Re: Compiling Ada from another directory

[anon@anon.org (anon)]

#
# The "bind" and "link" functions do not require command line options 
#
gcc -c -o _build/Bottles.o src/Bottles.adb
gnatbind _build/Bottles.ali
gnatlink _build/Bottles.ali


# The simpler way or with users defined packages:
#
# object_directory => is the directory for *.ali and *.o and executable
# source_directory => is the directory with all user's Ada source files
# unit.adb => user main compilation_unit

cd object_directory 
gnatmake ../source_directory/unit.adb 

#
# for a compile list of command line options
#
# gnatmake -help
