I see what you mean. This is the latest that I tried (what you suggested) and the result that I received:
> gnatmake -l../../../src -aL../../../ali/debug main_static.adb -largs -L../../../bin/debug -lsimpleLibs
gnatmake : gnatmake: missing library directory name
At line:1 char:1
+ gnatmake -l../../../src -aL../../../ali/debug main_static.adb -largs ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (gnatmake: missing library directory name:String) [], RemoteException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandError
One problem that I had when dealing with project files is that I'm including the library's project file in the compilation process. This makes it really easy to include the library in my application. However, I'm not sure what to do when I don't have the said project file.
