectly!
I assume the real solution is to set the path to include this <GNAT>/lib/
directory. I have a Russian version of windows 7 and so that is not
easy....
