You go to groups.google.com and search comp.lang.ada for the 30,000 or 
so threads where this was answered before.

Try passing -mwindows to the linker.

To be more specific, that's:

  gnatmake programName -largs -mwindows

Try putting this in the declarative region of your main program:

pragma Linker_Options ("-mwindows") ;

You can do something similar from the command line. There should be a
section of the Gnat User's Guide (or other documentation that came with it -
don't have it in front of me to check) that talks specifically about
building apps and dlls for Windows. Also, you can find lots of other
interesting pragmas along the way, so it will pay you to spend a little time
traipsing through it.
