GNAT Linker works sometimes and sometimes not with project files

GNAT Linker works sometimes and sometimes not with project files

[Michael Erdmann]

I have a strange situation. When i use project files, the gnatmake
generates a command string for gnatlink which failes to resolve external
references into a library. When i execute the same command manually the
command line is building the executable. Any idea what the problem could
be (see below). Second of all what if causing the "completed ...."
message!

That seems to be the -d

(GPS must use this, it produces the same sort of output in the bottom
right hand status bar)

Thanks. I found the problem (but without understanding it at all). After
adding the -u switch at
the end everthing was fine!
