And the project(s) compiled cleanly, even on my personal x64 gnat build Using this ZFP, along with my WinRT/UWP library, I was a able to build a simple Hello World (XAML based) that now PASSES the "Windows Store app Certification". Note this is a true blue native Windows Store app, and does NOT use the bridging/Centennial technology. The main caveat in all this is, the use of the ZFP which is fairly restrictive, and does not allow me to use features of Ada that I feel would be a must have running under this environment. In particular "Tasking and maybe controlled types" Could someone give me guidance on how to add "Tasking" support to the ZFP ? I can use the Mingw-64 code base, I assume its not just as simple as adding these source files to the ZFP source tree ? Is their any other configuration changes needed other than in system.ads ? Thanks Alex
