Did that, but as you pointed out it doesn't seem to work.

I managed to get it built by copying all source files to xmlada\src, opening
all ads files and hitting F3 in AdaGIDE until every ads file was compiled
and then copying *.ali and *.o to xmlada\lib.  Then put them on the
ADA_OBJECTS_PATH and ADA_INCLUDE_PATH, and reboot.  Took a while, but it
works!!!
