Since you repeated the phrase:
  compiler/debugger (adagide/gdb) twice, it occurs to me... perhaps you are
confused.

AdaGide is NOT a compiler.  AdaGide is an IDE that invokes a compiler.

You can certainly invoke GNAT from the command line or a number of other
IDE's.

>From windows you can open up a command prompt and type:

  gnatmake hello

To create an executable from the source file hello.adb.

Is there some reason GNAT does not satisfy your needs?  I'm curious to know.
